I Love Baby Grayson!!

You fall in love quickly when one of your close friends has a baby.

I have been waiting with anticipation for this little guy before he was even conceived.

Devon and I had it all planned out.

We scheduled these babies right in to our jam packed agenda.

I knew before she even took a pregnancy test that she was pregnant.

Devon sat by me the first time I felt Peanut kick-

She actually saw her kick.

I have a strong little kicker.

Devon and I could not wait to waddle around together.

Then we moved to Vegas.

I hated not being there to see her hit all of the stages she saw me reach.

I hated that she didn't get to come to the hospital to see my new bundle of joy.

I was sooo excited at the possibility of her baby being born while I was in St Louis.

Devon and John have way too much patience-

they waited to see if they were having a boy or a girl!!

It was really looking promising that Devon was going to be induced while I was there.

When it didn't happen,

I just knew she would be induced the day I left-

I was correct in my negative thinking.

She called me to tell me she was on her way to the hospital when we were one hour

outside of St Louis.

I cried.

I thought about stranding my husband alone on the train and rushing back to my friend.

With my camera, of course.

I guess I need to get some of that patience Devon and John have.

When I came back about a week later to shoot a wedding,

I bounded through their front door dying to get to that baby boy of theirs.

Forget Patience.

Such a smart guy. He knows to model for my camera already!

I love this Mommy!

Grayson's Dad is pretty cool too. : )

I could not, for the life of me, decide which of these pictures was sweeter...

I thought putting him on the mantle would be fun.

Devon and John did not.

During our pregnancies Devon and I both took up knitting/crocheting.

I made this hammock specifically with Grayson in mind,

He was the first to use it.

Devon made this blanket.

I think it turned out just perfect!

This little Teddy just can't wait to be loved on.

Congratulations Devon and John on the beginning of your perfect little family.

HAPPY ONE MONTH GRAYSON!!!
