Wordless Wednesday AND Wordful Wednesday: First Captured Smile
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
This week I decided to combine both Wordless Wednesday and Wordful Wednesday because this photo was just too special not to tell about!
Since my daughter was born in January 2009, she has blessed me daily with quick, heartfelt smiles. And daily I have tried to capture them on camera. But as quickly as they appeared, they disappeared.
Until this past Monday when I caught one just before it disappeared.
I've been a mom for 17 years. Until January, I was a mom to only boys - three of them. And while I cherished their every smile, there is just something about seeing your daughter's face light up.
Maybe it's because I never expected to have a daughter. Maybe it's because a void has been filled. Maybe it's because she was a miracle baby.
Maybe it's simply because....she's my daughter.

She's beautiful! I have one boy, three girls. Haha. My first was the boy though. I love them all, and I know exactly what you mean about trying so hard to capture those first smiles on camera.
Oh, how I DO understand this! I have 2 boys, which has been a wonderful blessing! However, I yearn for a GIRL. Maybe God will ba gless me with girl next time???
What a great picture. She is sooo cute. WOW, she has lots of hair too. None of our five kids ever started out with that much hair.
she is so beautiful!!! and it is amazing how fast that first year slips away. take all the pics you can!
She is very beautiful and yes those smiles can be very hard to catch. Well done.
I remember stalking my kids when they were that little trying to get a smile on camera .. She is too cute!
So sweet - congratulations on finally catching that smile!
What a beautiful baby... I love it when that smile can finally be caught!
Yeah, those are the best. Their smiles always make you feel good.
Love those sweet cheeks!!
So precious! I am hoping this baby coming is a girl, since we already have a boy. :)
Awww, priceless. She is so cute and I love her hair! I have 3 boys myself. Sadly I will never get to experience having a girl.
What an absolute sweetheart, such a precious picture!
What a gorgeous little girl you have. I totally know what you mean about the smiles. I was armed with my camera 24/7 to cath my babies smiling. I loved it.
BTW, look at all of that hair! I had bald babies so I never experienced what that was like.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
What a blessing! I think mothers and daughters have a special relationship - just like daddy's and daughters. I'm not saying there isn't anything special about the sons - there is lots special about the sons - just something different about the daughters.
So cute!!
Beautiful baby girl!!!!
What a precious moment!
so sweet. I remember trying to catch those first fleeting smiles. Princess A was asleep the first time she smiled.
So special! To finally get it captured. What a cute little baby girl. Congratulations.
Your daughter is so cute, and such a sweet smile.
I am a sucker for crazy dark hair! She is an absolute doll!!!
What a beautiful picture!
Aww! I know how hard it is to capture that smile! I think it took us a couple of weeks!
My newest daughter was also a January baby - and I've tried and tried to catch a smile on camera too! What a cutie - and a great head of hair!
She's very sweet, and look at all that hair!
Aw, so sweet! :-) I know exactly what you mean, there is nothing like waking up in the morning to my daughter's smiles and squeals. :-) But after three boys (as wonderful as they are), it must be more precious. :-)
