“slow it down. make it stop. or else my heart is going to pop!”
Tomorrow my little girl will be 7 months. That’s more than a half a year that she has been in my life. I often feel like I’m not paying enough attention to all the little things. Time goes by so fast. I take too much for granted. A few of my favorite mommy bloggers have reminded me of this today.
I was really touched by a video I came across on boho baby bump this morning. The video was intended to make a big announcement at the end, but it was all the things leading up to the announcement that really got to me. It creatively captured a day in the life of this little family, pointing out things that on most days you would never pay attention to.
Another blogger I follow regularly is ohdeardrea. I love the way she really let’s you in to her life through her photography. She posts about the pretty things in life, and even the messy things. The best part of her photography is that it really brings out her little girls personality. I’ve never met little Marlowe or ever spoken to her mom, but I feel like I know her. And as this little girl grows up, and her personality and habits change, her mama will always have these amazing photos to look back on and remember the little things, like the spaghetti on her baby girls lap as she eats her lunch.
Today, @ProjectBabyBlog tweeted
“There is nothing better than open-mouth baby kisses. Nothing. #motherhood”
To some that may sound gross or like no big deal. To a mommy it’s what we look forward to every day.
So take time in your day to notice and be grateful for the little things. Don’t photograph the obvious, capture the little things that you will want to remember someday. Sit back, enjoy the show.
I hope you enjoy these bloggers as much as I do
