baby caleb!

Untitled-4
Baby-boy Gardner has arrived! Caleb Grey was born on Friday, November 20th, and I'm so excited to share a few pictures of our new family. It was actually a lot harder to take a few newborn photos than I thought it would be! I imagined that I would have plenty of time to capture Çaleb during his first week at home, but in reality, it was hard to recover and photograph our new baby at the same time... Whenever he was perfectly asleep, that's exactly what I wanted to be doing! :)

Luckily, I was able to capture a few shots of him in his cute little newborn stage. He's such a sweet baby! We have loved this first week at home with him...

And, of course, I can't leave out Caleb's excited big sister!

My friend Shannon sent along this shirt for Maggie, and I love it!! She's very proud to be a big sister.
