Braxton Newborn Pics

I got a couple referrals to get Braxton's newborn pictures done from a lady in east Pearland, so I got a sitter and drove all the way there with Braxton. The shoot went ok, but Braxton would not sleep!!! He was pretty much wide awake the whole time! I was hopeful after the shoot that we got some good pics but pretty disappointed once I received them. So few pictures, and so few that I liked, let alone loved. I had so many amazing ones from my friend Raquel when Marlee was born and so I had pretty high expectations. Oh well, he is still adorable. Hopefully I can capture him on my own!

I swear he looked like 4 months only in this pic, not a couple weeks!

I do love this one. He's so calm and happy all the time!

We had a lot of fun trying to prop him up just right in this crate :)

Finally asleep once it was time to go!

January - first month as a family of 6!

                                               Houston Ice-storm 2014.... we will rebuild.

                    This really was so fun for the kids having frozen ice all over the trampoline!!

 Marlee all ready for her first dance class! She was very excited but was pretty nervous when we got there :)

 Marlee is so excited to have "her baby" finally here!

Strawberry/Cherry Cheesecake for Ryan's birthday... I think it's a new family favorite :)

I couldn't help myself :) I love laying Braxton in front of the warm fire place.

Ice! The "ice-storm" turned out to be pretty fun after all!

Brother love! Casen is so excited to have a baby brother! I love how they're making the same face in the picture below :)

First shot at German pancakes - apple cinnamon, blueberry/plain. Everyone seemed to be happy.

I love Marlee's concentrated face, she is such a "big girl" and loves to do everything on her own.

We love this cute blanket from our sweet neighbor Mindy Focke!

First Bath! The kids were all so excited to help me girl Braxton his first REAL bath :)

Tried to get a few pictures of this sweet baby... with he kids help ofcourse...

The look on his face cracks me up in this one!

This one kills me... so many good captions you could write :)

Snug as a bug
Marlee wants Braxton to lay by her every night before she goes to bed. She also loves to lay by him on the floor.

I got to take Braxton in for his check up all on my own and loved just snuggling and playing with him... and ofcourse taking lots of pictures.

More Ice - yay! The canceled school for this stuff - too funny!

Marlee sure loved to help, she is the cutest little dish scrubber :)

Bill and Carla our sweet neighbors brought Marlee this little tea set, and toys for the other kids too. They are so sweet!

Marlee put matching flowers in our hair :)

Hide and seek can get pretty crazy around here - I'm amazed and what they fit into!

Love looking down at this little nugget. True joy.
