"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2013"

Juno: She talks with her eyebrows. So much expression for such a small being. 

We are halfway through this year already. What an amazing year. Juno has made our life more enjoyable and rewarding than we could have ever imagined. I love this project as we can look back on the weeks and see how much she is growing into her personality. She is going to be an incredible woman!

Juno: She loves to be outside. She watches the leaves in the trees and laughs at the dogs as they chase each other.

I wish there was some exciting reason why I'm behind in my Project 52 photos, but there isn't. My motivation has been lacking. Having a grey moment... it's passing though.

Juno: She is developing the best personality. SO cheeky and inquisitive. Photo courtesy of Karl, we had to have the token birthday portrait. Yes I turned 30 and yes I'm quite okay.

Juno: Our blue eyed girl.. so close to doing it all by herself. 

I had so many photos to choose from this week. I went with this one because i'm sure all parents have one like this. Karl: "I'll sit her up and then I'll move my hands quickly. Are you ready?...."

The big three zero.

I'm 30 tomorrow.
I've cried twice today.

Believe it or not the aforementioned are not related.

I'm a birthday person. I LOVE my birthday and I love other people's birthdays. I love being made a fuss of and I like to do special things for my lovelies on their birthdays.

BUT this year it's different. I haven't counted the days till my birthday. I didn't get (too) upset when I found out my present had been delivered while I was out, so won't be graced with it's beauty until Tuesday. And quite frankly the big three zero is really not igniting excitement or fear.

Maybe it's because it has snuck up on me. Maybe i'm hiding my anxiousness about turning 30 deep down inside..... or maybe I've finally matured (yeah right).

I think the real reason is because since birthing my adorable little Juno my perspective on life has changed. I didn't believe them when they told me motherhood was a selfless job, but now i'm starting to see it.

I cried this morning as I rocked my sick baby to sleep in the rocking chair.
I cried again just now as I watched her sleeping in her cot.

She is the most amazing, breath taking thing that has ever happened to us and we are thankful everyday.

Juno - This is how we find our happy girl after most of her sleeps.

This week I enjoyed the portrait of Lily on a swing, the little bebe at the window, Logan's DIY binoculars and Lamb's noise makers.
