Turning one is so cool.
…Because turning one not only involves lots of cake goodness (and if youre a lucky photographer and accidentally get some on you, you might just be foreced to eat it – painful, I know), lots of “oooooh!” from baby, and a precious mess at the end that for once, you really wont mind cleaning up.
Turning one is a victory for parents, I think. When it’s the first baby, turning one means – holy cow – we made it. In the last year, Addie’s (name used with permission, because I am so sure you recognize her from her 4 mo. pictures and all of my postcards! she’s the wide eyed girly-pie on the opening slide to the blog slideshow) parents like many others probably slept less than they’d ever had, washed more laundry than they ever had, and cleaned up more poop than they ever thought possible – anyone with kids knows poop becomes an easily conversable topic that no longer involves cringing
The best part? Each sleepless night ends up with a gummy baby smile, maybe with a tooth or two. You’ll cry when you realize its the last time you’ll wash that shirt because he/she has outgrown it, but gladly end up shopping for more – and the poo’ thing? Well the potty comes soon enough. Can’t say I have to add any other celebratory words to that.
Turning one means you made it. It’s a celebration for everyone, but baby takes the cake and gets all the presents
When it’s a second or further down the line addition, I’d say the “we made it to one year” victory deserves something more like a night out at the bar for mom and dad (smile)!
Happy soon-to-be 1st birthday little Addie!
Now, onto a few more mini session sneakity-peeks:)
Meet little mister from the M. family. Those eyes, if they haven’t yet, might just wrap you up and squeeze you!
How about that giggle-face?! I know, I know, after mini-sessions I will retire the darn doorstep but I just love it!
I’ll be away for a bit more than likely, I have a wedding to finish up (see below!) and lots of ordering to do that I am way far behind on – and having a kindergartender whos missed now her 3rd day of school isn’t speeding up the process any.
