Photo Shoot!

So like I mentioned earlier... A few ppl put in money towards a photo shoot for Max. Loved getting these back from THE amazing Ashley Bennett. She has kind of decided to slow down on the baby photo shoots because they take alot of work and alot of time, but my Mother-in-law talked her into it. When I talked to her on the phone she told me It usually take about 2 hours if not longer to do a baby, and he was almost 3 weeks old already (she told me usually she likes to do them when they are like a week old so she can get them sleeping) she told me it would be a little bit harder to get him sleeping and in the positions she wanted him in so plan on a bit longer. Well let me tell you, she could not stop telling me how good he was and how content he was. I seriously lucked out on this little boy. And she did an amazing job and got some DARLING shots. Oh AND... it only took her an hour and a half! BAM! DONE! GONE! And I was DYING to get them back.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. (I may post every single one)

                                                            LOVE THOSE LIPS!!

                                    Im not sure why they are a little blurry.. anyone have a solution?

Blessing Day

 Max was blessed on August 5, 2012. What a blessing he has been to our little family.

  I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband who holds and honors the priesthood and fulfills his callings, and who I know with out a shadow of a doubt will be the best example to our son. There is nothing more rewarding then seeing these two together and knowing I will be with them for eternity! I am so thankful for both of our families, and for the love and support and help they have all been.

For about the first 2 weeks after Max was born I was very emotional. Im sure it had a little bit to do with hormones, but I think alot of it had to do with the spirit that I was SOO full of. This little baby is mine, I am his Mother, I am responsible for him, He is so innocent, and mostly.. My father in heaven loves me soo much that he blessed me with this precious little soul. Those were some of the thoughts going through my head.

Just when I thought I was getting over all these emotions and all My sister stopped by to get our Waterton pass to head up there for the day with some of her friends. And of course i was in the back bedroom feeding Max and she came in with this.... bless her soul.

Yup you guessed it... after I read the first two lines I was in tears. Maybe I'm still not over all this hormonal stuff because I'm in tears yet again. Or maybe thats just the overwhelming feeling of the spirit I'm getting as I sit here and read that and have my little boy so peacefully sleeping beside me. What a lucky Mommy I am.

I love my husband, I love my son, I love my life.

 

MAXAMILLIAN is worth a MILLION!

I cannot believe my baby boy is ONE MONTH!!! Being a mommy is the ABSOLUTE BEST full time job in the world.. I could do this forever... wait I do get to do this forever! LUCKY!

Especially to this little handsome man!


These first few pictures are of him Exactly One Month old..

tried to get a smile... haha  HAPPY ONE MONTH MAX!!

Every Mom say they have the perfect child... but I really do, he is perfect in every way. I am tempted to post every picture I have but I would probably be banned from blogspot.com. I have taken more pictures in the last month then i have in my whole life time x 2! Im a little bit obsessed, but who wouldn't be. 

I have enjoyed every minute of the las month, and do not regret ANY of it. Or the last 9 months or the last just over 2 years. 

These two complete my life, to say the least. 

Brooklyn and Tara put on a baby shower for me here in Cardston, it was a hoot. 

My Mom, Macey, and Amy did one for me in Raymond, which was also a hoot. 

Max got lots of cute cloths.. which we have way to many of,and lots of goodies... (no not candy you crazy ppl) goodies to us for the next while would be diapers, baby toys, wipes etc. ( and we will be accepting donations for the next little while so get in line)  and he got a swing which he absolutely LOVES, and a few ppl gave money towards a photo shoot (which was probably my favorite gift). Here are a few pics of the showers.

This is the outfit i had him in for the Cardston shower...

             What a mess.. Mommys first blow out on a new baby = poo all in babys hair! opps. I need to work on my technique for removing poopy onesies. It will come eventually.

We LOVE clean "emptied" babys!!!
