Don’t do it or you might miss something. That first year of parenting flies by so quickly, and it seems as though you are in a constant game of tug-o-war — so excited for each new step, but desperately clinging to and savoring every bit of babyhood.
I feel so blessed and honored to have taken part in that oh, so important first year for little Rhiannon. What a joy it’s been to watch her grow into the sweet little girl she is becoming. Her mom came up with this darling idea to incorporate mom and dad’s hands in each session and I absolutely loved it. What a beautiful way to showcase each milestone!

This was her mama’s coat and bonnet–LOVE!

Just gonna let the cuteness speak for itself:).
