Happy Half Birthday Malia!

This post is coming a little bit late – I know, bad mommy! But with business travel and post-travel baby bonding, I just didn’t get the chance to properly wish my Malia a happy 6 month birthday.

So here it is…

I hope I’ve given you as much joy as you have given me. I remember when you hit three months old, how nostalgic I was that you were growing out of your newborn clothes. But then you coo’ed at me and I thought you were absolutely brilliant. Now at 6 months, you’re finally inching your way into your 6 month clothes (you little peanut!), and again, I’m a little nostalgic at how fast time flies. But then you roll over onto your belly, get on all fours, look over at me and laugh at your insane talent….at 5 in the morning.

I love this little honu of mine.

Of course, I had to commemorate the occassion with a little mini-photo shoot. You’d think, as a photographer, I’d have more photos of my little one. But at the end of the day, I’d rather have my face in her hands than plastered to the back of my camera……and she’s a little afraid of the lenses. I think she knows that photo time is not necessarily play time for her.

So here’s Malia at 6 months, in her “I Ain’t No Holla Back Girl” shoot. 🙂
