born on january 24 at 2:21am, he was 22 inches long, and 7lbs 2 oz. a skinny little thing, resembling his father with his frame, but he has red hair and apparently looks a lot like what my brothers and i did as babies. this little boy is going to give me sooooo much grief when he grows up – there’s more than a little bit of stubbornness being passed down to him from both sides – and even knowing that, i can’t wait to see him grow up. i can wait a little bit… no sense in rushing something that happens so quickly as it is! he’s changed a lot already since i took these photos – i still have more waiting to be edited but it takes me a bit longer to do that these days
(side note: we took very little hospital photos. why? well, originally it was because things started to not go as planned and so we were a little preoccupied with making sure our son arrived healthy instead of taking photos. and then i think we got distracted with how cute he was/is and just took photos with our phones. even though we had perfectly good ‘normal’ cameras at our disposal the whole time)
and yes, this is the reason i’m incredibly awful at being prompt with email responses. my apologies. i am taking full advantage of maternity leave and spending as much of it with my boy!
