One sweet year

8/24/2012

As I moaned and groaned my way into the hospital one year ago, I wondered if I'd ever be able to love another child as much as I did Salem.  Then, at 1:11 in the afternoon, that silly question flew out of the window as I met my Blair.  She is sweet, observant, silly, and cuddly.  I'm so thankful to have been with her every day of her first year and I am so excited to continue to watch her grow.

I am sometimes envious of the photos my clients get of their families and growing children; I can put 100% of myself into their photos, but am often grabbing the camera between sorting the laundry and stirring the beans when it comes to my own children.  So I scheduled a one-year shoot for Blair.  I actually put it on the "work" calendar, bought an outfit, and hauled everybody (and everything!) to the park.  Here is the end result!

She was so rotten with that headband!!  We tried giving her this favorite bear, and while that made her smile, it did NOT distract her from tearing the headband off in an instant!

After asking Salem to hold Blair's hand, she quickly grabbed her by the arm and started trying to drag her through the field.  Bo said "no thanks."

But we managed a few of the Smith Sisters!

The entourage it took to get this accomplished.  Special thanks to Daddy, Mimi, and Pappy!

I love how this silhouette shows the roundness of her head

I truly can not believe how quickly a year can fly by.  I still remember the smell of her new baby skin and the sound of those little baby noises she made in the night. Here's to a very happy first birthday to you Bo Bo!

Here's a peak from her fun watermelon party - more from that soon!
