1st photo shoot

Here are some of my favorites from my 1st photo shoot with Emerson....trying to capture the newness of her.  Call me a little partial but I think she's a pretty beautiful baby!

Watch me grow!

I purchased these cute monthly iron on transfers from Etsy to put on Em's onesies each month.  I can't wait to see the difference each month and I'm especially excited to see what 12 months looks like in comparison =)

Flowers

Flowers and well wishes were plentiful in the days following our return home.  Not only did we receive beautiful flowers and cards, but multiple friends brought us homemade dinners to ease our transition back to a routine.

Here are my favorites from Emerson's first photo shoot by Bella Baby.

One day new

On August 9th our lives were forever changed when we were joined by a beautiful, healthy baby girl.  She came into this world a little grumpy looking but you would too under the circumstances in which she arrived.  Daddy says she looked like his Grampa Chief in that moment but regardless of who she looks like we were so happy to have her in our arms finally.

Nice to meet you!

A happy but exhausted Daddy!
