Outtakes.. the unglamorous side...
As my first Mother's Day approaches (yay!), I reflect on ALL that being a mother is... not only the cute, smiley, fun stuff.. but the yucky, hard, tiring part too. Nope, it's not a glamorous job, but like I've said before, I've never done anything nearly as rewarding as being a mother. Even those nights when I was so tired and cranky that I thought, this is it, I can't take it anymore... the page would turn, the sun would rise, and a fresh new day and chapter would begin.
Nothing will ever make my heart melt more than seeing HG so happy and healthy. I love the way she looks at me lovingly when I change her diaper or greet her in the morning... there are no words to describe how I feel when that toothless grin shines bright in my direction.
But, realizing it's not all smiles and happy moments, I should probably document that here as well. Here are what we call "outtakes".. also known as the pictures you don't usually show-off, but we fondly remember all memories with our HG! :) It takes at least 10 pictures for every 1 that's perfect... here's what those "other pictures" look like....

| Day 2 of life.. very mad during newborn pics. |
 |
| Who knew a manicure could be so horrible!?! |
 |
| Crazy eyes! |
 |
| Not the pouty lip! |
 |
| This is what we call a "blow out" |
 |
| Yuck! |
 |
| "Um.. hello?!?! I can't sit up yet!!" |

| Up to something mischievous for sure! |

On a Roll!
Play time is increasing as HG gets more coordinated and curious. Here she is practicing the sitting up position in her bumbo chair with her first baby doll, which she snuggles with frequently (and chews/drools on it too)!
Here she is doing some tummy time and holding her head up high! She is actually on mommy's nursery blanket from 26 years ago! :)
Just what was she building strength for?
Well, at ten and a half weeks, Hannah Grace rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time! Mommy was putting away laundry in the next room, and found HG on her back instead of her tummy where she'd been placed initially! It was an exciting achievement, and while mommy was lucky enough to catch the next roll on camera, it won't upload here. (Figures!)
