"PhotoMom" was one of my blogs from when Moonflower was a baby.
🌸Above is a screenshot from my first post on that blog (I've had so many sites).
🌸7 Things About Moonflower (I was using her real name back then; I've since gotten way more paranoid online)
🌸Never posted photos, then nor now.
🌸But alright, look at the cute random details I decided to record 🩷
🌸The only reason she started sleeping through the night was because she had to go to daycare at 5 months old, when I got a job.
🌸I remember the night before her first day of daycare I was a wreck of course.
🌸I remember the daycare teacher saying she will be overstimulated, as daycares are loud with lots of action going on.
🌸So that ended up being true. It's not that Moonflower would be tired after daycare,
like the other kids often were-it's that she started sleeping through the night so that's a win.
I remember, particularly as she got older/toddler years, other parents saying their kid falls asleep in the car after daycare and then stays sleep through the night.
I was like wow.
🌸And awe, as far as the youtube clip, Dennisha was so pretty and with great arms, loved her.
(I know flowers don't start as petals but "petal" is the cuter word than bud or seed)lol

April 2012:
10 things I want to say to my daughter
1)You’re currently 13 months old!
2)You’re not walking on your own yet, but you love to walk while holding our hands and holding onto furniture.
3)You love to push small boxes, chairs, and anything with wheels around the house.
4)We went to the Strawberry Festival this past weekend. When I took you out of the stroller you decided you wanted to push the stroller and you didn’t want me to pick you back up.
5)Your absolute most favorite food in the world is…..RED GRAPES!! You love love love them.
6)You like music, and you like to do baby dances. You also really like the final Jeopardy music and will stop what you’re doing to look at the TV.
7)When you get older, I know that you will like music from the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s, because that is your momma’s favorite music; so anytime I listen to it with kids in the family, they end up liking, no LOVING those old songs.
8)You are such a mini-me with all of your talking and feistyness. Lately you’ve been pointing your fingers, while standing in your crib and giving some very serious baby talk. I call you the professa (professor). Your dad calls you Preacher Moonflower when you do that. We’ve got to get this on video.
9) You like to take books and pretend you are reading! Seems like you will take after your dad in this regard and read lots of books on your own when you get older.
10)It’s been an amazing journey with you. May God continue to have mercy on us and allow us to all have a beautiful future together.

I made a photo baby book for Moonflower that spans pregnancy days up until her being a few months old.
This is my site, lol, but I'm still private regarding photos and private messages so this post will just cover some summaries
🌸Introduction page:
A special, brief message about how she and her cousins are gifts that God smiled making.
🌸Pregnancy photos page:
We never got around to an professional pregnancy photo shoot.
This section is some stomach photos of me and I wrote these messages next to the photos:
"3 months pregnant. You would let me eat only healthy foods. I craved all types of fruit and ice cold water. Yummy!"
(Of course I was being sarcastic about the "yummy" part. I was looking forward to craving other types of seasoned, fatty food or something lol)
6 months photo. I swear she knew when her dad came home from work
9 months pregnant:
"I've gained 35 pounds. I can't pick anything off the floor, I have to sleep with 6 pillows, I sometimes have to hold on to the wall or furniture when I walk,
and I feel like a whale though many people state how small I am."
🌸Next page: A Letter to My Unborn Child
-Written by dad
-"Even though I haven't held you yet, you have already changed our lives forever."
That's one sentence from this beautiful letter that Joe wrote and this is before we knew the gender.
🌸Next page: Your Very First Glamour Shots
I love my clever title here. This is where I posted her ultrasound photos! lol
📸It doesn't get much more "first photo" than that 😁
🌸Next page: You're Born...
Weighing 5 pounds and 9 ounces; 18.2 inches
7:54 am
(I was out, had a wild C-section ride. It was definitely very complex emotions that I didn't see her being born. Long story. But, we're good.
I had an offline pregnancy journal too)
🌸Next page: Welcome Little One
A photo of me holding her for the first time
A photo of dad holding her
And a photo of our hospital room door, #722. With the big pink "It's a Girl" ribbons.
I had always wanted those ribbons 🩷🩷
We got some 7's going on:
March 7th
7:54
Room 722
🌸Next page: One Day Old
Photos, including the "It's a Girl" with her ink footprint on a button.
I can post some of these photos later
🌸Next page: I'm Going Home
🌸Next page: Daddy's Little Girl
🌸Next page: I Hope You Dance
I have to look at the photo dates but she's probably about 6 weeks, and I put her in a newborn pink tutu that someone gave as a gift.
My God it was the cutest. I'll post photos
And, I opened up our bedroom blinds so some natural light could come in, put a pink headband on her, laid her on a white knitted blanket and then mama went to town taking some photographs that I wanted to be sure looked somewhat professional
