My goal is to get pictures and post one of Troy every day for awhile. We’ll see how long I can keep it up without missing a day.? :)??? Because he can’t regulate his temperature well due to prematurity (and mottles badly and quickly), I am limiting my shoot time each day.?? I am a little sad that we missed his first week due to hospitalization and that prematurity keeps me from taking all the shots I would like to right now.? (He needs to eat more so I am trying not to tire him out).?? Even though he is still several weeks before his due date, out of womb time is out of womb time and they get more and more alert really fast.? Troy wants to sleep snuggled in my arms and is not a fan of being out of my arms.? He has been a fiesty little subject for me to photograph and family (including Tanner) are giggling at how hard he makes mama work.? My mom and I were cracking up trying to get this one shot because he kept sprawling all over the place and didn’t want to stay tucked up.? Funny thing is, he is the scrunchiest baby I have ever held.? All my kiddos balled up pretty tight as newborns but Troy takes it to another level.? He curls up into the tightest little ball when I hold him and it actually makes him difficult to hold sometimes because it feels like you are supporting a softball against your shoulder (he really is barely bigger than a softball when balled up (I’ll prove it tomorrow ;).

What is awesome about him fighting mama on his photo shoot time is that he is just downright scrappy.? :)? He has a lot of fight in him and I love to see that.? (Preferably NOT when I am shooting though).?? Must go – baby needs me.? More tomorrow.

Happy 4rth!
