baby erik

it's pretty fun to watch first-time parents in action... usually, they remind me of when my husband and i were trying to figure it all out those first few weeks. we felt so clueless being in charge of that tiny, adorable, screaming baby... many times, we would just look at each other and laugh hysterically because, seriously - how in the world were we ever allowed out of the hospital with such an enormous responsibility? 

last weekend, i spent some time with the halls for their holiday session... and as i watched them clean spit-up off of themselves and baby erik over and over (and over) again, i realized how effortless they made it all seem - they looked like seasoned professionals.

and truth be told, i felt a teeny bit jealous. :)
