I have a big photo update coming your way from our trip to Zoo Blooms and the Butterfly Show at Franklin Conservatory these past few weekends, but Gavin is starting to stir in his crib and I'm on limited time here, so for right now, I just want to share some pictures from Gavin's spring photos with Jennifer Rose Photography and Baylor's pseudo-successful 3D/4D ultrasound:

We are really happy with how they turned out, especially because they are from a mini-session and you never really know if you'll get any good shots in such a short period of time.  Of course, my favorites are the ones where Gavin is smiling (since I think his smile is the cutest thing in the whole world) -- but I really think each of them captures his personality at this stage.  He's constantly on the move, constantly needing to be wrangled, and full of expression and joy.  He's my little heartbreaker.  :)

And now for Little Miss Baby's close-up:

As I mentioned, this one picture took THREE ATTEMPTS.  Baylor seems most comfortable when she has her hands in her face -- Gavin was the same way -- so a good, clear 3D/4D shot was hard to come by.  In fact, we were so sure we wouldn't get any pictures this time that Stephen didn't even come with me yesterday, but thankfully, the tech was able to score a cute picture of our princess with her arm only partially blocking her face.  I love it, because we actually have a really similar shot from Gavin's 3D/4D ultrasound at 30 weeks:

Stephen thinks Baylor has puffier cheeks than Gavin (which I can't even fathom, since Gavin's cheeks look perpetually stuffed with marshmallows), but otherwise, we're thinking they look adorably similar.  I'm so excited to meet her and see Gavin in his role of big brother.

Also, I may or may not have bought this outfit for Baylor last night (in anticipation of another disappointing ultrasound), prompting Stephen to say that he may or may not ever let me out of the house to "run errands" again, haha:

Okay, that's a KOALA holding a CAMERA.  Have you ever seen a more perfect outfit for the daughter of someone obsessed with both Australia and photography?  I mean, COME ON!  Little Miss has way too many clothes -- we knew this would happen, despite our claims that we learned our lesson from Gavin, blah blah blah -- but if Stephen can buy fifteen Bengals outfits for our son, I figured it wouldn't be a big deal to buy this little cutie for OUR little cutie.  (Quite frankly, I'm shocked Stephen isn't IMPRESSED that I didn't buy the whole koala collection from Gymboree!)

That's all for now.  Bobby and Stephen are finishing the crib tonight, and then I get so start decorating the nursery, so stay tuned for lots of photos from both our recent and upcoming adventures!  This time of year is so fun.
