6 Months of Daniel

Newborn

24 May

Since my son came along 11 mths ago (HOLY COW how time flies!), I’ve developed an interest in lifestyle photography. There are so many daily routine activities that we momma’s need pictures of to document the many memories of our little ones’ babyhood– reading that special book, bath time, feedings, all the diaper changing, the crazy human tricks we do to extract that adorable, toothless smile, bedtime/ naptime routines, the activities our babes are fascinated with, and the list goes on and on and on and on and… ok.

Recently I’ve had the pleasure of finally meeting Daniel– the son of one of my childhood friends. We had a ball playing piano, scaring the cat, pulling books from the shelves, and greeting Daddy as he came home from work. Daniel’s mom and I both have this book, Love You Forever. Let me just tell you, I become teary-eyed every time I read this book.

During his diaper changes, Daniel loves to reach out for mommy’s face and play with her hair. He’s not too fond of his sippy cup just yet though. 🙂

After playing a little while, we decided to see if Daniel would let us capture him by himself. Here he is smiling at momma. Love those teeth! That boy sure does have his momma’s eyes!

So. stinking. cute. This is mommy’s childhood chair in Daniel’s nursery. He has recently discovered his fingers too. LOL Woah duck.

After Daddy came home, we decided to venture outside for some family photos. LOVE your property!!!


Daniel LOVED for you to blow your lips like a motor boat!

Thank you R and E for allowing me to capture Daniel at 6 months. You have been blessed with a sweet little boy! Can’t wait for he and Gus to meet 🙂

It’s a screenshot from a video filmed Saturday night in low-light on a smart phone, but it captured a core memory for me! 💜 We used to dance a lot; well before everyone had video devices with them everywhere. 😅👵🏼 This picture is such a treasure to me-  my forever dance partner! 🥰 Thank you, @pampamtee !!!

I’ve recently realized that most of my friends force me out of my comfort zone. 😆😆😆 And while I am not the best at voicing my thoughts a lot of times, I’m so very thankful for that in my friends! 

And it is no different for this girl! 

Find you a friend who says, (meanwhile, while we are planning a trip to Utah), “Oh! But let’s extend a couple days, rent a car, leave Utah and travel to Idaho for some sight- seeing to check that state off my list! And while we are there we may as well drive on to Oregon before flying back home. And possibly Washington if we have time!” 😳🤣 And so we did! (We didn’t make it to Washington, though.)

Or a friend when returning from a girl’s trip to Hawaii with a 4 hr layover in San Francisco says, “you know… we might as well hop in an Uber and go see the Golden Gate Bridge while we wait.”And already had the Uber lined up before I could think this through. 😆😅 

I knew of April in high school, and even vacationed with her family (friends also with her SIL) one Christmas to Dollywood, and thought, “now there’s a girl who isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. I LOVE THAT!” 🤣 No wonder our lives have connected years later! And I’m SO THANKFUL FOR YOU!

Happiest of birthdays, @april_waddell_essentials ! Have the best adventure today!!!

Y’all… I really *am* thankful for friends in my life who push me out of my comfort zone. lol! And also plan adventures!!! I do think of the fun adventures in my head, but the planning part is NOT my forte. However, my pal Allison has it down pat! 🙌 She approached me several months ago about an overnight backpacking trip with her and her kids. I was reluctant, but I also have been slightly curious how it would be, since I’ve camped many times- just not by packing everything in on foot.  So, when she said it would be for only one night, AND we would have another gal along who had done it many times, I agreed! 

Well, two days before leaving, we had to pivot. 😅 Our ‘guide’ had a family emergency, and couldn’t go with us. So, our original plan for hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway had to be switched up a little, since we both knew nothing about it. We decided to add a little safety net and backpack into a primitive site at Jones Gap State Park instead. It was WONDERFUL! We camped beside a waterfall, and had the best time! 

Our backpacks were SLAM FULL. 😆 And we survived it! We all slept in hammocks. Well… I didn’t sleep real well actually because I FROZE (40ish degrees) even though I had on a short sleeve, a long sleeve, a sweat shirt, and a jacket all while inside a sleeping bag. 🤣🤦‍♀️ I definitely learned I need a hammock liner or something. 

Regardless, I would totally do it again! 🙌💜 So thankful for nature-loving friends!!!
