Baby Jackson | McMinnville Newborn Photography { frogs and faeries }

Baby Jackson wins the prize for the most alert newborn yet! He was so awake and happy - just chillin' while I got everything set up and ready for him. I took him thinking, "Oh, yeah. I've got this. I'll get 'cha to sleep, buddy." At the same time, I believe that Jackson was thinking, "Oh, no, you won't, lady!"

So, I swaddled him all nice and tight and started rocking and swaying him. And rocking. And swaying. And rocking. And swaying.

Jackson won Round 1.

"Hmm . . . I'm not so sure about this lady . . . "


"Ok, she might be kinda funny . . . "


Round 2

More rocking and swaying. A little help from Mom with a feeding. More rocking and swaying.

I win Round 2. (I always win!)

Ahh, so peaceful. I love this one.

Then, Jackson wakes up again for just a bit. Love the eye contact here!
