Natty and Guy brought their new bundle of joy, Lena, to see me last week. She was just a wee 10 days old.
The first step in a newborn session is to give that baby a snack. Top them off if they aren’t due to be fed or give them a nice big meal if they are hungry. Then comes the long process of putting that little snuggle bug to sleep. I’ve got all sorts of tricks (like a heating pad, hair dryer and space heater) but the best thing in my arsenal is patience. It can take ask long as an hour to get the little ones completely asleep.
I actually enjoy this process. I love the shushing and cuddling and most of all I love watching the expressions that float across their little faces. Miss Lena was dreaming some really big dreams. She was smiling and puckering and pushing out her rosebud lips.
Here are my favorites…
And here is one of big brother Kaler, who was not so fond of me no matter how much shushing and cuddling I offered!
