Caitlyn tested out her new Nature Sway sling and helped mommy with a quick trip to the market today. Clearly this sling is kid approved! :)

Miss Caitlyn Ann turned 9 weeks old on Sunday (08 March) and celebrated by sleeping a full eight, yes, EIGHT full hours uninterrupted through the night! Ahhhhh Bliss..... actually I kinda freaked out. I woke up like clockwork at 4am for our regular 'dreamfeed' wondering what was wrong. After a quick peak at my babe and listening to her peaceful breathing I laid back down stunned...and then drifted off myself. Oh sweet sleep how I've missed you! Baby girl woke for a quick meal around 6:00 AM Sunday morning and then went straight back to  bed for nearly another two hours! Finally waking up refreshed and full of smiles and coos around 8:30 AM to the sound of her daddy making coffee... I have such an awesome kid. My heart is so full.

Thank you little miss! Let's make this a habit shall we? :)

What's that Caitlyn? You mean you're four weeks old today? No way... How the heck did that happen so fast?!!

A New Year // A New Project

Well, January is almost over. Man that went blazin' fast! With all the baby commotion and sleepless nights the past few weeks everything has just felt like one big blur of a day and somehow nearly a month of the new year has slipped away...  Before 2015 gets too far away from me and into full swing I wanted to make sure and get my New Year's project finally started!!

I've been anticipating for months finally getting to attempt a new photo project this year called The 52 Project, which I've enjoyed watching other bloggers participate in for the past couple of years. Now that I have a little one of my own I've been super eager to get in on it, especially knowing my baby girl would be a January arrival! I'm already a little behind, but I'm thinking that's ok considering I'm a new mamma who's still getting the hang of things. I've been taking photos for the past few weeks with this project in mind, but haven't had a chance to post any of them yet, so this first post is a little bit of catch up. 

I'm going to do my best to stay committed to this project for the entire year. I would really love to be able to look back at these images at the end of 2015 and just relish in all the sweet moments and memories created throughout the year, and of course watch the amazing progress my girl makes as she grows and develops throughout her first year of life. 

So without further ado, let's get this project started.... "A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2015."
