I can hardly believe 6 months has come and gone.  And the rate of development that a baby goes through in the first year is so fun to experience.  In just the past month, Syd has had her first baby food and she loves it all...except maybe peas.  Bananas are her favorite.  She can sit up all on her own.  Traveled to Mexico and enjoyed her first vacation.  She has even mumbled the syllables, "Ma ma."  I swear!  Her character and personality are so adorable.  And, we may be biased, but Johnny and I think she is the best baby in the world.

Here's a couple quick snap shots.

I try to write her a letter every month about the things I love about her and how she is growing.  So, here's month 6.

Syd,

I love how happy you are at all times.  Your smile and laughter brighten our days. It's amazing to watch your little wheels start to turn as you play with a new toy or look at a new object.  You have the biggest, most beautiful eyes and you get compliments on them wherever we go.  I'm still thinking you may get your Daddy's green eyes but they may be turning brown also...  We think you are the best baby in the world and cherish every moment.  Your Dad and I feel so blessed to have you in our life and we constantly tell each other how cute you are and how much we love you.  I love to look at you when you sleep.  It's so peaceful and adorable. It's amazing to watch how fearless and determined you are when you're awake.  And, you're quick!  If you want something, you're going for it.  I'm loving how you love things too.  You love the water.  You could splash in a pool as long as we'll let you.  You love all the new foods we're introducing and get so excited when you get in your high chair.  I could go on and on.  Every day is something new and we love you.

Love always,
Mom & Dad

H...I cannot help but tear up every month I read one of these. It's so great to see how much love and excitement you and Johnny have over her. I love every moment we get with Syd and know she will always be aware of how loved she is!

Some new things I'm excited about....

New wedding photography disc cases!  The first batch took some time arriving but now I'm stocked up!  I really love this one.  Favorite new feature...It has a magnetic field to keep it closed.  Baby sessions will feature a white, pink or blue...

And, I can't wait to use this new basket with my next newborn photography session.

I know I've basically missed Syd's 5 month letter.  I may post it with her 6 month which is less than one week away. 

Enjoy your week!

I just ordered this newborn baby boy knit hat and diaper cover set for newborn sessions.  eeee!  It's so adorable.  I can't wait.  They make so much out there for little baby girls and I'm excited to see this for baby boys.  I've ordered from Chickyloo on Etsy before and I'm smitten with her customer service, knits and even her packaging.

Little Charlotte came in from Shawnee for her 5 month baby photography session.  I hadn't seen her since her newborn session and she is just precious!  She's growing like a weed, pushing up so nice and tall, and finally fitting into that little tutu! 

I love all of her expressions...even though she may have been too interested in the camera to smile, she's got that beautiful baby fascination look as she's taking it all in and learning so fast.
