January has been a month of waiting. Waiting for our baby girl to arrive. I wasn’t sure whether or not she would arrive in time to take our family portraits for the month, so on the 27th we decided to cut our losses and head to the Common for some quick snaps. It was mighty chilly, but after a short while the sun made an appearance, so we hastily set up the tripod and took some photos. Afterwards Rosalie had a lovely time stomping around pretending to be on a bear hunt, and treading in every frozen puddle she could find.
