If you've been around here for very long, you should know by now that we had two nieces born to our family in June (and have another on the way, due this December!) You could say this is the year of the girls around our family!
I went to take baby Charlotte's newborn pictures the week after she arrived, and she did such a good job for her session. She slept soundly, cuddled closely with her mom and dad, and didn't stir when big sister came into the nursery to play Barbies with her aunt Abie. :) Though she looks very much like Blakely did when she was that young, I know Charlotte will be her own person, and we can't wait to see her unique characteristics shine through the older she gets.
Blakely is adjusting very well to being a big sister, she adores baby Charlotte and gives her lots of cuddles and kisses. When we did this session, Blakely was a bit sad that I wanted to take their pictures and couldn't just play with her, so she didn't want to sit still for very long. I didn't know if we would get any pictures of just her and Charlotte this time, but at the end when I was taking pictures of her baby sister outside, Blakely decided to go sit beside her and give her some love. The images weren't really posed or planned, but I love them and I am so glad we got some of the two of them together at this stage!
Welcome to the world, baby Charlotte! We love you!
