Shot indoors on a very wet and stormy day, the sweetest two-month old ever and his adorable 20-month old big brother:

Why, hello cutie!

Can you believe those lashes?

And I totally wore out his baby brother trying to get a shot of these two together.

Oh, that yawn was good! He’s all smiles now.

We did (amazingly!) manage to get a couple of them together, but I’m saving those for mom!

Welcome, baby brother! • Houston Newborn Photographer

A few weeks a friend of ours asked me to photograph his family and his newborn baby boy. Nothing extraordinary about that, right? Except that he is an AMAZING photographer, one that I really admire and to say that I was nervous is, well, a complete understatement. But I downed my usual can of DoubleShots on the way over there and now here are a few of my favs.

I just LOVE these.

Isn’t big sis as gorgeous as her mommy?

Have I introduced you to Maleia yet?

I have been meaning to blog about my gorgeous new niece for a good three months now and if I wait any longer, I am sure I will forever feel like the worst auntie ever. Blogging just takes SO LONG, but I won’t digress. Now where should I start? I think we’ll go way back:

Now that I’m thinking about it, I have posted about Maleia this far back before. But this post is really more about Maleia and her bestest budy, Adam. See how they were friends from way back in the day?Just a quick note, we do not dress like this on a normal basis! These were taken at a Totally Awesome 80′s Baby Shower for my sis. And yes, it was groovy.

More of my sweet niece.

Hangin’ out with her Belly Bud, Adam:

And now, Bumbo Buddies!

Ladies and Gents, I have survived two whole months of no sleep, raging hormones, an endless amount of poopy diapers and non-stop crying (Adam’s and mine)! Hooray for newborns! No, seriously. He has been a dream and despite all that I listed above, there’s also cuddling, laughter, cooing, tears of joy and lots and lots of love all around. Now that he’s two months old his big brother and sis are able to play with a him a little more.

In case you missed it in the photo above, N Dizzle has lost yet another tooth!

My hubby actually had to pull that one out. Yeesh!

Is it just me or do your children seem to age like crazy once you get a newborn in the house? I feel like M is a totally different person now.

I don’t care how old she gets, she will always be my baby girl.

And speaking baby girls, I am about to become an auntie again! My sister is due any day now and we cannot wait to meet her baby girl.

Things from all over

So, um, yeah… Three is HARD. I knew that already, really. But I didn’t really know. More on that later.

First I wanted to share a few pics of my super cute baby sister. She is graduating from college this winter and asked me if I would snap a few pics to celebrate. What!?! An opportunity to go and do something without my kids? No crying? No diaper changes? No gentle reminders that the laundry basket is, “really full, mama. Like, bursting out full!”

How could I resist? We went and checked out a location that I have been eyeing for a while now and the weather was perfect, the light just right and my sis? Just lovely!

Lovin’ her ANTMish pose here.

Isn’t she gorgeous?

I was only out about an hour and I already missed the crying and constant requests for undivided attention. It’s been a bit harder than I thought adjusting to being needed by an infant while still meeting the needs of everyone else in this house, but my two older kids are soldiers! They have been so very patient with me and just adore their little brother. They literally cannot keep their hands off him.

I love the look on M’s face here. She’s happy to be laying with her brother but ticked that I told her to keep her hands off him. She is always squeezing his head when I’m not looking!

Her older brother is much gentler but also cannot keep his (1st grade, germy) hands off him either.

Personally, I think the guy is just thrilled to have another male in the house

I’d post more of the little guy but I have yet to send out our announcements. Until then, this will have to do
