I know that this is likely to not score well, but I just have to share Cody's adorableness, so here you go :)

I actually took photos of him on two days, trying to get the lighting and facial expression right. I love photos from both days, but I find this one to be more "DPC friendly" even if it's not the cutest of the photos. I feel the unobtrusive background and warm late afternoon light may help.
