And Then There Was Six

I just wanted to jump on quickly today to share our newest family photos that we had taken a month ago by the very talented Ali from Bella Photo.

It means so much to have all my kids so close in age. It’s like giving them built in friends, something I’m so thankful that I have. We may have fought quite a bit along the way, but now that we’re all adults, we’re closer than ever.

We had these photos done when Rhett was exactly a month and wow, he’s grown so much since then. This kid has steadily gained 1 pound a week since we got out of the NICU. He’s the best little eater and the cutest little pork chop. If you follow me on my Instagram you’ll know I often talk about how he wont let me put him down. But that’s totally okay with me right now as he will soon not need me as much.

We have his first big hearing test on tuesday for his hearing in his left ear. Well, lack of hearing as he’s deaf in that ear. So we hope to slowly find out some positives. His development has been slowly behind as well. No smiles for us yet and he doesn’t really seem like a two month old. I still view him as a newborn. Then in september we have a ton of tests that will be done on his kidneys, throat and we see a specialist to start talking about his reconstructive surgeries on his ear and jaw. This poor little dude!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy scrolling through the photos. I’m in love with how they turned out. In our favorite place ever – our bed!
