fischer’s newborn photos.

I realized the other day that I never shared our newborn session with you guys! Exactly one year ago, on my birthday, my sweet friend and favorite

photographer, Carolyn, took these and I cry every time I flip through them.

I can’t believe he was ever this itty-bitty. Those tiny legs, splotchy hair patches and little grandpa faces tug so hard at my mama heart strings.. I even miss his little baby acne!

On the morning we took these I remember feeling such gratitude. Fischer was exactly 10 days old and my head was still in that hazy, sleep-deprived state that comes with the newborn baby package. But I remember thinking how lucky I was to have this precious little boy on my 28th birthday.

I remember in these early days with Fischer wondering what he would be like weeks and months from then. What would his mannerisms be like? Who would he take after more? What would his favorite foods be?

A year later, I can say he’s growing into such a sweet, tender, curious and fun-loving little boy. He loves to explore, never withholds a smile – even from strangers – and so far seems to possess a good mix of qualities from both G and I. At times he can be loud, vivacious and talkative and sometimes he’s content to sit, listen and observe.

It’s crazy how much he’s changed our lives and yet, it’s hard to imagine life without him in it anymore. Like he was always meant to be here adding love and laughter and literal sunshine to otherwise mundane days.Fischer Scot, you make everyday feel like my birthday, sweet boy. It is most definitely not lost on your Daddy and I just how blessed and lucky we are to have you here with us.
