Life as a New Mom: I Have to Show Off MY Bama Baby

We're looking for the cutest Bama Babies this football season to win some awesome prizes in addition to serious bragging rights. Lucky for y'all: my daughter's ineligible because I am a station employee. That doesn't mean I can't share pics of my Bama Baby, so brace yourself. Can your web browser handle this much CUTE?

Let me preface this by saying Dolly's been a Bama fan since Day One. She waited until last year's season opener against Michigan was over before deciding to make her entrance into the world. I could have gone into labor during the game, but that's not how she rolls.

This is Dolly's first Bama game. It was taken September 8, the day of the Western Kentucky (Go Hilltoppers! Sorry--had to throw a shout out to my Alma Mater) game. Dolores was just shy of one week old. She looks so cute in her Bama onesie I can't stand it. The onesie and the stuffed Big Al were presents from my PawPaw, who taught me everything I know about football.

Here's Dolly a few months later, pre-gaming with her dad in the kitchen. She's still sporting her Bama onesie, but it's a snug fit on my growing girl.

I'm fairly certain this pic could win the contest. I mean, COME ON. Dolly is wearing a hand-knitted cap made for her by her godmother (my BFF, Melissa) and a houndstooth pea coat I special-ordered from Belk. I can't get over how sweet she looks--my little Princess Houndstooth!

Y'all ready? I'm about to break out the BIG GUNS. We took a few Bama-themed pics this fall during our family portrait session with the super rad and waaaay talented David Smith of DSmithImages. David's an amazing photographer, and the photos below are some of my favorites--like, all time favorites.

And JUST BECAUSE, I'm throwing in one last picture that isn't Bama-themed. This is from our summer family portrait session with DSmithImages. It's so perfect that when I got the proofs back from David, I totally cried. I think it captures my family perfectly.

See what I mean? Amazing. I'll round things out with another favorite pic of my little Bama Baby. She's beautiful, and in case you can't tell, I am so proud to be her Momma.
