Franken-baby

When I say “don’t jump on the bed, you will hurt yourselves and crack your head open” I know that the possibility of this occurring is rare.  But a few nights ago it really happened.  Clay and the big kids were playing around and he managed to jump off of the bed and whack his head hard enough to warrant 7 stitches.  7 stitches in a baby head is a lot of stitches.

Meet Franken-baby.

The Christiansen Family

How cute is this family?  How awesome is this mom for calling me because she wants to have a family session done before her daughter’s front teeth fall out?  I think pretty awesome because it is something that I would totally do.  We spent a great afternoon at the river throwing rocks in the water and laughing a lot.  This dad is hands-down the best rock skipper I have ever seen.  Who else can skip a rock 8+ times in a row?  Amazing.

Jacqueline Margaret

My best friend in the entire world just had her third baby girl.  Jacqueline is one of the most gorgeous newborns I have ever seen.  She has these petite little features and gorgeous coloring and perfect baby skin.  I loved spending time with a newborn again.  It didn’t make me want another one though!  She is such a good baby.  I have never really had the pleasure of having to wake a newborn to eat before.  This girl loves to sleep.  Lucky mom and dad. I had such a great time in Ohio.  The people of the midwest are truly the nicest people around.  I just wished that we lived closer.  Hopefully one day soon.  I love you k+j!

Where I’ve been.

I have been quiet the last few days.  I went to see my best friend in the whole entire world.  She lives in Cleveland.  She happens to have the cutest newborn on the planet.  (Next to my newborns of course.)  But I am tired.  And I am jet lagged.  And I promise to show her gorgeous little face to you tomorrow.  In the meantime I am posting a very rare picture of myself on this here ol’ blog.

P.S.  How unfair is it that she looks this beautiful 9 days after giving birth???  I still love her despite this.

Matthew 8 months

Hello Boyfriend.  Happy 8 month birthday my not-so-little love bug.  I am going to be so sad when you turn one and your mom doesn’t bring you to see me every month.  Can we still go on our lunch dates?

In all seriousness.  I love this baby.  I love this family.  I am so lucky that I get to see this gorgeous child grow up.
