you capture {motherhood}

At the risk of overdoing this whole motherhood theme I've had going for a couple of days now, I'm continuing  on for yet another day.  After all, mothers deserve more than just one day, right?  And this week's theme at You Capture is motherhood, so here are a few of my captures from the last week.

I don't get the opportunity to photograph other mothers often, but I feel like every picture I take of my girl and her daily activities is a celebration of motherhood.  Only as a mother have I begun to see eating a snack or taking a nap as moments to be treasured, captured, and not forgotten.

And what says motherhood more than a growing belly?  I will be 25 weeks tomorrow.  What!?  Did you forget I was even pregnant?  Don't worry, sometimes I forget too.  Second child syndrome has begun early in our household.  I have far fewer moments than I did with Laci to just sit and soak in the pregnancy glow while baby girl kicks around inside me.  When I do get those few precious moments, though, they are that much sweeter.

I must improve on my self-portrait skills...I think I'll make that a goal.  And in my announcing it as a goal here on this public blog, I'm almost guaranteed to do nothing about achieving it.  As you can see, my assistant is of absolutely no help either.
