Look closely and you'll see she's holding onto two rings, so she's not falling. It doesn't appear photoshopped, but I think the girl is older than she appears, you can see her long ponytail behind her, so she's definitely beyond toddler age.

Faster camera? I can catch moments on my Nikon that I can't begin to catch on my less expensive cameras. Also, I think several of these might be from video where they pulled one still frame from the right moment.

Am sitting on my bed going through this list. My bf is next to me, sleeping. This list quickly became a "can you get to the bottom of this list without waking bf up?"-challenge! I can't remember the last time I cried so much from laughing without making a sound. Haha! Even had to fetch a tissue. 🤣
