17 precious moments to capture in baby’s first 6 months

When it comes to parenting, they say the days are long but the years are short. And that’s never more true than in baby’s early life, when each day is the equivalent of 47 years, each month zips past in a millisecond, and it’s impossible to find two minutes for a shower.

Those first 6 months are so precious, though, filled with fleeting moments often lost in the blur of everyday life.

When I think back to my son’s first 6 months, I remember juggling work and family, scrambling to put food on the table, the challenges of getting my child to sleep, and feeling inadequate. But when I actually look at the photos I took during that time, the images tell a different story. I see accomplishments, giggles and laughter, moments of deep beauty and grace, heart-shattering happiness.

That’s why I say a camera is one of the most important items in a new parent’s toolkit. Because these are the things you’ll value later — the tiny shards and slivers that, pieced together, create the spectacular mosaic of life.

Here are some of the unsung moments to celebrate from baby’s first 6 months:

My friends had even more precious firsts to share from those early months, including napping with mama and experiencing snow for the first time. Yes, the days are long and the years are short, but the early moments are worth cherishing forever.
