I just realized something sad! The concept of a Kodak moment is about to disappear. Soon everyone will be saying Instagram moment and only us oldies will remember what a Kodak moment is. Sigh.

I am in a phase now where there are a lot of these moments. I sometimes worry that my son will think my mobile is what he should call mommy. His awake time (when he is happy) is still short and when he is a awake I often find myself holding my mobile in front of him taking pictures while goo-ing and gaa-ing behind it trying to catch his cute smiles.

Mommy?

I guess all parents find themselves behind their phone and camera a lot trying to catch photos of those brief moments when your kid smiles or when your kid tries their skis for the first time. You should really be living in the moment and enjoying things on the fly because you often miss something while trying to get the camera settings just right. Yet, you want to be able to treasure those moments later as well. It is a constant thug between being there now or being able to look back at those moments. You might be able to wait until they are a sleep to Instagram those photos but that moment only happens once.

So I will probably keep asking myself if my sons smiles are worth less seen through the mobile but I am pretty sure I will be happy that I did this when I am old and (more) wrinkled. Then I will probably only get to enjoy brief visits from my son where he spends most of his time staring at his mobile instead of talking to me. I hope at least the goo-ing and gaa-ing will give him a positive brand loyalty to HTC 🙂 .

I worried for a while that I wouldn’t have time to make my little baby any baby clothes since things have been very hetic. I however managed to squeeze in time to make this romper and since he will grow out of it pretty quickly I decided it was smart to spend some of his awake happy time behind the camera.

The pattern is Fawn from Ottobre 6/2014. The fabric is one I fell flat for from Nosh bought at Olivia and the grey jersey fabric is from the same place.
