i could stare at him all day.

so newborn pictures were quite the experience. mauer is a very alert baby- he doesnt really take naps in the day. 15 min here, 30 there. thats all i get. the plus side is he sleeps great at night. so for a photo shoot where a sleepy baby is ideal, well mauer is not. we were there for 4 hours, i was frustrated, tim was tired, mauer wanted to party. i was a little concerned that we weren't going to get anything. so you can imagine my excitement when i say i have 5 pictures to share with you! i swear he is the cutest baby ever. i know im his mom but come on, you know you agree. ;)

love this. that's his daddys glove from college.

always has his hands by his face.

so sweet.

his birthmark.

love love this picture. i can't get enough!
