how do you get your toddler to sit...

for a picture - my 16 month old is always running and won't sit still for a picture. i tried to get a picture while we were pumpkin picking but he was no interested in sitting - he loves to walk all over the place - any advise? this isn't just me is it?

That explains why most of my pics of Jake from 14 mos and up are blurry!! Chat Icon

For my X-mas cards last year the only way I could do it was to give him a book too read and hurry up and snap the pics and to have DH hold him then frame the pic without DH.

I have no idea how I'm going to get them done this year! Chat Icon

My DD will not sit either. I have a lot of action shots. The back of her head, the side of her faceChat Icon When I took her for her 1 year photo I didn't think I would get one good picture.

The key for us is.... digital camera, and an assistant... Chat Icon

I'll frame the shot, DW will hold one or more DC, then we'll do a quick count-down, and she'll step out of frame as I click. Since it's digital, I don't mind "wasting" a few dozen shots... Chat Icon

The digital really helps and you really have to move quick. I sit him down, get a toy for him to look at in my direction and click the camera.
