This litle guy has quite the name to live up to. Before he was born his big sister (she’s 2 1/2 years old) insisted that his name is Tarzan. Everyone would try and get her to say Benjamin but she wouldn’t have any of it. When he was born the family crowded around the window to see the brand new baby and Grace proudly stated, “Oh look! There’s Tarzan!” And there ya have it!

So while he may have a new larger than life name he’s actually the tiniest thing! All my hats were HUGE on him and he fit in my smallest basket with room to spare. And ya know what? I loved it! We had a few challenges getting him to sleep mostly because he only wanted his mom and as fate would have it, Grace wanted her mom too. Funny how that happens huh? But eventually we got him to doze and in return got some precious shots!

It’s best to take newborn photos within the first 10 days of their life because they will sleep through everything and they’re still super tiny. This beauty was 2 1/2 weeks old so I was nervous. Thankfully, I didn’t need to be! She slept and when she did wake up she just looked around with her pretty eyes. She is such a petite little thing that my pettiskirts and my newborn hats fell right off of her. *Sigh* I have to admit it…she made me kinda baby hungry. I’m sure she’ll do the same for you!

This sweet baby girl and I got to spend hours together! Not only was it great to meet her but I got to catch up with a good friend that I grew up with…like a 20 year friendship! When I first got there Jade had her pretty eyes wide open and ready to join the party. Even after she’d been fed and we had the heat turned up so high that the rest of us were dripping sweat she fought those sleepy eyes. Eventually, she gave in and I was able to get those adorable sleeping shots! Sweet and beautiful, what a lovely combination in a little girl!
