LIFE with a little one...

It's been nearly 6 years since I had my own "newly fresh from the hospital" baby...It's a good thing that I forgot about the colic and the sleepless nights that plagued the first years of my first two children, otherwise, we might not have had our sweet little munchkin:)

My heart only chooses to remember the smell of baby lotion after a warm bath... how little hands grabbed at my face and longed to twirl my hair...how coos escaped while she watched my every move...how every time that I picked her up, my knees automatically started to bounce and my body swayed as I soaked in every detail...

My life looks a lot different now...I don't find myself swaying or singing lullabies...I don't hear myself with "shushing" sound as I watch eyelids close slowly...my "babies" are too big for me to carry any longer and their sweet little feet don't fit in the palm of my hand...

And although each new season is exciting and brings with it, new challenges and growth that I wouldn't change for the world...I am soooo utterly thankful for the moments I had when they were babies...and I'm thankful for the images I have that remind me that time slips by so quickly...

I had the privilege to photograph this family with their just 2 month old little boy...I had the chance to just observe them "living life" and then I "caught" it for them to remember!  They were naturals with this little guy...and with each other...I was honored to be present...

I had to get some sweet detail pictures for mommy as well....

What a lovely afternoon I had just watching and listening...all the memories came back to me as well...it's a precious time for sure!
