Pictures - beautiful moments captured - make me happy. I look at them over and over again. I love how looking at a picture can take me back to special times and places and I can remember the sounds, smells, emotions.
Julia will be four weeks old tomorrow. I was just looking at pictures from her first week of life - she was so sleepy and cuddly. She has changed so much in such a short time - it's amazing! She is becoming more co-ordinated, babbling more, moving more, sleeping less. She found her thumb and started sucking on it for the first time yesterday! I want to capture these moments! Here is my favourite photo from the session we had with Heather from Duncan Photography yesterday. Julia was not a very co-operative model, but the photos turned out great. Thanks Heather!
I love the time I spend with Julia, but I also appreciate quiet moments for myself - a nap in the afternoon, reading a few pages of a good book, a cup of tea! Before having a baby I always felt guilty taking time for myself. I always had to be busy, productive. In a way, Julia has forced me to slow down, relax, observe more - I am thankful.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
Psalm 23 : 2, 3a
