Photoshoot!

Monday we finally used a gift given to us by one of my coworkers. We got some great pictures taken by Debora Spencer Photography. Here are a few of my favorites (ok, here are A LOT of my favorites, but she gave us over a hundred photos and every one was beautiful):

Who me?

I love this face.

Baby getting bored? Rice cracker!

 

Daddy is making faces at you so we start to get some smiles...

Fighting the urge to giggle.

There they are! Teeth!

One of your many scrunchy faces. My favorite is "snooty face", which includes pursed lips.

We had so much fun. The photographer kept asking if you were always this good... of course she is! ;)



On a different note, I am approaching another big first in mommyhood.

This weekend will be my first night away from you... ever.

Every year some of my college girlfriends get together for a girls trip. You even went with us to Leavenworth last year (I was 6 months pregnant and all the girls got to feel your crazy gymnastic moves in my belly!)

This weekend we are going to Portland, OR.

I know it is only one night and you will be so very fine with your daddy, but for some reason it is still a little sad for me. I am excited to see my friends and I know it is good to be Chelsea too sometimes and not always just Mama, but I feel like you are growing up so fast and I don't like to miss a second! See a theme here?

I will do my best to have 90% fun and only feel 10% sadness for not being with you.

Maybe 75/25... deal?
