The Kladakises.

I walked into the house, washed my hands and sat down on the ground to introduce myself to Theo. Ironically, he smiled just as I said his name! I squealed and grabbed my camera and he smiled again. He used up all his sleep smiles while greeting me, so I was glad I caught this! 😍

Sometimes I enjoy watching new parents as much as the baby. 🥰

So handsome!!

That quick slide into cross eyed. 😆Makes me burst into giggles every time, which typically startles their eyes right back. 🤣

He found dad’s hand to be a good substitute for a binky!

One of the random things sitting in the catch all room was Amanda’s fur from their wedding! I recognized it immediately and thought it perfect for Theo. He snuggled in very quickly!

Hard to see, but on the left, he’s smiling! And look at that perfect face on the right!!

He’s actually petite but the way he was being held, his little man belly had him looking like a grandpa resting his arms.

Between Amanda and her mom’s skills, they created all the decor in the nursery!

I love this. Though she was functioning on broken minutes of sleep, sore from her cesarean and nursing, and just all around deep in the throws of all that is exhausting postpartum, she’s still brilliant. Beautifully content with this new life unfolding in her arms. Yo go mama. You’re doing wonderfully. 💞

They had moved in during the pregnancy and just gotten their bedroom furniture, some the day before!

😍😍😍

Sweet wittle cheeks!!

That delirious laughter.

As I pulled up, I thought, we need to pop out and grab a shot of this cute little ‘American Dream’ house where they brought the beeb home to!

Hopefully the last few days have been a little better for rest. John, keep being awesome to that bride of yours. Dads don’t always recognize how.much.work. moms are doing and you seem to have been right there at the ready. I love that for her. You’re a great team and Theo is so blessed to have you both. Enjoy all the snuggles, he’ll be shoving all the things in his mouth before you know it. 😭 Heart, Melanie
