Coopers Newborn Pics

So when I was about 4 months pregnant, I did some trade work with my good friend Corey Allred. She is a talented photographer with an amazing eye (check her out at http://www.coreyallredphotography.com/ she took beautiful bridals of my best friend Mandie and her husband Brian). The bookkeeper for her business needed some training on Quickbooks software, and since I am such an expert on the program (pats self on back for being so awesome) I trained her and Corey offered to take newborn pictures of the baby-to-be in trade. When Cooper was about 10 days old he broke out in some MEAN baby acne that didn't clear up for several weeks. Therefore, Coopers "newborn" pictures were taken at 2 months old. Since Corey and I have been so busy and taking our summer vacations, we haven't been able to cross paths, so today we decided to make a lunch date and finally I got to see these pictures. Looking at them is a little bittersweet for me. They were taken 2 months ago- before his hair fell out, before I was getting any sleep, when he was barely leaning to smile, before he was laughing, before he let anyone but mommy hold him (ok- the little mommas boy still is struggling with that one). Where did time go? When did my newborn baby boy turn into a 4 month old (well- almost 4 months- but who's counting)? Not that I want to go back to sleepless nights, early mornings, being stuck at home and unable to shower daily, but I wonder if I am going to turn around and have a toddler and miss his baby breath and rocking him to sleep. Certainly time didn't go this fast when Kaleb was this little? Or did it? When did my first-born become a boy? And the most important question of the day- When did I grow up? Life is passing me by so quickly. I better start documenting these boys lives before they become parents themselves............. and me a grandparent (ahhhhhhh!). Stay tuned for more of my adventures in mommy-ville!
