Little Khollen is our second newborn of 2010 woohoooo!  He sure did give us a run for the money too!  There's somethng about a newborn that is 10 days or younger, they are almost always still in the eat/fall right to sleep mode.  But something happens after 10 days and they can eat and eat and stay wide awake--that's exactly what Khollen did.  The conditions were all perfect---he was full and the house was like Valdosta in July.  Plenty warm!!  He just didn't want to miss any action. 

He lasted through big sister and Dad watching Shrek, the family having a McDonald's snack and the first snow falling.  But I told him I could outlast him...and usually I'm fairly confident about that, but it was getting so close to the end that I was starting to worry.  But right when the session was almost over, he passed right out and I got some shots that I know Mom and Dad will feel are worth the efforts!

Here is what Khollen looked like for about three hours straight...

Now the money shots! :)

His hair was perfect and I couldn't help but SPIKE it!

Our very last session of 2009 was perfect...a sweet little newborn nugget! :) John David was born three weeks early and STILL weighed eight lbs nine oz and was twenty-one inches long!! His Mom and I joked that in three more weeks he would have been born as a toddler! :)

He's definitely a BIG boy and so sweet and cute. He barely fussed at me at all during his session and that was only to remind every now and then that I was blocking the warm air coming from the heater I had pointing his way to keep him toasty and sleepy. :) All those cute poses and things he's doing with his arms in these photos---those were his ideas---he's a natural and he certainly liked it better when they were his ideas! :)

Look at that belly...and that was before sucking down a bottle!



This cute pup was one of the first presents given to him.



Mom and Dad are serious Gator fans--so I had fun with the blue and orange!


Two of his mama's blankets when she was little...




ROCK OUT DUDE!

PEACE homey and word to ya motha!

Oh man, little Coop...I can hardly wait each three month increment to see this little cutie in person. I love when his Mom posts new pictures of him on facebook so I can get my little dose of Coopie! This kiddo has only gotten cuter and cuter since we've first taken his pictures and since we only get older in life, it's surely a good thing to keep growing cuter and cuter! :) I think about how maybe we'll be taking this guy's senior pictures, then his wedding pictures...WOW! How awesome would that be?! It's too amazing to be growing older right alongside someone that you get to see grow and change through pictures. We ADORE this cutie!

9 monthers are perfect, more expressions and they still can't quite run away from you yet...his next set of pictures will be a different story!

I call this next one, "A Coop in a coupe." Sorry, couldn't help myself!










Coop's Mom brought this awesome Santa costume....could this be any cuter?!



I have to show a little bit of what it's like with someone who has discovered crawling...if Cooper didn't want to be somewhere, he had no troubles with removing himself from the situation! The rest of us thought it would be super cute if he would sit behind the frame and look at the camera, he had other plans. These are funny!
