5 weeks

June 30, 2010 Personal

My baby boy is somehow already 5 weeks old and I swear every time I pick him up in the morning he's grown another inch. He just started smiling (his daddy got the first gummy grin) and he's melting our hearts on a daily basis. :)

Isla

June 15, 2010 Portraits

Sweet little Isla was born on May 25th and has the most amazing hair I've ever seen! Isla and my son were born just 1-day apart and live only 1 block away from each other, so I'm sure they'll be buddies and creating mischief together in no time...with Isla's older sister Addison leading the way of course. :) It was so much fun doing Isla's first photo shoot and I just can't wait to watch her grow!

Thank you Elizabeth & DJ for having me to document your beautiful family once again! :)

It's been merely 2 weeks and although it's felt like maybe a few days, it's funny that I can only vaguely remember our life without him. I am frantically trying to get time to slow down but every day seems to fly by faster than the previous and he seems to grow and change every time I turn around. (It probably doesn't help that I never know what day it is!)

Stay little just a little longer Alexander so that I can kiss your sweet toes and tuck you under my chin for, well, until I'm ready for you to grow. Two weeks ago when you were put on my chest and you looked peacefully into my eyes, I knew that your Dad and I would never be the same. I will never forget that feeling. I will never forget the joy in my heart and the love that poured out as I held you for the first time. You have changed us forever little Alex. We love you to the moon and back.
