attn: grandparents - it's the 3 month photo shoot.

at least this one is one time, yes?  ;)

I was hoping to get the kiddos together, but sissy was napping and I was not about to wake her for a photoshoot. I'll post some more with her later - maybe in a few days...

attn: grandparents - it's bo's 2nd month photo shoot

not sure why I haven't uploaded any of these photos yet, but want to make sure i'm posting one for every month. here's Bo's photos from last month.

yes, the slippers were absolutely necessary.

this kid was meant to be a model. look how naturally he looks away from the camera...

here he's kicking at me. don't worry, it's all in good fun - i didn't get hurt.

it's true - i make some cute kids. don helped.

finally giving one of her gorgeous smiles...

this one isn't from that photo shoot, but i just couldn't resist. it's his monster outfit. he's perfectly chubs. even in his monster outfit.

We've made it to the first month!

Bo is officially one month old today. This milestone inspired a photo shoot.

one of the few things to convince me that Annalee really isn't a baby anymore...

my happy boy is officially one month old today!

embracing his fate to be one of my main models... 

the proud big sissy. 

The first month has been good. I can't believe it's already been a month - but at the same time, I feel like Bo has been with us forever. It's hard to imagine life without him.

He's a relaxed baby for the most part - and a little sweetie.  I think he might have some sensitivity to dairy though - he was acting extra fussy (and he's not really a fussy baby) after I would eat dairy-heavy foods, so I've chosen to cut that out of my diet for the most part - at least cow's milk (I learned it's probably one of the proteins in cow's milk and it's kind of common for new babies to have this sensitivity). For a dairy-lover like me, that's rough, but I've found some fun replacements like almond milk. And I've been keeping my hopes up that maybe he'll outgrow it in the next few months.
