11 months ago we had William.
Then life took off like a rocket and any hope of documenting or recording or sharing stories went out the window.
Other things that happened: 2020
So... there's that.
But back when William was a little baby in my arms instead of a wiggly rolly-polly I decided to try and get some shots of him and Lucy and Charlie - I never got to share those with anyone so... 9-10 months later here they are! :)
I should have known that Lucy would be a total natural with him. She was so sensitive to his needs and every little noise he made. She wanted to comfort him, hold him, make him smile. Every little move he made or sound she would light up and announce it like it was the greatest thing in the whole wide world!
I forget the name the nurse gave to those little blotches all over his face - but she told me that they would fade away, but I would see them flair up when he got really mad... she was right! Even almost a year later when William is really worked up those little read spots come out!
Charlie is also crazy about William - and while he isn't quite as gentle and delicate as Lucy, he was downright fascinated with this little life that came into his world.
And just like that this sweet, spunky boy became the middle child.
Because I'm insane, one day I decided to pack up my 5 year old, 3 year old and 3 week old... and go take photos during golden hour one October evening. It was chaos.
But a few of the photos turned out pretty adorable.
Now, this photo is a better example of the mood of the evening - quick! Give him his bottle so he stops crying and we can finish these photos before the sun goes down... total chaos.
Taking photos of 3 kids is never a walk in the park - but I am so glad I forced myself to do it so that I can look back and remember these sweet little faces!
And so, 10 months later, there you have William's infant photos.
