    Everyone makes a big deal out of “The First 100 Days” of a President’s term. Well, Isabel runs our house, kind of like the President runs the country, so this is equally important. RIGHT?!? A few days after we returned from the hospital, we downloaded an app that allowed us to track Isabel’s essential functions…

    Minus the first pic of one of the “interesting” folks I meet on my daily subway/train ride, the rest are a cool snapshot of the past three months. Sleeping babies are the BEST! (And easiest to photograph.) Watch the video after the jump!

    Photo by Monica @ Shoots and Giggles In photography, the hour around the first and last hour of daylight each day is the “golden hour”. The shadows are minimal and the colors are magical.

    The first month as a parent is amazing to say the least. Between the birth process, adjusting to your new life, learning about your child,  supporting your partner, and figuring out a new work/life balance, the first 30 days are pretty special and overwhelming. And time does “fly by”. The first two weeks go pretty…
