7 weeks

Of course, the fact that I am a photojournalist means that I will always shoot tons of pictures of baby Chase. But I'm also trying to preserve as best as I can this "tiny" stage while he is still a newborn. I know that he will not always be this little and I will want to remember the little toes and fingers that he once had. So here are some more pictures I took this morning during Chase's 7-week photoshoot. Enjoy!


He is getting so good at holding his head up. So strong!

Tiny little fingers

and little toes

So handsome!

I love the little "baby rolls!"

He probably hates this silly-looking hat, but I love it, which
means I will photograph him as many times as possible in it!

See?!! It just does not get any cuter than this!

Without a doubt, my favorite picture!!

Just a reminder that you can always view more pictures at our Shutterfly site. (I just post my favorites here, but the rest are all online). To view the rest and/or to order prints, go to www.chasebrandon.shutterfly.com

We will take these pictures every month, to see how the babies grow...

This was taken on New Years. Zach is 7.5 months, Lincoln is 2.5 months, Ella is 4 months, and Chase is still in my belly (with 2 weeks to go!)

Chase is here!!!

Chase Stephen Brandon was born on Sunday night, January 11th, 2009, at 11:23pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He is absolutely adorable, with big chubby cheeks, a cute little nose, and long gorgeous eyelashes! We are so in love with him. Here are a few pictures, we'll post lots more once we get home. Enjoy!
