Already One Week Old

I know- it seems like we have had a million photo shoots! Which, I guess we have! With the craziness of having a baby, moving to another state, and starting a new job, we decided to do his newborn pictures as soon as we could. One of my good friends was available and she did an amazing job! Just like last time, Jaxon was an absolute angel and did such a good job as we put him in some of the craziest positions! It is honestly amazing how flexible they are!

Cutest lips ever!




Our new family.




This is my favorite family shot.

I love the way he is always cocking his feet and twisting his tiny fingers and hands. Precious.
He couldn't be any sweeter even if he tried.




So sweet.
And stretch....


My favorite photo of the two of us.





Emily had some of the cutest accessories for baby photos! We couldn't resist!


Love him too much.




He is almost too pretty in this photo (if there is such a thing).







Priceless.



Had to throw in something sporty for Brandon.







So before I had Jaxon I was really wanting to be crafty and make something for him that was just from me. With my mom being huge into quilts I decided I would make my first quilt...ever! I picked out this material and my mom helped me find a pattern that wouldn't be too hard for me. I was able to finish it and I must say that I am super proud of it! And it wasn't even that hard! On the bottom we were able to stitch, "Love, Mommy" with my mom's machine.



Emily, who took these photos, was so excited that he let her move both his arm and foot out of the basket. She said she has been trying to get this pose for over a year and no baby would let her do it- except our little guy!













I just love the look on his face.

Photo Shoot at One Day Old

We delivered Jaxon at Orem Community Hospital and before we even delivered, a nurse came in and explained that the hospital has a photographer that can come in the day after the delivery and take photos that you can look at and then later decide if you want to purchase them or not. Knowing of other friends that had delivered there, I knew that they offered this service. I also knew that they weren't cheap! I signed the paperwork saying that they could come in and take his pictures thinking that I wasn't going to buy them. After we had Jaxon and the lady took his pictures, I just couldn't help myself! I thought he was so perfect and just the prettiest baby I had ever seen (I know- everyone thinks that about their own child). Anyway- we ended up buying the disc and here are some of our favorite pictures. He was such a good baby and didn't make a "peep" the whole time she took his photos. Mommy was so proud!




Tiniest feet I have ever seen.







This is one of our favorite pictures of him.













Seriously an angel from Heaven.




I didn't know they were going to take some of me- hence the reason why I look this bad. It was ten o'clock in the morning the day after delivery- who honestly gets ready?








It is amazing how much love I have for him already. He is the sweetest spirit and such a joy to our lives! I can't remember feeling more blessed than I do right now.
