Holland One Year || Logan, Utah Child Photograher
Well, I did it. I made it through the first year of my hardest baby. And I should say it's "bitter sweet" and "#staylittle" like all the other moms, but I'm practically over here jumping on my bed for joy because she has outgrown a lot of her little things that have made her difficult over her first year! Holland had colic and cried literally from the moment she was born til around 6 months. She had protein sensitivity and required expensive formula constant bouncing on an exercise ball to help calm her tummy. She was generally a pretty fussy baby for the first 10 months, and started slowly growing out of it around them. But by her first birthday a few weeks ago, so was a whole new baby! Holland is so much more spunky now - she's got sass (especially this last few weeks it's really showing), and she's generally more happy than not now. She's an all out walker these days. And she's even switched formula to a sensitive toddler one (even though she's getting mild eczema from it). She loves playing with her brothers.... and she especially loves her dada. She even practically ran to him when he got home the other day with her arms stretched towards him. Of course I never get that kind of reaction, but #momlife.
Holland's first birthday was unicorn themed, so of course I had to do a unicorn themed one year shoot!! I took the rocking horse my grandpa made for me and added a few unicorn details. Holland was a literal angel for this shoot (there's that new baby I was talking about). She was so sweet and happy, and it was so fun to be doing such a girly shoot for my little one!! (I have two older boys for those who don't know me well!!). Her birthday party, despite being postponed due to our whole family being sick for her birthday, was so fun. It was fun to celebrate for just a minute on her birthday because Holland and I share our birthday. I'm excited to celebrate together with her for the rest of our lives!
I love you so much, lil lady!! You are the girl I wanted so bad, and I'm so glad you are mine! You bring such a light and joy to our home each day. Love you, baby girl!!
