Our sweet girl turned 9 months old on December 5th. We tried to do something more formal for pictures, but she doesn't sit still very long, so this is what we got. Airawen is very expressive and talkative. She also quite dramatic and has become kind of a mama's girl. If I put her down she will sometimes throw herself prostrate on the floor, sobbing. I have asked her if she would like some sackcloth and ashes to go with all that weeping, but she just holds her arms up for me to pick her up.
Most of the time she is actually quite easy going and happy. My favorite time of day is when she wakes up in the morning. She will just start jabbering to herself in sweet little melodies. When I walk in to get her she is always waiting with a huge smile and starting bouncing up and down. She has learning to pull up to standing in her crib and it is still kind of a shock to see my little baby standing up.
Tomorrow begins my last week at Covenant Seminary as their Audio/Visual Producer. It is a sad and exciting time. I will miss my amazing staff and all the wonderful learning experience that I get there, but I also am overjoyed to be coming home to raise my baby and become a full time photographer. Beautiful Mess Photography is starting off 2009 hopeful and with great certainty that this is what God is calling me to do as a wife, mom and artist.
Pass on the word to anyone you know who is getting married or needs baby/family/senior pictures. I would love to tell your story in the Beautiful Mess style, so don't hesitate to check us out!
Hope you all had a wonderful New Year!
