Charlotte. Newborn.

Charlotte has a pup named Toby so it was only fitting to bring along a cute pup for a prop. 

Do you think Mommy and Daddy like golfing?  I’m thinking so.

Session fave…

OHHHH NO!

Here are a few fun facts about this little beauty…

Tell us about that first moment when you saw your baby.
Clint got to announce “it’s a girl!” and I think my reaction was “seriously!?” since the whole pregnancy I thought we were having a boy. I just couldn’t believe how perfect she was. And seeing Clint’s reaction was priceless. He couldn’t stop watching her and when he finally got to hold her it was obvious that she already had him wrapped around her finger!

What was your baby’s birth weight and length?
7 lbs 11 oz (the doctors / nurses were taking bets that she would be 9+lbs)

Is there a story behind your baby’s name?
I’ve kept a healthy list of names throughout most of the pregnancy and narrowed the list down every few months based on Clint’s reaction when I read them out loud. We didn’t know what we were having so we had a short list for both a boy or a girl leading up to the delivery. Clint already liked Charlotte and one day we were going thru his family history and there was another Charlotte in his lineage. That pretty much sealed the deal if it was a girl. And he’s already adopted the name “Charlie” as her nickname.

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?
I’m surprised at how natural it has been to be a parent. Instinct really does kick in almost immediately. Since we’ve had her home … she’s pretty gassy … and poops a lot. Clint had never changed a diaper before but he has quickly become a pro. I sat back and laughed the one time he had to use three diapers on one changing because she just wouldn’t stop going!
