My wee little baby girl turned 1 month old in December. I had this grand idea I would be capturing so many pictures of her while on maternity leave BUT something else was on my mind. SLEEP! OMG, I completely forgot what it’s like to be a mom to a newborn again. I have definitely been trying to capture pictures of her whether it’s studio quality or just some quick shots at home. We weren’t really blessed with a quiet, calm baby. Instead we had one that was quite the crier. She’s very opinionated and knows what she wants and a lot of times didn’t know what she wanted so it took hours to get her to calm down.
As a mom I am used to hearing other moms say how “perfect” their kids are however I am not like that. I like discussing the good, the bad and the ugly. Right now it’s definitely ugly when she’s awake. When asleep she’s so stinkin’ cute & LOVES to be cuddled. We tried every technique known to the man to calm her and stop the crying but nothing worked yet, we had our fingers crossed it would be soon! The only time she would be guaranteed to be happy was on her changing table. We have NO idea why, but she loved it. She would just lay there kicking her legs looking around.
In the meantime we enjoyed having a 1 month old for the holidays again. I loaded up on so many Gymboree vintage Holiday/Christmas outfits & could not wait to put them all on her.
