One month pictures

For my birthday Jody bought me a new Canon EOS Rebel T2i DSLR camera.  Fancy way for saying that it's not just a point-and-click camera.  I've really enjoyed learning how to use it over the last few months.  It takes great quality pictures but there is a lot I still have left to learn.  Gemma has been a great test subject.  Recently we took her one month pictures.  Each month I'll take new pictures so we can see  how she grows over the course of her first year.

Here are a few of my favorites...

Admittedly these were taken from my phone using Instagram instead of my Canon.  I thought they were really cute, though.

It's hard to believe that this little girl is growing up so quickly.  It seems like we were just in the hospital yesterday.  Today marks 7 weeks since she came into the world.  Everyday I see her growing and changing.  Lately she has started to smile more and more and it absolutely melts my heart every time.  Gemma has been such a well-tempered baby, too.  She's been sleeping well and has been doing great on her daily schedule.  We are so blessed in so many ways with this little angel.  I wish she could stay little for a bit longer so we could enjoy these moments more, but watching her grow up and experience new things will be equally as fun.
