With all the attention on the new baby, we decided it would be good to enroll Molly in ballet class.  The cuteness of all those little girls in their ballet gear is beyond words.  Molly was so excited to go!

Baby CJ is doing well too.  He is still in that ‘eat and sleep all day long’ mode and I’m getting up every two hours at night to feed him.  Not to mention, Molly has started getting out of bed in the middle of the night and climbing into bed with us . . . needless to say, I’m not getting a whole lot of sleep right now.   I just keep telling myself “it’s going to get better . . .it’s going to get better”. 

And it looks like CJ might end up with red hair!  It’s mainly noticeable in the natural sunlight though, so not sure if he’ll keep it.  I so hope he does since I love redheaded children. 

I’m back to work this weekend though!  Photographing Kim and Brian’s wedding on Friday so be sure to check back soon!

“CJ” finally made his way into the world on September 8th . . . a week and half past his due date and two days before his big sister’s birthday.  A healthy 8 pounds, 13 ounces and 22 inches.  And no epidural.  Yup, you heard that right . . . I had an almost 9 pound baby with no pain meds at all.  I am woman, hear me roar. 

Mind you, this was not by choice.  We barely made it to the hospital in time — we quite literally got checked into a room and he was born seven minutes later.  It was slightly crazy.  I guess once he finally made up his mind to join us, he didn’t waste any time!

The downside is that I had planned on having my sister in the delivery room with me taking pictures like during my first delivery.  Needless to say, she didn’t make it to the hospital in time.  But once she got there, she started snapping away.  So here are some shots she got.

And here are some I’ve taken since we’ve been home.

With big sister, Molly.

how cute are these dimples?
