We had family pictures taken today. This was the first time since you were born (well… since Mommy and Daddy’s wedding) that we actually had a family portrait taken.
I am big on pictures. I love them. I love scrapbooking, but the thing that I love the most about pictures is how they can capture a moment, a point in our lives, so perfectly. Daddy is always wanting you to have the “perfect” picture- without your hands in your mouth, without any other distractions. However, in my opinion, that would be taking YOU out of the picture.
In even a year from now you won’t always have your hands in your mouth. You won’t have your new crinkly face, you won’t have your mohawk (I hope!)… and you probably won’t have your WIDE OPEN mouth smile. I love that smile. I love when a photographer can capture you- how you are now. Just as you are.
You don’t have to have the perfect smile, or have your hand placed by your side… I want to remember what it was like now. I want to remember my precious first-born. My itty-bitty. My boogie. (Aren’t you going to love all these nicknames when you are older!)
The pictures turned out great. I love our little family. I want to continue getting these pictures taken each year… because you change so quickly. I don’t want these precious moments to go by without being frozen in time, if just for one moment.
I love you sweet baby girl.
Love,
Mama
