Adam Richardson - miracle baby!

Little Adam had a tough start in the world.  Born on New Years Day, after a very difficult birth he spent two weeks in ICU, where the doctors couldn't make any guarantees on whether he'd pull through or not.  After a really difficult and emotional couple of weeks, spent with tubes going in an coming out and constant monitoring by medical staff, the little man made it through and finally went home.

Little Adam was featured in one of our earlier posts, "Baby Jamaal Richardson" (his name has improved dramatically).  This however would be his first photo shoot on the "outside" and our first newborn shoot.

Due to his rough start Adam has regular visits to his doctor and every milestone reached is a small miracle, but this little man is the happiest little dude ever and seems to be making giant leaps down the road to recovery.

And while Adam is truly beautiful his fingers and toes are my best bits.  So small (his mom is convinced they're HUGE), delicate and perfect.

Holding on to mom's hand tight - just in case the scary photographers try steal him (which they keep threatening to do.)...

And while there were plenty of smiles (no giggles just yet), as soon as the camera was in the little man's face, the smile turned to curiosity.  But still, that doesn't mean that the fella isn't the perfect model...

And when he was done with being the centre of attention he let us know with a big yawn...

And almost as we had finished packing up, and The Guy was holding Adam over his shoulder, we managed to get one more perfect photo of him.

Live strong little man.
