Cole. Newborn.
Those lips. I die.
Cute family alert! I took Margaux and Adam’s wedding photos a few years ago. And really tons of photos since including their friends and even her family’s business events. I love them all so very much and it doesn’t ever feel like work, a client or a business relationship, but always a friendship. XO, you ALL!
We were trying to put a cracker on Cole so the pup would lick it but he wanted NOTHING to do with it.
Watch dog.
My heart explodes when I see this photo. OHHHHHHH!
Tell us about that first moment when you saw your baby.
It’s difficult to put into words how incredible it was to see our son for the first time. After waiting for so long just to find out boy or girl, we were overwhelmed by emotions to find out we now have a baby boy. He looked so peaceful, innocent, beautiful and it was hard to believe he was ours. We are truly blessed.
What was your baby’s birth weight and length?
Cole was 6 lbs, 5 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches.
Is there a story behind your baby’s name?
Well, we had our girls name picked out almost immediately after we found out we were pregnant. As for the boys name, we were clueless. I had always loved the name Cole but Adam hated it so for months Adam would toss a new name at me and I would crinkle my nose and say, “uh no”. Adam would drive by places and call me and say, “what about Chase” and I would say, “I like that name, how did you come up with that one?” and he would reply, “I just drove by Chase bank” which of course meant I couldn’t possibly name our son Chase. We did that back and forth for months and after he was born, we still weren’t sure on the name. He was rooting for Grant and I was rooting for Hunter. Both of us didn’t budge until I mentioned Cole again in the hopes that he changed his mind, sure enough Adam agreed. Now the middle name, don’t get me started on that one…
Give us the scoop. What has surprised you the most about parenthood? Are there any funny stories or firsts that you’d like to share?
What surprised us most about parenthood? That’s a tricky one…I would say overall it’s just hard to believe he is ours sometimes. I look at him and think, how did we get so lucky?? He surprises us everyday, whether it’s keeping us up at all hours during the night, peeing on us when we are changing his diaper at 3:00 am, his giant smiles he gets when he’s dreaming, or his goose noises he makes out of no where that always make us laugh. I would say parenthood is something you are never truly prepared for or something you can’t truly understand until you’re experiencing it first hand. It’s pretty incredible.
