Cheese!

Ellie uses this as a noun and a verb.  She will say "cheese" in order to create a smile for a picture, and she refers to the act of taking a picture as cheesing.

She won't, of course, eat cheese, unless it is melted and no one mentions that it is cheese, but instead refers to it by some foreign word like "pizza" or "quesadilla."

Anyway, this weekend I wanted to take a picture of her because she was being particularly cute, and she said cheese for me.

This first attempt is pretty terrifying.

 Luckily, she stopped trying to smile eventually.

Notice the hands in the pockets. Hands in the pockets are a big thing for Ellies.
