Baby Legs Turned Toddler Legs
My baby isn’t a baby anymore. She’s a 19 month old toddler who is turning more and more into a big girl every day.
One of my favorite things to do lately is to turn my screensaver on and just watch my computer pull photos from my files for me to look at. Is that the 2011 version of a photo album? It is at my house. My kids will sit with me and we will all comment about who is in each photo, what that person was doing. It’s been great fun and really shown to me the importance of photo albums. Which is something I need to rededicate myself to for 2012.
Here is one of my favorite things about photos, and I’m sure yours too: You can look back and see the details of that growth from baby to toddler, toddler to big kid, big kid to teenager, etc. You get my point.
This photo is from September 2010 and she was just a little 4 month old baby.
Now she’s rapidly growing up and using tools like chairs to get what she wants.
So the MomShots Tip of the Day is to take a minute and compare those little bodies to how they looked a year ago, two years ago, five years ago or more. Take a minute to enjoy who they were and who they are now. Give them a hug and tell them that you love them. Saver that moment in time.
Another thing I have been thinking about… Camera Straps. Will you please leave a comment and tell me about yours and why you like it? Seriously. I will love you forever.

Let me know what people say about the camera straps. I like the nice colorful ones with a pocket to hold your lens cap, but I don’t remember where I saw them!! I would love one of those!!

love the comparisons. i know sometimes when i start looking at pics of my kids time just disappears. it goes so fast!
as far as camera straps. i hate mine. it is the standard that came with my camera. i saw a post you made a long time ago about how to make your own, and i have been meaning to do so since then, but have not got around to it. currently my camera is getting a lot of use, and my neck is killing me from carrying it around with this horrible (now slightly broken) strap i have. when i get home i definitely making a new one!
