Today marks Gavin's four week birthday!
He still seems so small to me, like a newborn, yet he's a month old. This could have something to do with the fact that he was only a little over 7 pounds when he was born, while his oldest brother was 10 pounds. It's going to take Gavin a little while to gain the weight he needs to so that he seems older to this mom who is used to having larger babies!
But I am definitely not wanting him to have a growth spurt. I love this stage of life. Sleep deprivation aside, I am cherishing every minute with my little guy and love that he loves to be held and cuddled. I sit and watch him and marvel at the blessings God has given our family in the form of four healthy and happy children. Who am I that I deserve to be the mother of four such wonderful {and spunky and fun and incredibly energetic} kids? It's only by the grace of God, and I thank Him for that grace every day!
I posted a sneak preview of a photo shoot I had with Gavin when he was two weeks old and haven't gotten around to posting the other photos. As you can imagine, it's been a bit busy around here. What better way to celebrate another milestone than by finally posting those pictures...
Love the sunburst in this photo...
Gavin smiles a lot in his sleep, but I couldn't believe I actually got not one, but two shots of him smiling. Talk about luck... {Click on the photos to see his beautiful grin larger.}
And I love sleeping baby photos. Doesn't he look so peaceful? Melts my heart...

Tina,
Thanks for reminding me about the header!! I should get to work on that :) And yes, I did take the photos. It's a hobby {or rather an obsession} of mine, lol. Thanks for your kind comment! Your little Sophie is such a cutie too!
Blessings to you!
Angie :)
Awesome photos Angie! And the shot of him smiling is SO especially sweet! (He's been listening to you photograph his brothers and sister I think!) You gotta take lots of photos because they grow SO FAST don't they?! It's so nice that this little guy didn't start out as a 10 lb-er so you can enjoy those tiny moments just a wee bit longer!
Those pictures are so beautiful. Such a darling little guy! You should give us photo tips so we can try to have such beautiful pictures!
I LOVE your header too!
Great pics! He is soooo cute! Can't wait to meet him!
Are you kidding me!?...those are SO stink'in CUTE!!!! I especially love the ones in the basket, where he is smiling...SO SWEET!! :)
Soak in every moment, cuz they grow WAY too fast!
Precious.
Simply, PRECIOUS.
How much can I pay you to take pictures of MY babies someday? Pretty sure you're awesome :]
Emilie...
