a first and a last

my friend and i gave elsie her first photo shoot yesterday.

let's just say, now i know why
you photograph newborns before they are 2 weeks old!
can you say grumble-y baby!

we did get some pretty cute shots though.
i was pleased.

and this is how elsie finished...

and at last...mabel said good-bye to the bink!
yeah for us, i mean, her!

just cuz

it's amazing how fast elsie is growing.

the first shot is of elsie and her cuz carson
elsie was 4 days old, carson 7 weeks

i still laugh every time i see this...
elsie looks so tiny and carson, what can i say, huge!

and here's the current standings as of saturday...
she's catching up!

proud brother & sister

connor & mabel are absolutely in love with baby elsie
