HOPELESSLY DEVOTED

Yesterday, when we should have been at church, Stella had just woken up from her nap, and was in a very good mood. I started taking pictures of her even though I was starving. It is certainly interesting the little signs that come up now and then of how much I love my daughter (or how obsessed I am). Normally I would eat if I was really hungry with threat of my blood sugar dropping, but instead I wanted to take pictures. Here is some more evidence of my devotion (as if this blog weren't enough):

  • I hate feet, and I always have hated feet. Even when I was tiny I screamed when my mom clipped my toe nails. It was so drastic she even asked the doctor if something was wrong with me. However, I love Stella's tiny toes. I even kiss them all the time since it makes her giggle.
  • I love it when Stella "gets into things." I find it fascinating that she has figured out how to take her diapers out of her diaper caddy. I am for sure going to be one of those moms who can't discipline her kids since even when she is bad, she is ever-so-adorable.
  • How annoying is the sound of a sneeze?! I know, I sneeze too, but when someone sneezes...even Brent, I am totally grossed out. But sometimes in the morning, I hear Stella sneeze far away in her crib, and it is so adorable! It is like a mini sneeze! It is even cute when a giant booger flies out of her nose along with it.
  • I am certain I would end any kind of relationship with someone that peed on me. However, Stella is still living with us.
I am sure that more evidence of my strong feelings will arise as the years go by. Until then, enjoy the pictures of my child that I took while I got dizzy from hunger.

Those photos were WELL worth the starvation. They are so cute. Tongue shots are a favorite of mine. I love baby feet too and enjoy every picture of toes, especially how cute Stella's are. I love that she has her one foot curled. (by the way, I just sneezed and it didn't sound cute!) Must be a baby thing. I love these!

I love the tongue sticking out and her cute toes! It is amazing how much we love them... one time Aedan exploded out his bum while I was changing him. It got all over me and even on my face. It was so disgusting and yet... I still adore him!

It's funny how those things we thought we hated fly out the window when a baby comes along. You never know how they're going to change your life, they just do, and in the most adorable way possible.

I just loved these shots, especially the tongue shot. I never wanted Bryce to be over a year old, but now that she is almost three I realize there is something awesome about every age and time. I guess the magic formula is to be there as much as you can so you don't miss anything! Your photography is a real gift - one that will help you hold all these wonderful memories closer to your heart! Next time you come to IF we really need to meet each other in person!

I Finally have time to see your cute blog! Stella has grown a ton, and is of course beautiful! She's lucky to have a mom capture all her cute precious moments!
