I’m happy to announce that while I was in Thailand, Baby W was born. (If you’ve been following along, he’s the little brother of these two cuties.) He was 11 days old in these photos – and one ALERT guy! But we have ways of making him sleep…

Alert as he was, he was a pretty easygoing guy and very easy to calm down. Particularly with food and swaddling and rocking, as usual. I think Crista & Aaron are still trying to figure out where he got his cleft. It’s so very… boyish though, don’t you think?

Already thinking, “Oh boy. Two big sisters and a dog. When am I going to get any sleep around here?”

Crista looks fantastic. She’s an expert at this now, and I’m quite aware that on the 11th day getting makeup on and being in photos is something to be very proud of!

Aaron is a very easygoing and sweet father. He has got to be happy there’s another man in the house now.

This moment was a favorite of mine. They touched foreheads and glanced at each other and at W – it’s nice to steal a moment without the other kids I’d bet.

A definite favorite!

And finally. My favorite. An adorable smirk. See the dimple? There’s one like it on the other cheek too!

W was a great baby – and Crista tells me he slept away the rest of the afternoon! Glad I wore him out. I can’t wait to get my camera on your whole big beautiful family soon, Crista & Aaron. Congratulations!
