Ty, Tessa, and Max

I found these images on my computer today of my adorable nieces and nephews that I had totally forgotten about! I couldn't help but share them.

This first one is SO them.
The baby brother, now 5 1/2 months old!

More of Claire

Rock on!

Heavy Weight

I hope she doesn't hate me some day for saying that :). After 3 days of trying to get this picture we finally succeeded. By the way, don't try and make her do something she doesn't want to do.

Happy Father's Day!

I know I'm a day late, but better late than never, right?? And a super special Happy Father's Day to the newest father in my family, here with his 7-day-old little monkey.

Claire Nicole

Is the name of this little beauty...







In the first picture she's only about an hour old and the rest she's 24 hours old. If you've called or emailed me without a response, this is the reason why. With labor starting on Thursday, but no baby until Saturday night (and only about 5 hours of sleep for me), plus a wedding 2 hours away (and barely making it back in time for the baby's birth), I've been a little distracted :).

She's the lovely product of my identical twin sister and her husband and I nearly cried when they told me her full name. Those are quite the cheeks, eh? 10 lbs 3 oz of adorable baby chub to love. She doesn't even fit into the newborn clothes we have for her :). I'm sitting here in the hospital on a tiny little love seat to sleep on and I'm so so glad to be here. Welcome little girl!! You are so loved.

Max, again

Somehow I forgot about this one, but just found it on my computer and I love it. I love that it shows how white his eyelashes are too. He's now 1 month 3 days old and I miss him!

Max at 14 days

He now smiles on demand.

Max at 13 days

Max at 12 days

With big brother Ty (who was a great sport, especially after being peed on. He was very concerned about being pooped on as well).

Max at 11 days

Max

Here are a few pictures of the little guy as soon as he came home from the hospital at 2 days old! He weighed in at about 5 lbs 12 oz. He was born on April 24, so now he's 10 days old! Can't wait to see him again.


Daddy with the new big sis while Max took a nursing break.

Baby Wes

This little guy is the youngest of 4 and looks just like his older siblings! He has the bluest eyes and is a good example of what happens when you're patient :). Eventually, ALL babies will fall asleep. Eventually...

Noah at 8 days

Photographing this little guy was fun...and messy! It's always something you just have to expect when working with naked babies.

Looks peaceful here, doesn't he? What you don't know is that he's making a big mess on that plate :).



However, he was great on the beanbag and didn't make even one little mess on any of my stuff!





They were nice enough to help me move the couch and take down several framed pictures for these shots!



Clean-up break. While he kept my things spotless he didn't seem to care so much about his parents...or the carpet.


Mom had this awesome chest they keep toys in (big sister kept trying to get the toys out when we weren't looking!) and I knew I wanted to use it! This is one of the last shots we got and I think we were all amazed he fell back asleep for this!


It was raining outside, but I just loved this path they have in their backyard so we had baby all bundled up and dad holding an umbrella above him! We had a hat on him for a few, but I just love this one.
