When Solomon was a week old my friend Malina came over to conduct his first photo shoot! She's so talented and artsy that when she came to visit us in the hospital I weaseled her into doing this for me! I'm so glad that I did!
First we put a blanket over the couch (and before that, a garbage bag in case of emergency) and sprawled Solomon out on it in only his birthday suit. We cranked up the heat first so he'd be comfortable. The thing about most of these pictures is that somehow there's a funny camera angle, almost like a fishbowl angle and it distorts how his body. So I'll just post the one I like the most. Also she took lots of pictures of his little body parts: feet, hands, lips, eyes, etc. The idea is that I'll get around to bookbinding a special book for this and have it forever. We'll see if it really happens!

Malina insisted we take some pics of mom and baby. I wasn't thrilled about this, but after scurrying off to throw on some makeup I agreed to it. I'm so glad she talked me into it, as they yielded some wonderful pictures. 
This is the one I ended up using for my birth announcement. 
This one should be cuter than it is. I'm not sure what that means exactly. Probably something to the affect that I"m a new mom and I just can't decide on 'one' picture because every one is precious to me. What a dork!
Finally, Sollie ended his first photo shoot with his binky and blanket
He found the whole thing rather blase', and drifted off for a nap!
