Thanks for all your sweet comments on yesterday’s post. He is a pretty special little guy and I am pretty proud of him. Well I thought I’d change it up a bit and share some pictures of a baby that isn’t mine! My sweet friend just had her first baby – Hank. He is scrumptious and I had the pleasure of sneaking away from my boys to meet him and hang out with my friend for a bit. Goodness is he cute….it is impossible for me to be around a baby, without my kids and not take a few pictures. Enjoy!
I told his mom not think I am crazy when I took this one. I also told her to take his picture with this monkey again as he grows.
It cracked me up that the monkey’s head is bigger…it is not a big monkey..jpg)
The next two are very similar, I just can’t decide which one I like more. They are both so sweet, very much the same, but very different too..jpg)

Right before I left his cousin stopped by (whose mom is my college roomie and a bridesmaid in my wedding). A few brother-cousin shots..jpg)

Courtney Connelly - Truly wonderful pictures and so very special! ‘Thank you’ just is not adequate, but THANK YOU a million times over.
annie - The bw of mom kissing hank is priceless – I have one like that of each of my babies and I cherish it now that their bigger. What a lucky friend!
ashlee - Oh my word that baby is precious! So the decor in that room is amazing! I love, love that Joel Dewberry fabric with the sparrows. You are such a talented photographer!!
Rachel - Meredith — I love the ones with the two of you. They tell such a story of your love. I also love the one of cousin looking over the bed at little Hank. Beautiful family. Beautiful pictures.
Jenna - LOVE these and LOVE his nursery! Maybe Hank’s mommy could provide a little DIY for the piece hanging on the wall with his initials! 🙂
christina larsen - Babies are wonderful. He is beautiful!
Robyn Farmer - I like the shot where she is kissing him. So sweet.
keely - Meredith was my roomie in college! 🙂
These are beautiful! What a handsome fella.
anne c - I am sure it helps for the babies to be absolutely adorable when taking pictures, but I think you could take a picture of something not so cute…say a dirty trash can…and I would still like it. hahahaha
Erin - Such a sweet boy. Can’t wait to see him in person! Love that cousin is there too
Carrie - You are so talented!!!!
Flea - He’s the most adorable baby ever. And I like the first of the two mommy kissing baby photos.
Thanks so much for the woodburning lesson at the Christmas event. I just stepped up to the next level with a cup and detachable pens. Woodburning ROCKS.
Margie - These pictures are making me want to have another baby! So adorable! I just read your post ‘Meet Baby Sister’ (which also made me want to have another baby) and saw her name, so beautiful and such a coincidence…..my son’s name is Finley Daniel. LOVE IT!
Jenn G. - Meredith – He is so beautiful, and the pics are amazing… Congratulations!!!
Melissa - When I saw these precious pics, I wanted to take the opportunity to show Lily & talk about her upcoming baby brother. She actually leaned forward and kissed my computer screen when she saw the sweet pic of his mommy kissing him! Then when I went to post this comment, she did her “baby” sign and “more” sign because she wanted to see them again! Amazing job Ashley!
Tammi Ledbetter - Fabulous photographs. Talented photographer. Proud mama. I recognize the “Fields” in the cute young cousin and anticipate hearing a high pitched squeal that will remind me of another Fields baby.
Shauna - After reading the Haiti post about the hat, and then looking at these beautiful pictures, I need to go find the kleenex! Thank you for sharing.

Alba - when I see the skin, the mouth, these features, I want to have another one. Normally I think that I’m done, but whenever I see or touch a tinny little baby my hormones start to shake once again.
