I am in love. This baby has absolutely stolen my heart. Baby Brody was just barely 3 weeks old when I did his “newborns”. We actually went to see Dylan & Karin in Baltimore a few days after Karin was due, hoping Brody would come out so I could could do TRUE newborns, but he had other plans. He was born on July 12th as we were driving back home. Little stinker. Three weeks later, Dylan & Karin made a trip down to SC to show him off. Before the shoot, every time I saw him he fell asleep in my arms like a little tree frog, so we were all thinking the shoot would be PERFECT since he was still super snuggly and sleepy all the time. Well, again, he had other plans 
. He was not exactly in the picture-taking mood. He was awake when we needed him to be asleep and asleep when we needed him to be awake. HOWEVER, I think we still got some good shots! Another gigantic post: I am starting off by sharing little Brody all by himself, family in the middle, and our WELCOME BRODY lake party at the end. Enjoy!!

He did fall asleep long enough for me to grab these… I can’t get enough of baby Brody in the suitcase!!
This is the only hat he would happily wear for me. That’s because he is a Gamecock fan already
He’s actually not asleep in this picture. Just faking it for a split second…
Let me just say, Brody is basically a genius child. Here he is smiling. And it gets better…
Dylan, something about this face reminds me so much of you!
Shortly before Brody was born, Dylan got a sweet tat. Brody likes it too
another smile.
Okay, here’s where it gets really interesting. Let me just remind you that Brody is 3 weeks old here. The next three shots are just to show you how genius he is. Here he is ROLLING OVER:
PUSHING UP & HOLDING HIS HEAD UP:
sitting up/holding his head up while pulling up on his mommy’s hands. Holy cow. I am impressed.
Love me some tootsies.
Perfect little guy.
We all went outside for some family shots and it was unbelievably hot. We were all pouring sweat the minute we stepped out of the car. Thank you guys for being troopers!
what a gorgeous fam!
He was supposed to be awake for all of these. Oh well.
It’s okay if he’s asleep, as long as he smiles for the camera
love from Daddy:
beautiful mama:
I love all 3 of these. Could not pick just one.
He’s even cute when he cries. He hated this hat. Sorry Kate.
The rest are pictures from the lake day. Brody was actually in a perfect mood for pictures. Glad I had my camera!
Here he is with Aunt Mary. Big yawn!
Brody with Aunt Sara I wish it wasn’t SO obvious that we aren’t related.
Here’s a better match
Sorry Dylan, I know you hate the cross-eyes, but this was too good:
He loves Aunt Mary:
Love that little face!
With Uncle Wes. Typically it is a requirement to be fully clothed (adults) if you want to make an appearance on the blog, but these were super cute
I just love how he’s looking back at Wes!
And I’m done.
Congratulations Dylan & Karin!! We love you guys and your precious little fam!
