This little girl is the sum of all my heart. She fills each and every crevice of me.
I am rewarded a hundred times a day for caring for her. In her smiles, her dimples that she gets from her daddy. As her small hands move over my face. I want to savor every moment with her. I want to imprint every part of her in my memory. I can't ever take too many pictures of her. Her teeth, her cheeks, her hands, her toes. All of it makes up my definition of perfection.
I am so completely in love with her. Whether she's practically jumping up and down because I've come to get her from her nap. Or she's crawling after me because I've gone into the bathroom (four feet from her). I can't ever get enough of her babble or her laugh. I know everything there is to know about her and she knows lots about me. We make a good team. We are good friends. We are the world to each other.
I wasn't prepared for the love. I was prepared for the dirty diapers and the sleepless nights, but not the love. Motherhood has brought me inexpressible joy. I didn't know what I was missing!
Happy Mother's Day (a little early!)
Just a slight disclaimer: Not all my posts will be this sentimental! Promise!

Motherhood has a magic all it's own. You express it so well. I've never been able to put it into words quite as well as you have. Children bring a magic with them that lights up the world of those lucky enough to have them.
Your daughter is so beautiful. It's easy to see why you would be in love with her. I can't wait to see her when we get into town (someday)
But will they be this beautiful? You are so talented...such an inspiration to me.
she is perfect! such a cutie - I'm glad you now know what was missing ;) motherhood is hard somedays - but oh so worth it!
Wow Sara! You're pictures are always great at telling a story, but you are also amazing at putting words and thoughts together! Happy '1st' Mother's Day!!
You need sentimental posts every now and then. And, you are a wonderful mom. Mara is lucky to have you.
She is gorgeous and I love your images! Thanks for sharing!!!
Can't wait to see her! How on earth did you get her to sleep outside? Max is impossible!
I love her little hands and how they are clasped in the last one. She is so darling!!
oh my goodness- your baby is BEAUTIFUL and i love everything about this shoot!! and i'm totally digging the dress- where from?!
Thanks you guys! Awe!
Amy - She put herself to sleep! I was walking around scouting one last spot for pictures since she was getting tired and when I turned around she was sleeping! (In the stroller of course). So I made the most of the situation :)
Jessica - I'm so flattered! I actually made her dress! It was for Easter!
Casey - Thanks! She posed herself. I was too scared to posed her - didn't want to wake her up. Too bad I hadn't taken the binky out yet. Which by the way mysteriously disappeared after these pictures were taken. Now we only have green ones left.
Hey Sara! This made me get so emotional. I love when moms love to be moms! It's so inspiring. Your description was so beautiful.
Beautiful post, the photos are stunningly gorgeous sara!
