Had to post a couple more to tide Mama over. 

Welcome to the world, Marlene!  You’re so lucky to have such awesome big brothers to show you the ropes and a family that is obviously head over heels in love with you!

Meet Garrett.

While in Utah, I had to get my baby-fix.  And nothing fits the bill more than little nephews. (In this case, Sharlyn’s.)  At a few weeks old, Garrett was wide-awake and unwilling to miss anything.  But he was also one of the calmest babies I have ever met.  The whole session, he just hung out, waiting for me, his mom, his auntie, or his older sister to entertain him.  (I’d like to think that we succeeded at that task.)

With a small army of women waiting on his every need, we were ready to start the session.

Cute baby?  Check.

Gorgeous window light?  Check.

Nice warm room, perfect for near-naked babies?  Check!

I loved his hair.  LOVED.  I wish mine would do this.

Dad was feeling left out and joined us for some fun…

Okay, maybe he got a little bit sleepy toward the end…

Thank you, Christiansen Family, for inviting me into your home, letting me hang out with you all afternoon, and for feeding me wonderful Mexican food.  Yum!  It definitely was a big part of The Best Roadtrip Ever!

On a quick trip to Utah in July, I got a chance to catch up with my brother and his kids… holy cow!  They grow so fast!  This here is little Carson… the laughingest, happiest, drooliest, and arguably the cutest baby I’ve ever met.

Love you, Little Man!
