The Wooden Bowl Series








The story behind the first part of this little shoot makes me smile...
I took Oliver outside to snap a few shots of him in a wooden bread bowl. He is so tiny, and he fits so perfectly, I couldn't help myself. Sam noticed us outside, so he came and laid his head down on Oliver's tummy, so that he could be in the pictures too. This camera-happy- mama was loving it!
After I was done capturing all of the cuteness, I took Oliver and the wooden bowl inside. About five minutes later, I looked out the window...Sam had taken the bowl back outside and was struggling to lay himself down in it. Not so tiny, not a perfect fit, but he was determined. He was saying, "Mommy, help!" So I offered my assistance, even though there was no way. He was partially in, but not very comfortably. He didn't mind. Once he was somewhat nestled inside the bowl, Sam was so pleased with himself. I was pleased with him too. Thanks for the sweet pictures!



Oliver Townes Little


The newest addition to our Little family, Oliver Townes Little, was born on June 9, 2011. He was determined to get here quickly...I labored a whole 2 hours and 45 minutes!! Fast forward to one push later, our beautiful BOY was born; 7lbs 15 oz, 21 inches, at 9:39am.

He is cute as a button, just like his brother and sister! And Stella and Sam adore him! Stella wants to help with all of the little baby tasks, like putting on diaper cream, or giving him his pacifier. Sam likes to hug him, hold him, "shh" him (avid happiest baby on the block enthusiast), and burp him. Sam has also made several failed attempts at nursing him.

So far number three is a great eater, a good sleeper, and a mellow little guy. It's so nice to have a baby baby in our home again. I am totally in love with Oliver and my sweet Little family.
