Leif- One Month Photos

This was a big weekend. No, he's not sleeping through the night or anything. Friday, I tried on a 0-3 month layette and it fit Leif. So far he's only been in newborn sizes. It sort of freaked me out that soon we would be retiring these adorable newborn outfits that I've grown attached to- in fact, he looked like a different child altogether in new clothing! So, I said to Charles that it was time to set up the studio before our child grows up much more. So, Saturday afternoon we threw out the schedule and put our kid in front of the lights.

The flash lasted for a few pictures when Charles decided that a stationary light would not bother the baby as much- everyone else's kids get their brains flashed out, but not ours...okay, we'll work to change that! Anyway, so we set up the umbrella with a work light from Home Depot and we had gorgeous lighting. Not only that, but Leif enjoyed looking at the light, which kept him wide-eyed and looking in the right direction for the whole shoot. I have to say that Charles and I were both surprised at the pictures- I mean, we know the kid is cute, but he looks super cute in these...don't you think? The studio is still set up, so I think there will be more to come in the following week(s).

Oh, and today Leif is one month old. This morning, I finally cut his hair- don't worry grandparents, you wouldn't even notice it. His hair in back is just getting a little too long and it was starting to look like a mullet. Actually, the final straw came when Todd Babb said that he was a Georgia boy, so a little mullet was okay...and I was like- I'm cutting his hair the first chance I get!
