Sweet Baby Boy

Meet Logan. He was such a sweet heart today - a real trooper. I heard that he didn't like having his clothes off, but he tolerated all of my silliness quiet well! Once he finally went to sleep I fell in love with his squeaks and grunts. *Almost* made me want another baby! Erin, thank you for letting me into your life today, I truly enjoyed capturing this little guy for you. I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek!

3 Months Old!

I cannot believe sweet Madeline is already 3 months old! Wow, how time flies! She has really begun to develop a personality. The little lady is totally in love with her daddy! She will talk and talk to him. I love seeing them together. Not much in this world that is sweeter than a dad and his new daughter! Other than the talking she really isn't doing much 'new' stuff - that'll change in another month or so though! I really wish I could figure out how to slow time. She is changing so quickly! I do think I've learned to appreciate each stage with her - moreso than I did with Aiden. I even appreciate the middle-of-the-night feedings. She has started to smile and talk to me while eating and it totally melts my heart! I just *love* this little girl!!!

Thanks for listing to me ramble on. If Ike doesn't run us out of town I'll try to take a few more this weekend! But for now, these are it so enjoy!

Rainy Day

What do you do when it's rainy (and HOT) outside? You finish sewing an outfit then torture the new baby with pictures :)

One whole Month

Wow, time is truly flying by for us. Miss Madeline will be a month old tomorrow and it simply doesn't seem possible! Where did the last four weeks GO? She's a wonderful baby - sleeps well, eats a lot and is becoming very alert. Her big brother simply adores her and if the truth be known - he's too much help!! I've taken a small break from Maddie Dean Photography to be able to enjoy my baby moon and our new family. I'll be back to taking pictures soon though. In the meantime, you all just get to enjoy sneak peaks at my baby girl!

Aiden loves kissing on his sister




Hope she keeps those baby blues!



Sharing a little snuggle time before naps!


Told you he's a lot of help!


Sweet Kiddos!

Madeline Jewel Collins

Our sweet baby girl was born last Wednesday, June 4, 2008 at 6:20 PM. She weighed a whopping 7 lbs 2 oz (amazing since I gained 11 pounds!) and was 20 inches long! Little chunker was 2 weeks early but still bigger than her brother! She's a doll and we're already totally in love! She has her daddy well-wrapped around her tiny fingers! We've been busy will all the changes that come with a newborn and toddler but we're hanging in there! Not sure what I'd do with out my mom though! Her birth couldn't have been more perfect. All our prayers were well-answered! It was incredible and *almost* makes me want another! She came quickly - only 5 hrs! Well, she's stirring so I'd better go. Just wanted to announce that she's here!

Mr. Z

I had the honor of photographing the beautiful Mr. Z in all of his 8 day old glory! Even Aiden couldn't get enough of this little man. He wasn't much for sleeping even though my house felt like the sahara desert! But we still had a good time and I hope mom & dad enjoy his newborn pictures!
