Baby pictures:

I think I'll remember ever detail. But I don't. When I hold my sweet baby #3 against my chest, I close my eyes and try to remember this exact moment with baby #1 and baby #2. The memories are muddled, but they are there. They grew and one stage replaced another until I now have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. How did those moments fly by so fast?

Photo assignment:

You would think I, of all people, take plenty of pictures of my kids. Not true. I have to remind myself often to snap a picture. These moments pass too quickly. Remi is almost 3 months old! I can hardly believe it. So, take more pictures of your precious children. Put your baby/child in front of a window and get up close. Play around with the settings on your camera, try different posses, take 100+ pictures. You'll be glad you did. You would never know from these close ups of Remington that there were piles of laundry on the floor, there was play-doh stuck in my garlic press, and the kitchen was a mess. Some things are more important.
