They say a baby is just a baby: they eat, poop and sleep. I think this little one was showing off a bit. Not only was she sporting the perfect amount of chunk; at 5 weeks she smiled, gave me smoldering eyes, and even a sleepy hug. This little one had so many great moments for me to capture.
The smile,
A bit of the smoldering eye,
and the sleepy hug.
I love the squishy face. Babies make the funniest faces when kissed.
I love this family. It is so nice that they are no longer just two. Now they’ve got this little guy to cuddle and love. He was a long time coming. He may have been a month early but having mom on bedrest and in the hospital makes folks a bit impatient.
I arrived and, of course, he was tired. What newborn isn’t? He didn’t want to be moved about and he sure didn’t care that I was there trying to take his picture. Babies. They think they’re running the show. Probably because they are. We got past the usual newborn grumpiness and he showed us his cuteness from every angle.
I chose this beautiful blanket from their stack of Indian blankets. It made for a very nice background.
Little and big toes. Mom had a hard time not touching those little piggies.
I thought I wanted dad’s hand to show off this tiny hand. But I love how he is just brushing across mom’s arm. Perfect.
This one is my favorite. So relaxed and so beautiful.
There is an dad and baby shot that I love, but I’ll see what dad has to say about it. There may be a second instalment…
a very active baby boy. This is just a small taste. While editing these images I couldn’t believe all the different expressions this little one gave me. He was going from content to crying pretty often… until we turned on the heater. He loved the heater.
Ok, so he never did sleep. He did blink his eyes, though. I would say it’s pretty rare, if not difficult, to catch a perfect blink.
Never change a newborn.
This is just a taste of the range of emotions this guy gave us.
Can you believe today was our first snow? We had to catch it before it melted.
Last time we met, Angela was just about ready to deliver. Hard to believe with that smooth belly of hers.
Look what this little family has now!
Look at those blue eyes. It looks like they might stay that way…
… and lavender and probably any other color too.
