If my last newborn could be nicknamed Mr. Mellow, this little guy would have to be Mr. Feisty. Boy, did he keep me on my toes! Sweet as pie and just adorable, but so, so awake and particular about how he wanted to sleep. Eventually, I caught on to the message he was trying to send and just let him pose himself–much happier baby:). There is no substitute for flexibility and patience when it comes to working with these perfect, new little people.
Joey, 6 and 8 days:).
Could anything be more darling?

Don’t let the yawn fool you–Joey was NOT going to let a little thing like sleep cause him to miss the party;).

Even the most determined newborn can’t hold out forever:).




Couldn’t be sweeter or more loved (look at his gorgeous grandma who traveled all the way from Costa Rica!):
