I just can't help myself!!!

I am totally and completely head over heals in love with Zachary! I know that all parents say this about their kids, but I really, truly am. I just can't get enough of him! I think it helps that he is such a mellow baby...he's a good eater, a good sleeper...nothing I have experienced before with an infant his age. Don't get me wrong - Anslie is my heart walking around outside of my body. I would sacrifice everything for her happiness and well-being. It's just different this time. Chalk it up to experience. I had to learn how to be a mom with Anslie and everything was so new and scary when she was born. There's something to be said for experience; it has given me the opportunity to enjoy my new baby.

Anyway, the purpose for me writing this post is to share one of my favorite photos of Zac from his newborn photo shoot I did with him on Saturday. He was 8 days old and 100% precious. I have a ton of photos that I absolutely ADORE from this shoot, but I can't decide if I want to post them now or wait until I send out his birth announcements. So, I have decided to share just one because I can't keep them to myself any longer!

He's so precious. We can't wait to meet him in person. I'm glad he's such a sweet babe for you!

Look at all that hair...he is gorgeous Shillawna. Isn't it nice to feel like you might actually know what you are doing this time around?!?

Love, love, love the pic. He looks completely angelic! I am so glad that you are enjoying the same type of experience that I've been able to have with newborns. Like I've said a million times, newborns are my FAVORITE. There isn't a way to describe how much you can love a sweet new babe, is there! I remember just wanting to squeeze them till their little heads popped off!

SOOOOOOO adorable! i can't wait to see all the other pics. He is a very cute baby. Mom fished out a lot of old baby pics of me for a slide mikes mom is putting together and there are pics of you that look sooo much like Anslie as a little girl....and then there are pics of me as a baby all rolly polly and with lots of dark hair and i look a lot like Zachary. He is so cute.

I remember what it was like to meet Catherine for the first time; The intense feeling of absolute love and devotion; I'm sure that's what Heavenly Father feels for us; Imagine the satisfaction he must feel when one of his children returns home and reports that they lived a life of righteousness and were a good steward of His spirit children.

I'm so happy for you shillawna; there isn't a word in all the tongues of men that adequately describes the joy you must be feeling when holding your newborn baby.

You and Kevin are goodly parents; I have no doubt that when the day of judgement comes, you will be found worthy to enter into the Celestial Kingdom.
