Everyday I look at my little girl, I can’t believe how fast she is growing up. During Ben’s first year all I wanted was for him to sit up on his own, eat “real” food, then walk, then talk….I was always looking for the next big milestone, never really taking the time to enjoy the stage he was in at the time. Now Chris and I look at our big 3 year old boy and gasp sometimes, how did he get to be such a little boy romping around ,talking in full sentances and doing his thing? He is definitely our parenting challenge I tell ya! God is teaching me patience!
Well….when Mia was born I vowed to just enjoy every stage she went through without rushing to the next, but this little girl seems to WANT to rush! Once she finally sat up on her own, she didn’t stop, crawling, pulling up to standing, cruising, and now even some ‘bambi’ steps on her own, and I am thinking SLOW down little one, slow down! (side note: as least she’s not talking yet besides the occasional “dadda”!)
I love having little ones, and to see them grown and change and develop is such a blessing, but a little sad at the same time…I am sure other Mommy’s can relate to that feeling. I guess that’s why I take so many photos of my kids, I want to remember everything!! I know and realize just how fast it really does pass you by, and I know people think I am crazy for the amount of photos I take of my kids (believe me I have got comments!) but when it comes down to it, I don’t think I will ever regret having so many wonderful photo’s to look back on! Here are some of Mia’s 9 month shots…I bought this hat months ago with a ‘winter’ photo shoot in mind…
This standing pose turned out to be my fave, since you can see her little birth mark on her left upper thigh, I love that little mark!
The many faces of Mia Grace or “Gracie” as we affectionately call her…
I will continue to take photos of my kids as they grow, and share them, because it packs together two of my favorite things, my kids and photography…..what could be a better hobby?! And you know I am here to help capture photo’s of YOUR kids/families too, just give me a shout at shelleysomers@gmail.com I am already booking photo sessions for the spring/summer 2010! I am also excited and blessed to announce that come spring we will [hopefully and Lord willing} have a little “shelley k” studio right in my house!! I can’t WAIT!
