There is no BUDDY like a brother.

Levi came fast and furious. We left the house at 6:41 am and he was born at 8:06 am. Everything happened so quickly I didn't get an epidural. Which is absolutely frightening if you know what a wimp I am about pain. Fortunately he arrived after just five pushes.

 

I posted a few photos on facebook and announced his arrival.

 

 

Through the magic of facebook, my friend shared a post on my wall about a local photographer looking for a newborn to photograph with siblings for FREE. I messaged her immediately and asked "My son was born this morning, is that newborn enough?" She ended up coming to our house on Wednesday and taking some adorable photos.

Since it was a FREE photo shoot and multiple families were interested, we didn't get to choose the time. It was just before Sheldon's afternoon nap time so we had a VERY short window to get photos of all three boys.

 

I was thrilled when I saw this photo. It may look like Sheldon was posing nicely but he was only sitting like this for a split second.

Most of the photos were more like these two.

She even managed to get a cute shot when Sheldon was literally climbing all over the place like a monkey. I wish I had known Tyler's wall would be in the background. I painted the one wall with magnetic paint and all Tyler's photos and posters could have easily been taken down. But I'm sure the photographer, Crystal, assumed they were tacked down. 

After Sheldon laid down for his nap, Crystal continued to take photos of Tyler and Levi.

 

 

 

 

Thank you Crystal Ball Photography for capturing such precious memories.
