Can’t believe it’s been 4 months; can’t believe we ever were without her… Happy 4 months to my little love bug.

With Tropical Storm Debby making Sarasota a windy, soggy mess this weekend, we had a great excuse for lots and lots of snuggles… T made use of the cozy days at home by working out (i.e., tummy time), “reading,” getting smooched by her parents, chatting with her BFF (the ceiling fan), squealing very, very loudly, and eating her hands and bunny… Pretty productive weekend, I think.

Happy Father’s Day to this handsome new father. T is a lucky girl to have him as her dad. He loves her with his whole self and wants nothing more than for her to be a happy girl. And I am lucky to have him as my parenting partner.

…and to my dad for not only being such a supportive and loving father but also the greatest Saba to our little T… (Here she was 3 weeks old with her dad and her Saba.)

…to T’s Grampy, who’s also an incredibly devoted father of 6:

…to E’s dad for raising my favorite little man:

…and to all of the other fathers in our family and friends – and to my wonderful client dads!

Can’t believe T is already 12 weeks old… She’s picking up so many new things these days… laughing (literally the best sound that has ever entered my ears, followed closely by E‘s giggles), rubbing her eyes (may have been accidental, but she did it when she was sleepy, so I’m counting it!), gnawing on anything that comes her way, smiling when she sees/hears her family and friends (i.e. stuffed animals – see below)… Such tiny things make me so very, very happy these days.

Almost time to get back to work – I’m excited to photograph some adorable kids, but I’ve loved having my little T be my muse these past 12 weeks!

Mondays mean our T is one week older, so they’re happy (and a bit sad considering how quickly they seem to be coming) around here!

Our little sphinx:

This Mother’s Day is extra special for me because I get to celebrate it for the first time with my daughter and my mother. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day…
…to my sister. I hope to be half as great a mom as she is…


…and to my mama, who is also an incredible grandmother…

…to T’s other awesome grandmother…

…and to my lovely client mamas…

Thank you all for showing me the countless reasons it’s so unbelievably wonderful to play this role! ♥
It’s been an amazing almost 10 weeks being a mother to Talia…
(Belly at 37 weeks and T at 1 week… I’d wanted to take these shots since I saw Baby as Art‘s beautiful photos of the singer Pink in People Magazine last year.)

And with my little T more grown up:

Our little Talia is 6 weeks old today (at 9:51pm, actually), and I still can’t believe it’s possible to love her more and more every day…

Best anniversary I could dream of… Bringing our daughter to the spot where we were married three years ago. ♥

How has it been four weeks already since our little (although it feels like she’s not so little these days) T came into the world?
