You Can Call Me The Memory Keepin' Mama

Its obvious that, being a mom, you're going to take a lot of photos. You know...sleeping, eating, potty-ing, and of course the real sweet stuff too. Lately I realized that I carry my camera around more than I do my purse -- or even my cell phone for that matter. And that's saying something.

Lately, that big soft spot I have, has seemed to have grown. We've been moving things around this past week, and I've come across pieces of her little bassenett. The softness, gosh -- how small it is. It fits in a box?! Yep, she used to be that small. It just blows my mind that this growing a kid business happens so quickly. You'll never get yesterday back, never be able to get back that time. Pictures, video, and your dear-old memory is all you got.
Its just what i do. And in all honesty? I think I have more toddler photos an I do baby photos. But I have a lot of baby photos too. Like two whole SD cards. That now huge soft spot I that have (that's also making me want another little one around) is just yelling at me to snap these memories up forever. It doesn't matter to me if we're walking to the park, at an amusement park, or just sitting in our backyard, those are memories. And camera in hand, ill bottle those memories up. Happy times (Well, I've captured some pretty "sad" times too). I want to look back on these photos and see a story.

This age? Two... is unbelievably amazing. The learning, growing, talking, the imaginations -- oh my the imagining, the little mini-humans that they are. So tiny, but still...big. Almost full grown kids. Little kidlets, for lack of a better word. Mind blowing. Yes, the two's are quite a leap from One. But it is just so much fun.

Sadly, I'm waaayyy overdue to get some printed. Its on my to-do-list. Trust me.

So, you can call me The Memory Keepin' Mama. Its what I do. I mom, I photographer, I write, I remember. I love. Above all, I love. I love this kiddo, I love her amazing daddy, I love this life.

I'll leave you with that.
