Kate ~ 9 Month Old Milestone Photographs | Glastonbury, CT

June 4, 2017

When my first daughter was 9-months-old, I sat her to play on the floor while I sorted through the clothes in her closet. So many things were now too small, and I needed to make room for new clothes since she was growing like a weed. That’s when I came upon a pink Yankees hat that had been a gift (for the record, I don’t follow sports) when she was a newborn. “Oh, let’s try this cap on and see how cute you are!” I said as I tried to wiggle it onto her head. But, it was already too small. . . and I broke down into a sobbing fit of tears. My baby was growing faster than I had realized and I wasn’t ready for it.

At 9-months she is growing beautifully and is the most peaceful and happy little girl. She loved playing with this straw hat.

She had a little runny nose and was just getting over pink-eye (again). But she never cried and simply stayed quiet or found little moments of joy to console herself, like this sweet moment with her Mom.

Then they can go back and remember all of the sweet moments and share them with Kate as well.

If your baby is growing up faster than you’d have ever imagined, contact me about getting them photographed along with your family. Not only will you always enjoy looking back at their sweet baby face, but they will love looking back at the love your family showed toward them.
