One of my best friends, Sarah, told me that when we first met, and subsequently became Facebook friends, she began to wonder if I was full of shit. She told me (once we were bffs) that when she first read my statuses and saw my pictures she questioned if I could really be so in love with my baby/motherhood and she also questioned if my baby could really be that happy all the time.
By the time she told me this story we had spent a ridiculous amount of time together so she had experienced me and monkey for herself. She realized that Hayden is generally a super happy, laid-back baby but does have meltdowns when tired/hungry. She also realized that I am, in fact, crazy in love with my baby and motherhood (but not in an obnoxious frolick in a feild of daisys kind of way...otherwise Sarah totally wouldn't be friends with me.)
SO to prove that Miss Monkey is captured in less than perfect moments, I present you with the following:
I'm the same way - I try to post pics of my little one looking adorable...but they kind of look cute when they're upset too. In my house, it will be very difficult to find a picture of Jenna with a pacifier - I hate pacifier (even though she uses it) and refuse to take pictures with it in her mouth! When she's older it'll be like she never used one - no proof!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I used to get compliments like that on my son... then he turned 3 and every bitter mom who resented the ease of his one's and two's got their wish. He's still an amazing, adorable, hilarious kid - but now he's got attitude, too. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope that Hayden continues to have a sunny disposition!! (And no jealous moms hex you! haha)
Haha, I love these kind of photos!! Great post :)
