Something is going on with Grayson... either more teeth (he's popped SIX in the last two weeks) or a new ear infection or something b/c he was up off and on all night. He's fussy and spitting up all of a sudden, something he hasn't done since infancy (he's 10.5 months now). Who knows.
What I do know is that between his rough night and Bailey sleeping in our room after a terribly bad dream about Swiper the Fox, I got NO sleep. None. Kids all over me, fussing, crying, nursing, etc.
So at 5:30am when everyone seemed to be up for the day and I was near tears from exhaustion, my sweet husband said he would stay home today to help me. Thanks Chris.
I think the emotions of last weeks NILMDTS session being final with the baby's funeral yesterday, which I video taped for the family, finally took it's toll. I've never grieved like this for a family I barely know. I've never felt like I know a family this well after meeting them for the first time less than a week ago. And all of the work I did and the emotion I held back caught up with me.
So that, coupled with NO sleep last night has me sleepy and sensitive this morning. But the mnt dew C went to get me should kick in soon. And the fact that I'm sitting here alone while Gray naps and the girls watch Enchanted with Daddy is so nice. I'm already half-way done with editing a session and it's not even 9am. Nice.
Equally as nice is the sweet baby's photos I finished editing last night!
Meet Charlie.
Isn't he the cutest? Those blue eyes!
His mom said she didn't have many photos of just the two of them, and since he was almost 8 weeks we needed to remedy that!
Talk about cute... isn't she gorgeous?
She looks amazing! And you would NEVER guess she had a baby less than two months prior!
Kind of ticks me off to be honest with you! I look like I delivered twins yesterday! HA!
I love this. Something we moms do a MILLION times a day but an act that is rarely photographed. Some of my sweetest times was changing diapers. Tickling their tummies, kissing their toes, talking to them, singing, pinching the baby leg chub, giggling. My kids always loved being changed and weren't big squirmers so it was a nice moment in each crazy day to reconnect with them!
And how much do you love the mural?
This one too! Don't you LOVE that monkey?
Neither of us believed we could get Charlie to sleep soundly enough to be moved, positioned, posed, etc. But after a little while he was putty in my hands! Look at those little lips!
And OH MY TOES. I know I have an obsession but seriously!
Such a sweet little man.
Thanks Samantha for having me over to your beautiful home!
And now I am off to finish more edits, maybe take a NAP, work on laundry and enjoy this cozy, rainy Tuesday with my family.
Thanks Tuesday. We WILL enjoy you!
