A few months ago I had the opportunity to photograph the miracle baby of a few friends of mine.  He really was a miracle.  They had tried and tried for many years to conceive on their own, and for some reason, a baby kept eluding them.  They were even on the books at a local clinic to start the IVF process in a few short months.  Then – TA DA!  Egg and sperm meet, implant, and momma starts to grow a healthy baby boy.  And I mean healthy!  He weighed in at over 10 1/2 pounds at delivery!

So, because of his size at birth, he was not one of those ‘feed me and I’ll sleep for hours and be super cooperative for you” kind of babies.  Nope.  Mom and dad brought him in and he was wide awake.  The entire time.  3 hours in fact.  The only time he would remotely close his eyes was when he was attached to a nipple or sucking one of dad’s fingers.  Enjoy!
