Matteo - 7 days old {Edmonton newborn photographer}

I had the pleasure of photographing Matteo last weekend. He was such a gentleman and slept for pretty much the entire session. Here's a few of my favs of this adorable little guy :)

Coen is ONE!

….and just like that a year has gone by and my baby boy is 1! (His birthday was October 30th for those that don't know). This has been the most amazing year ever. I feel so lucky every day that I get to hang out with such an amazing little boy. I have learned so much over the past year and am so grateful every day that we have this happy little guy in our lives.

With Coen turning 1 comes the end of my maternity leave, and I can honestly say that I have loved every moment of being home with him. October was my last month of mat leave and we definitely made the most of it. I may have taken just a few too many pictures of him, but what else is new.
We enjoyed a gorgeous fall this year and even made it to prairie gardens adventure farm with a bunch of friends. I share a birthday month with this little guy, and celebrated a lovely quiet birthday with my 2 boys. Coen's cake smash was by far my most favorite cake smash to date … likely because well it was my baby doing it, but he also made me so proud by diving in without any coaxing from us :) We also had a small birthday party for him with some close friends and family, which was a super fun day.
We finished off the month with Halloween! He was definately the cutest dragon on the block ;)

So as of 1 year he:

- is WALKING!!! He started the week before he turned 1!
- is the happiest little dude pretty much all the time :)
- loves clapping and anyone that will clap along with him
- loves snuggling with blankets, stuffed animals and best of all ... MOM! (and Dad too of course)
- is curious about everything and constantly on the move
- can get into pretty much anything and everything if he puts his mind to it
- is sporting a pretty good head of hair ... so soft and fluffy!
- is a fantastic eater (lets hope this keeps up into toddlerhood). He enjoys indian, thai, sushi, chinese pretty much everything we eat, it's awesome. Fruit is definately his favorite though.
- can do an awesome "high five" and "medium one" (yes that's right a medium one … this was
 all his Dad but it's seriously too cute)

Here are a few of my favs from the past month … well perhaps more than just a few ;)
