Newborn pictures

This was my first try at getting those cute black and white photos of a newborn. I was not super successful but I am still trying!

My sweet Abigail

Today we went to a cute children's clothing boutique. Abigail has very strong opinions of what she likes and dislikes so I knew if I brought her she would pick something out and love it! Sure enough she picked out what she calls a "princess dress". It twirls and everything! Plus, she accessorized with a green headband. Right after we got home she quickly changed, put the dress on and went out to smell the roses. As soon as I saw what she was doing I quickly ran and got my camera.

Sweet little Jacob

So Jacob is now 7 days old! He is so sweet! When they come this sweet your love for them grows like a wildflower! I keep thinking to myself "What an amazing miracle to have 4 children".

The nights have been fairly easy so far. Jacob wakes up at 11 pm and 4 am. I keep thinking it will change but so far so good!

He gently wakes up and doesn't even really cry, he just makes noises and then I know he is ready for his bottle.

He eats really well for being so small. He burps and then settles himself into a nice relaxing state where he flutters his eyes and gives smiles and drifts off to a peaceful sleep.

I have been having so much fun taking pictures of him. Yesterday I wanted to take some naked newborn pictures so I told Abigail and she replied, "I want to get naked too"! After I said, "no" she was so sad so I quickly relented and said ok , you just have to keep your underwear on. She was thrilled! I got some cute pictures!
