Mirah & the Blue Chair

"They grow up so fast!" is one of the most frequent comments that I hear as a new parent of a new baby, which makes me think, "If it means she'll sleep through the night, that's not a problem." But it's true. Here's La Beba at one week...

...and at three weeks...

...we're talking exponential growth here, people. In the back of my mind was a photo project I saw on the blog Young House Love, where the blogging couple takes weekly pictures of their daughter with colorful fabric backdrops. The result is beautiful! I wanted to do something similar, but make it my own (and less complicated) so Mirah's growth could be commemorated.

Then, I spotted a lonely old wooden high chair sitting neglected in the corner of our dining room. And it hit me. I put a few coats of paint on it, and ta da! 

And I snapped her one month picture in her room. 

I went for the white wall/wrinkled sheet backdrop this time around, but the chair is something that can be put in different settings or with different back drops. It will be fun to see Mirah grow in comparison to the chair. What a momentous occasion it will be when she can sit up on her own in the chair!...yet bittersweet, because I won't get great action shots like these. Shout out to my lovely assistant, Mom. You have great reflexes!
