This is a perfect example of why we should have a camera at the ready for those sweet moments that we witness.  Even having a point and shoot would be better than nothing for times like this.  I always carry around my little Canon SD300 in my bag.  It’s small enough to keep in my pocket or the diaper bag.  Although I was lucky enough to have had my SLR at hand, I would’ve been happy with a picture taken with a cell phone rather than having no picture to look back at.  So today’s rule is, always carry a camera!  Don’t leave home without it.  Oh, and shoot lots and lots of pictures!

I love it that Sophie has friends her age to play with.  If you’re pregnant with your first child, go to your prenatal class reunion and keep in touch with your group.  It’s so wonderful having friends who are going through the same things you are at the same time.  And what’s cuter than seeing two babies sweet on each other?
