I finally brought my new 5x7 picture of Lyla to work to put in my frame on my desk. I couldn't get the back to go on and decided... its probably time to take the old pictures out. There were too many in there to get the back to close. Want to talk about a walk down memory lane???
I also decided that I need to get more frames because I have ZERO interest in replacing the picture from Erin's wedding. That is my favorite picture of Lyla.
Pictures bring back so many memories.
That first one of me holding her, she was 6 weeks old. Gary and I took her to get pictures. We spent a fortune on them.
Then the one of the three of us. She was 5 1/2 months old. We couldn't get her to sit up on her own for any of the pictures, so we tried to prop her up in the ones where she was by herself. Then of course the following week she starts sitting up on her own without any issues!
The one of her with the blue clip and blue ruffle shirt... that was her one year old picture. The only time we didn't buy the CD of all the pictures. I regret that, they were some of the cutest ones! I loved her hair then! All the curls and it was still short so it was just all kinds of crazy!
Then the plaid dress. That was her two year old picture. I took her to the playground and pretended to be a photographer and took them myself. We had so much fun just letting her run around and play. She was so happy they all came out really good!
The blue dress is when she was three years old. I played photographer again and took pictures on my own at my mom and dad's house. I always loved the way the light came in the window over her in that picture. And her HAIR.... she changed so much in looks and personality from two to three.
The black and gold dress she got as a Christmas present from Maria. We didn't go anywhere over Christmas that warranted wearing a fancy dress so on New Years Day we got up in the morning and took her to get pictures in her fancy dress. She was three and a half.
And then there was an epic fail at any good pictures to document her being four years old!
So I took her to get pictures for five years and that's the new one in the frame. Plus the other frame of her at Erin's wedding (3 years old). And yes, I cropped Erin out of that picture..... ;)
