My Project 52 {week 1}

A newer trend these days is a 365 project - taking and sharing a photo that is significant to you everyday for an entire year. Well, I'm afraid of that type of commitment. So this year, I've opted to try a project 52 - 1 photo a week that means something to me and why.

For week 1, I've already kind of cheated. I didn't take this picture. I did, however, ask the hubby to take a pic of my boy and I on my birthday - and this photo was one of the candid results.

I absolutely adore this photo. Beside its wonderful display of my 30th birthday "flair" (I only wish the balloon, which read "Happy Birthday, Princess!" was visible), it is a perfect depiction of Grayson at this age. I can't tell you how many times a day this kid hugs me, usually coming up, laying his head on me and simply saying "Hiii" in his sweet little munchkin voice. At 20 months, the boy is super sweet on his mama. And while his clinginess can be a bit "annoying" in social situations, I certainly don't mind it - I'd spend all day cuddling with him if I could. 

How I wish I could bottle up some of these moments so that when he's a teenager, and we're having a big blowout fight, I can open it up and remind us both that there was a time when I was his #1...

PS - 3 hugs during the writing of this blog :)
