Today, amidst the sun and rain and snow, I met up with R & her two daughters – both under 2 and she is expecting another next year. She is a very brave and patient mom already – the third will bring more smiles in return for her sleepness nights.

Baby Brooklyn was the star of the photoshoot today and she was so patient with the in-ing and out-ing of blankets and baskets. The tiniest mewing was all we heard when she started to get uncomfortable.

And, for now, as all babies are, she will tolerate her big sister grabbing all the cool xmas toys out of her hands.
