9 Weeks

It was unseasonably warm and sunny today. Little Miss Anne must be going through a growth spurt as she was resting peacefully in her crib for much of it. She woke up in wonderful spirits, nursed and promptly overflowed her teeny size one diaper. After giving her a quick bath in the sink, we took these photos and got ready for the park. Light was streaming into the living room, so I scooped up the changing pad and carried her over to the window. She seemed amused by the ride and appeared to delight in being photographed.

I'm generally not a fan of naked photos but she was being so sweet and I wanted to capture the moment. Anne wore denim overalls and a colorful, striped hoodie to the park. It was very breezy and her hair was blowing about. We chatted with the neighborhood families and she garnered many admiring smiles. When we returned from the home, the whole house was bathed in warm light. She slipped easily into her car seat and we drove up to Deerfield for a lovely dinner with the family. It was a most perfect day.
