Newborn Pictures with a Toddler

We had a great night last night. Henry slept with me from 1-5 and fed off and on. I never would have let Evie sleep with me but sleep is WAY more important this time. I put him in his crib about 5 and he slept until 7. Evie slept until nearly 9 so we got our first full day at home off to a great start!

Valerie, the photographer, came to take pictures this morning. Evie hit it right off with Valerie and was sititng in her lap reading books while Henry took breaks. Can't wait to see the pictures! Most of them are of the two of them but we did manage some shots with just Henry. Evie thought the whole thing was so fun! She loves pools so we pretended the bed was a pool and she had to keep climbing up to give Henry kisses in the pool. It was defnietly a different experience from Evie's newborn pictures where we just sat back and watched the magic unfold. We were part of the magic of getting both kids in the same shot this morning.

She is loving her brother and wants to know where he is all the time. He was crying this morning while being changed. Evie said, "It's okay Henry. Evie loves you." She also wants to see and touch his belly button all the time. So sweet! She is doing a terrific job being a big sister. The hardest part so far is to give Evie attention while still taking care of Henry. It's going to get harder too when Carl goes back to work. He is a HUGE help playing with Evie while I spend most of the day feeding Henry. Luckily, Henry is helping us ease into being parents of two.  I am very behind on returning phone calls and emails! Maybe, I will catch up one day. Thank you for all your sweet messages.
