catching up...

   i'm going to try to catch up this blog on the last year...and then move forward! Let's start with just a few maternity pictures to remember what I looked like just over a year ago! A good friend and great photographer Aja took these for us. I find having my picture taken at any time extremely uncomfortable, but I'm so glad to have this memory! Even though I was huge and swollen, It's good to have a record of how we looked before little Noah was born...

    Noah was born in December of '09, and a lot has happened since then! Here are just a few of his newborn pictures, it was quite an adventure to get the pictures. He actually managed to pee in one of the shots! That was the first time I laughed really hard, and realized how much fun I would have with the this new tiny person...
        this is just a family snapshot, it's hard to believe he was ever so tiny!

     
           there's really nothing sweeter than a sleeping, peaceful newborn! that first six weeks was so hard, just adjusting and the sleepless nights...but now I see how incredibly fast that time flew by and miss every bit of it!

last but not least, the magic moment! this captured the moment in time when i finally realized how fun it was going to be, and finally felt like 'yes, i can do this!'

so i've covered the newborn period briefly, the next post will skim over the next year up until now,
lots of pictures to come!
