I have been on a “baby hiatus” the last three months due to the birth of our son…I can’t think of a better way to get back into the swing of things than with a maternity session! :)    I will admit seeing that cute little bump made me missed mine! (Except my belly looked like that around 4 months pregnant! ha ha).    Yes..I am one of those crazy ones that once I get past the morning sickness…I like being pregnant!

This cute couple was such a joy to photograph…She has the CUTEST little bump and was a VERY PHOTOGENIC “mamma to be”   They are due with their baby girl this May.

I told you they were a cute couple!

 

You make pregnancy look GOOD!

Oh yes they do!!!!    I quite sure Mika won’t always think that!  :)   I LOVE my little brother to pieces…but he had his “moments” growing up!

Oh I just could eat his chubby little thighs!

Teague, Teague”sters”, Bubba,  Bubs (he has a plethora of names we call him ha ha)…is 2 months old today…I took him for his 2 month check up and he weighed 14lbs. 7 oz and was 24 inches long…He gained 2 1/2 lbs and  grew a  whopping TWO  inches since his 1 month check-up…We have a BIG BOY!!!   Mika was the EXACT same way when she was a baby..but she weighed about a pound less than he did at this point!

He cried just for a few seconds after his shots…I think they were harder on me than him!

Here is a picture I took of him this morning!

Last week, we got out the “activity mat” and he LOVES it!

My two sweeties…

She is full sass and class! :)  She was having her Valentine’s Day party at school today and was SOOO excited….probably cuz she would be bringing home TONS of sugar!

 

 

Here is my bald, chub-a-wub…I “wuv” him!!!  He was 8 weeks old yesterday…it has just FLOWN by…I remember thinking 8 weeks was FOREVER when pregnant with him…He is smiling and cooing LOTS…it melts my heart!

I had Mika do the honors of picking the name (old fashioned way) this morning before school!  She thought it was great fun…but she really didn’t understand what she was “giving away” ha ha

Just wanted to share Teague’s birth annoucement…I LOVE IT!

It is a 4×5 accordian fold card.  

This is the front side…The right hand side of the card is the front when folded up and the left hand side is the back.

Here is the back:

I might add…that we went for his one month check up this morning and the little chunky monkey weighted 11lbs. 11oz.  He gained a little over 3 lbs in one month! 

Are you looking for a special baby gift for someone or just something unique for your little one?   Check  out my sister-in- law’s cousin (did ya catch that? ha ha) etsy store, Boutique Baby Designs.   She has LOTS of handmade burp clothes, towels, onsies, shirts.   She can customed design lots of stuff if there is something special you want.    I received some burp cloths from her they are SOOO adorable! :)    Just tell her that I sent ya!

Oh Gosh…I have a few tears when looking at these pictures.   Even though, he is only 3 weeks old he seems soo tiny in these pictures.  They just grow way too fast.

He has brought soo much joy to our family.   I love my little family of four.   I love to watch Mika interact with him.   He knows her voice and she can instantly calm him when she talks or sings to him.

I just LOVE his little fat rolls here on his back…He looks so rolly polly!

I had my friend Kim come over to my house yesterday to take some pictures of me and my babies.  I knew that if I didn’t have someone come take pictures of myself with my kids, I would have regretted it and kicked myself in the hiney later.   I do have a quite few pictures of just me and Teague…but it was just after I gave birth and lets just say that I won’t be enlarging those pictures and hanging in my house! ha ha  

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH KIM….I will cherish these pictures FOREVER!!!

These are a few of my favorites!
