Leo's First Portrait Session

For the last week I've been gazing into his eyes, snuggling and cuddling, feeling his soft baby breath and watching his eyes flicker as he dreams.

Having two other children has taught me babies don't stay this sweet and cuddly and docile forever. In fact, he'll be bigger tomorrow, and in a few days, I'll be back to running this household and being distracted with life.

So today, I took some photos. Because being one week old only happens once.


























I love this shot. It showcases the chubby cheeks so well.

my friend, kim (who has a 3 week old), was just saying how fast they grow and how every tuesday since he was born, she gets a little sad because she knows he's one week older and one week bigger, and she wants him to stay tiny forever.

Jacki these are wonderful photos. I love the naked baby poses - there is something about babies that says they have to be naked in a diaper to photograph or you sometimes miss out on their tini-ness. Congrats on your little squishy boy. Im so happy for you.

He's so adorable! And good for you enjoying his tiny newness :) My mom gave me a a card that says "Quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep." It's still hanging in the nursery.

Love the pictures. Congratulations!

Too cute! Good lookin' little fella and I agree just hold him and look at him and love on him as much as you can. They won't cuddle forever. Isn't there something different about a mother son bond? I'm so excited for you and your family. :)
