Miss Lily

Lily is the second child, and I admit that sometimes she gets forgotten. She is the one that never asks for anything, she is easy to please. And because of this she gets looked over easier and our attention goes to the most demanding of our kids. 

I am trying to make extra effort to show her that she is not forgotten and to show her that she is special. This week I am trying to put together a book for her.  Images of her as a baby, in a beautiful hard cover bound book.

Around the time when Lily was born digital cameras were starting to become affordable, so we made our big purchase, a $200 Cannon something. I didn't really know what I was doing, or what pixels meant....and now I am regretting making all the images as small as possible. But I was happy that I didn't have to develop film, so I didn't. 

Over the past 6 years, I have owned 5 computers and saved her digital pictures on each of them. Unfortunately all but 1 of those computers have crashed (thankfully I did back ups). So, now I am digging through the hundreds of backup disks to find pictures of miss Lily so she is not forgotten. 

She was the cutest baby, she really was. She was happy, slept through the night, and she was quiet. Which is funny if you know her now. She didn't talk one word until she was 3, and then 2 years of speech therapy later, she doesn't stop talking (just ask her teacher at school) and she is our loudest kid. 

I found these images and though they are horrible quality, I loved looking and remembering what a sweet and funny baby she was.
