Not only is today the first day of the month, but it's the first day of my month long photo project. I've been inspired by Jen and her fabulous foto february project {which was inspired by another amazing photographer, Kristin}. I'm going to post a photo {or two or five...} of my life everyday for the next 31 days. Why? Because I want to remember the everyday moments. They will only happen this way exactly once. That is a lesson I learned when my first son was 5 weeks old. I was stressed, beyond exhausted and more than a little overwhelmed. Quinn had arrived a few weeks early and was taking a little longer to adjust to the world so he was very fussy. {I think some people call it colic.} My patience was wearing thin in my over-tired haze when I stumbled across a photo of a celebrity's child {I think it was Violet Affleck} and couldn't believe how big she looked. Suddenly it hit me that my tiny 5 week old baby would be 3 years old in the blink of an eye! At that very moment I made a conscious choice to stop, slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy every moment of my son's 5th week of life {crying and all} as he would never again be this teeny tiny. And was I ever right! He is now 2 and a half years old and our new baby Tate is already turning 7 weeks old tomorrow. Where the heck did all that time go??? It is easy to get caught up in our busy, over-scheduled, hectic and crazy lives. Just remember that it is good for the soul to stop and be thankful for the moment ~ especially the everyday moments. So, this month I am ready to freeze time with my camera. I can't wait! This month of photos will be a gift to my boys, to my husband and to me... Our family in photos, March 2010.

Jen:
Yeah! Great first image! Isn't it true about things flying by too quickly?! My little guy is now FIVE MONTHS OLD! It is crazy. Can't wait to follow your month of photos! Good luck and enjoy!

Could he be any cuter? I don't think so!

My 2 year old is CRAZY about The Wiggles and their song "The Shimmie Shake". He watches the DVD of them singing and dancing to this song over and over and over again! I even have this downloaded onto my iPhone so he can have his fix when we are away from home. Q is starting to *sing* the words and even has the head shake down too. He now has a toy guitar and some drum sticks {thanks to papa who made them for him} which he uses to play along with the music. I captured a few moments of him enjoying his first favorite song...
