Alexis Priscilla

Alexis Priscilla is the tiniest baby I've ever seen in person. At one week old she weighed in just under 6 lbs (do I have that right mom?) and has the most delicate features. She's beautiful and making mommy and daddy very happy.

It's sometimes hard to tell if newborns are boys or girls. But one look at the pink camoflauge blanket, purple tutu and that big pink bow show that she's all girl.

Dad is a living history buff and former military, so honoring the past and capturing this part of him was important. Being small enough to curl inside this World War II helmet, (although as you see she didn't love the idea), made for an interesting contrast. She was mad and angry at us, but making a strong image none the less... then a thoughtful comment was made by dad that sacrifices were made so that she could be here. Really she was much more content cuddled in daddy's arms for her photographs.
