Anna

Throughout my days, I find myself trying to savor every single moment, every single cute little thing the girls do. I want to always remember what the girls look like at every age, what funny things they say and do, what they like to play with, and what makes them happy. Maybe that’s why I love photography so much? I guess I’m trying to freeze time, as time is what I see that is passing so very quickly.

I love this time in my life. My girls are so full of energy and life, so fun and funny, and so very loving. Anna is now 20 months, the age Cate was when Anna was born, it’s hard to believe. Anna is her very own little person. She is cuddly and loving. She is feisty and hard-headed. She has her own opinions and thoughts. Already, she has a great sense of humor and loves to giggle. She loves her big sister. She’s adventurous and has no fear. She loves to sing and dance. She’s a daddy’s girl.

Lately, she’ll ask you to pick her up, she’ll put her head down and then require that you sing “Twinkle Star”. She’ll talk on and on, jibber jabber mostly, then look at you and say, “Okay!” She loves listening to the birds outside. She loves to swing. She can count to 10. She loves drinking out of a big girl cup. She likes to "swim" in the tub. She's already very good at pretending. She likes doing all things “big girl”.

I guess I love these images, because they are so Anna; inquisitive, flirty and overall, happy. I love how she's holding her sippy, just the way she always does, in the first one. And I love how tiny her hand looks in the next...something I'll never forget. Although missing from these images are her super silly, giggly sides. Don't worry...they are coming soon!
