My sweet little McKamy is growing up. I really cannot believe that it’s already been three entire months since she was born. The days and weeks are slipping by so quickly — how did they go by so fast?
I am so glad that I’ve been keeping this blog and spending so much time each and every day with her. I can only imagine how these little moments and memories would be lost without journaling about them. It’s really encouraged me to slow down and think about the little things that make each day special. The precious smiles. The little sounds she makes — coos and sighs and giggles. Those precious moments nursing, when all time seems to stop and my heart melts. The nameless moments in time where all my attention is focused on Kamy and realizing the joy she brings to our family.
Sometimes the day just seems to escape me, caught in a puzzle of to do lists and juggling Kamy. Some days I just wish for a solid 15 minutes to relax and do my own thing. But it’s all worth it. I wouldn’t choose to be any where else. Being a mother is harder than I anticipated — and much more constant. I know she’ll grow to be more independent and there will be times I wish for this closeness and her needs that only I can fulfill. Those moments when she is upset and all she needs is her Momma. When my voice and touch will soothe her little tears and calm her racing heart. When my face will light up hers.
All in time. Slow down time, let’s rest here for a bit. I’m enjoying life much too much to let it slip away without paying attention.
Here are a few photos from JCPenney for her three month photo shoot. We also took some for the 4th of July, but I’ll save those for a later post. =) Since I just finished buying a round of photos, I only ordered a few of them this time, but several were cute and really caught a lot of her little quirky expressions.
We LOVE standing up. It’s so much fun!
And my favorite of these photos:
Happy birthday Kamy — you bring such joy and light to our family!
