" A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013. "

36/52

Sofia: Looking over at my Polaroid camera longingly, you beamed with joy when I let you push the shutter button over and over.  You didn't even care that film wasn't popping out anymore, the simple joy of the flash firing was enough for you.  We spent the next twenty or so minutes taking pictures of each other and practicing our best "say cheese!" PS- every time I hear the phrase, "say cheese!" I can't help but think of this and laugh.

Alba: Sweet, newly-turned four month old.  I can't get over how much you're changing daily.  It has been so exciting to see bits of your sister, bits of me, bits of Papa shine through.  It's like a surprise daily to see what's in store for us next. You've been drooling like a water faucet and everyone thinks it's pretty darn hilarious - I'm wondering if this is the precursor to some brand new baby teeth?

PS- thanks to all of you on your super sweet encouragement and heartfelt comments on yesterday's post. I was in no way expecting that sort of support, my heart is full to the brim. I feel so much better just letting it all out sometimes, no matter how raw and un-pretty it is. When I feel that when I can write with honesty from a place that is close to my heart, everything is going to be okay. Hope you're all ready to start enjoying your weekends - I know I am!

    What precious faces. I love how children find enjoyment in the things we so often take for granted. You've captured that joy so well :)

bump : week 22

I've said it before, but if I could pack up and move my entire family straight into the By The Barkers studio space, I would. Absolute heaven! As for our little one, he or she has been giving me strong, swift kicks - especially around bed time.  Waves and ripples dance across my belly as I lay in bed waiting, watching.  I'll admit, it's been difficult for Erick and I since we've decided to keep things a surprise as far as the gender.  We were both so used to the feeling of knowing with Sofia that it's made this pregnancy a completely unique experience.  My intuition keeps swaying back and forth wondering if this little one is a boy or girl, and judging by the way that I look, feel and eat, my best guess is that we have another little lady on the way. (Though, if you ask Sofia, she's already told us she thinks baby is a "bruh-der")  !!! Mamas out there, was your intuition right? Any tell-tale signs or...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible.  I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa.  Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit.  I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure.   Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ?  It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
