Little moments

Sometimes I wish I had a camera in my eye or something that I could just record whatever I see. There are so many moments with a baby - facial expressions, sounds, cuteness in general - that I want to capture and remember forever. But by the time you have the camera fired up, the moment has usually passed. It's hard to capture the best stuff with a point and shoot, especially now that movement has commenced in earnest!

Play time with her hair in a Pebbles 'do. That little smile...

Bath time. Avery loves to splash in the water. I love her round naked tum-tum and bum-bum :) And bundling her up in her duck towel afterward, even though she pees on me half the time. I wrap her up in a little ball and say, I got the bay-beee! Cleeeean bay-beee!

Peeking.

I wish there was some way of capturing the essence of a moment. Sometimes it's not just an image, but an emotion, a smell, the warmth of her little body snuggled up next to me, or when she looks up at me from her perch in the Ergo. This is the good stuff. I wish I could bottle it for later on. I know I won't remember all those little moments - they are already melting into one big luscious blur of babyness.
