A new baby changes a family- turns couples into parents, only kids into siblings, babies of the family into big brothers or sisters. Pictures of these new relationships in the first weeks are so special, and can capture all the newness, excitement, (along with occasional mixed feelings on kids’ parts), and love for this new little one. Jude was the second baby for this sweet family and the first boy. He weighed in at 9 lbs, 8 oz and was just adorably chunky. Some babies have very definite likes and dislikes, and he was one of them- he didn’t like to be alone. As long as someone was holding him, he was happy as a clam, but being out of someone’s arms was not something he appreciated. So, we went with his preferences for the most part, and did more than usual with family. His sister was so excited to have a little brother, and I love her expressions!
