An afternoon nap & another photo opp.

Luke is 4 weeks old today

I love this picture because he is starting to look "fat". I mean that in a very good way. :)

You may be wondering - "Just how many pictures of a sleeping baby can one Mom take?" To be fair, he doesn't do much else - at least not much I can photograph! He's just so cute and I know that I will blink and he will be all grown up so I want to take as many as I can! It's just easy to take these pictures right now. Although it is getting challenging to think of different things to do. I usually take them by myself so I'm limited. I also don't have that many props and lighting, etc. I am still hoping to get some pictures with Chris this week while he's off but it just hasn't worked out yet. Timing is everything and those moments are harder to come by the more people that you have to factor in. Getting Chris free means Anna needs to be occupied and Jaden asleep then, Luke has to be asleep to or at least cooperative and since I'm not a professional photographer it's got to be a day with good light... You can see what I mean.

This is one of my favorites because it will always remind me of one of Luke's favorite things. Just about from the time we brought him home I've been able to relax him to sleep or comfort him by running my hand over his little head. It's so sweet to watch his eyes softly close and feel his delicate hair. I love these moments.

The blanket in this picture was the same one that I used in Jaden's newborn picture. It was a gift from a friend of Chris' in WV. I like that there are connections I can capture in photographs between my kids.
