{ Kalin :: Newborn }

Friday, September 11, 2009

My very good friends, Laura and Matt, were recently blessed with their first child. Little Kalin was brought into this world on August 25, 2009 at 3:07pm. He’s perfect. I mean, truly, in every way, he is a perfect little bundle of life and wonder. I’m sure mommy and daddy will disagree a teeny bit, seeing as they’re the ones who are up with him all night long and changing his less-than-perfect little diapers ;) But other than that, he is wonderful. And amazing. And he’s theirs! Half Laura, half Matt… he’s going to be one very cool little human being. :)

Hey Kalin – newborns are supposed to be sleepy for their photo sessions! You must not have gotten that memo. Hey, excuse me, mister. No sticking your tongue out at me! Okay, fine. You’re lucky you’re so stinkin’ cute. ;)
