life of charmings

photos by baby!

[my fav view on the prettiest afternoon! okay, this photo not by baby ;)]

raising a baby lady in this crazy technological age, i’ve now become quiiite accustomed to finding collections of about 89 lovely photos on my iphone taken of the ground or the ceiling or the top madd’s head… and lately i’m constantly trying to keep her from sharing photos with who knows who featuring me in unflattering circumstances… i mean, there’s a new challenge for moms today, right! haha. buuut really.

anyway, snapping photos is obviously a big part of our lives, though, and maddalena has gotten pret-ty serious about practicing her craft. she runs around taking pretend photos with a little camera or grabs the iphone and pushes that photo button 1 million trillion times. so last week, after a beautiful afternoon visit with casey, i went to delete what i assumed would be a fabulous collection of blurry sky and grass photos, and my heart melted a little when i saw that baby girl actually captured me in my natural habitat pretty darn sweetly for a 20 month old!

[i mean, you have to appreciate her artistic decision to go square-mode there at the end!]

oh, madd! these just make me smile so so much. for as crazy as i am about my horse, my baby, blue skies and grassy fields, it’s not even what these photos look like as much as how she preserved such a happy afternoon memory all on her own.

thank you for these little surprises, mia girl! being your mama is the best best best.

*ps. i was totally on the hunt for four leaf clovers there in squat posish!

    I love this! I gave Letty my old digital camera and she just has the best time! I love seeing what catches their eye and I mean their position so close to the ground. Amazing stuff really.
