Because she's lovely

Just a quick couple..This is how happy my love wakes up every morning so yesterday I took her clothes off quick and got a blanket laid out so I could get some happy, nakey pictures.

She'll forgive me..

And a little more Selah Belle..

So sorry for the delay in postings but motherhood is alot more time consuming than I thought. For a tiny 10 pounder she sure takes up alot of time and energy.

Here is an update on the lovely Selah Belle:

She recently found her tongue and so she is playing with it all the time-which is adorable.

She wakes up smiling and happy-which is adorable.

About a week ago, I was rocking her in my living room chair and she busted out with 2 full on belly laughs in her sleep-which is adorable.

She reaches up to find her ear and grab it while she nurses-which is.....adorable

She has taken to 'up her back' diaper blow outs-which is NOT adorable..

Here is one quick while I get a few more ready..

Selah Belle

It's time for some more Selah updates! She's changing so much every day and I feel so blessed to be able to be able to watch her grow. She's started smiling at me lately and there is nothing more precious than seeing her face light up and her perfect little nose scrunch up when she's happy...or gassy. :)

Here are a few of her, some from when my mom came to visit this weekend. Enjoy..

She loves her Daddy..

Selah Smiles

Thank you all for your patience on my much delayed and sporadic blog posts. She is a busy (lovely & wonderful) little lady. Here is a couple of her sitting on my husbands lap watching a movie. This is still in the smiles=gas stage but adorable nonetheless.

For all of the customers interested in setting up photo sessions. I am now taking no more than 3 sessions per month beginning September 18th. Thank you for understanding as we adjust to the paradigm shift that is our new 'normal'. Life has never been more hectic but also never more gratifying and wonderful.

Selah Belle-2 weeks...Just a few

I have to start this by letting you all know that I am uploading these all while my little lady lays on a pillow on my lap checking the world out. She would have it no other way.. Her two week check up was A-OK and the little Love gained over a pound already! These photos were taken while at my mom's for a visit. As you can see, she is being held in every...single...one. My attempts at getting lovely sleeping belly shots were futile at best- I think she has a trigger in her brain that goes off when my Canon is within 3 feet. :) And so, some shots of the lovliest little lady to ever grace us with her presence..

One quick..Selah Belle and Daddy

I know I am a complete failure as a photographer in that I have yet to post any 'professional' images of my little Selah Belle. I have come to realize every day I have to prioritize. Sleep, Eat, Pictures? And since eating in necessary for milk production and sleeping is necessary for sanity upkeep, the photo opportunities have been scarce as of late. I am headed to Grandma's house this weekend (Maw maw's to be specific-any southerners will understand). I should have ample opportunity to catch up on sleep and let the creative juices flow. Not that this little one wouldn't shine in a potato sack.

Here is one image we got the day before we left the hospital. I have seen a new beautiful side of My Love that I never knew was there. He is such a gentle, loving, wonderful Daddy, as he is exactly that kind of husband and I know his heart jumps every time he looks at her.

Introducing....Selah Belle Hayes

She's here...I have never seen anything so breathtaking in my life. Of course there will be more shots of this beautiful creation but for now I had to rush and get one on for everyone to see. She was born August 2nd at 12:41am 7lb 9oz and 21 inches long. And every inch and ounce an amazing testimony to the love my Lord has for me. Here is a quick shot of her as we were leaving to go home from the hospital.....

By the way, its pronounced Saylah. :)
