Four Weeks Old
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...
He is so precious!!! Cherish these days...I know I don't have to tell you how quickly they pass! Thanks for dropping by my blog again, and encouraging me with your comment!!!

Oh I love your photos! Did you take them yourself? I love love love them!
ReplyDeleteThey are so peaceful when they sleep aren't they? My Sophie still curls her legs up and I love that too!
He's a cutie for sure! I can't wait to see a pic of all three on your header!
Have a great weekend!
Smooches to your babe!

Tina,
ReplyDeleteThanks 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!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so beautiful. Such a darling little guy! You should give us photo tips so we can try to have such beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your header too!
Great pics! He is soooo cute! Can't wait to meet him!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me!?...those are SO stink'in CUTE!!!! I especially love the ones in the basket, where he is smiling...SO SWEET!! :)
ReplyDeleteSoak 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 :]
