The textures, the colors, and lack of, and of course the boy. All so cute!

P.s. Do you know something I don't?
Absolutely precious! H.R.-Tennessee
What an angel...
He is absolutely beautiful!
Those pictures are so cute!! I love how cashed out he looks in the first pic - and don't worry, we all slept on our tummy's as baby's, and as far as I know, I'm still okay! We all know you're a fabulous mom!
And yes, MckMuffin definitely looks like he's chunking up a bit! Good milk!!
My first 3 kids all slept on their tummy's - your secret is safe with me.
I L ooooooooove ♥♥ those pictures!! :)
The "alternately titled" about sleeping on his tummy made me laugh out loud. Love it.
He is getting so big. He barely looks looks like the same baby on your sidebar!! Beautiful as always.
Beautiful pictures of a perfect baby. Last one could also be titled "Look Ma, got your nose!" love the little fist. God is so good.
And for what it's worth, all of my children slept on their tummies all of the time because that was the safest way (back then)! Every baby needs some tummy time!
Alternately titled: "Too cute for words!"
Alternately titled: "Awesome photography!"
So grateful for the new lens - that way we get to see more photos of the MSC!
Thanks for sharing!

ahhh Love them! he is too precious for words!
Love the new lens, what did you get??
Scrumptious!!!
LOVE the new pics! I'm reading your 'twitters' on the sidebar and how much it has snowed there...today my almost 3-yr. old was in shorts/t-shirt washing the car with his dad. It was 73 degrees this morning! Crazy!
Love the pics. Don't worry, we won't tell the pediatrician about his sleeping position. (My 12 week old has been sleeping on her tummy for 10 weeks now!) What a blessing you have. Merry Christmas!
My son rolled over for the first time when he was 2 months old and has slept perfectly fine since then on his tummy. :)
Oh Oh Oh....SO precious! Ya know, I have some snow pictures I am about to post. I was REALLY proud of them until I saw those!;) LOL.
Your little miracle is so handsome! These photos are amazing. How do you chose which ones to frame when they are all so incredible?
Picture #3 is so awesome. It's my favorite Stellan picture, so far....
Beautiful!!! Alternate title "God Rest Ye Merry Little Gentleman"!!

Hims sooooo cute!!! he's really chunked out...how much does he weigh?
My little 2 month man is up to 13 pounds!! I love the many layers of rolls! LOL
I'm so jealous of ur camera - LOL
And in the bottom one, Stellan actually titled it himself!
Alternately titled....This family fits me to a "T"!
(His itty bitty fingers are forming a perfect sign language T!)
Ahhh..that boy is getting some meat on his bones. Awesome pictures. Sleeping, smiling, chubby, miracle baby...does it get any better?
I just love, love, love seeing that sweet goodness of a miracle baby!!
Ahhhh! Just what I needed: a Stellan fix!!! Glad you finally got your lens back (new lens).
Psst! Don't tell anyone, but we slept all FIVE of our babies on their tummies, because we think that's the way God meant babies to sleep. (otherwise their heads get all funky shaped and they get torticolis)
Love the pix and the captions!
I love picture #3! He is adorable!!!
It brought back memories of my kids when they were that young!
How precious he is!
Awww... sweet lil' Stellen ... sleep in heavenly peace. =)
LORI
Golly gee...I can't believe how much he's changed from those first hosiptal pictures. Your little boy is growing and changing so fast.
What a sweet baby! My own itty bitty newborn is now fast approaching his six-month birthday! I cannot believe how fast time passes.
In addition to having beautiful kids, you are a great photographer as well!

Referring to the last picture: I've got my mommy wrapped around my little fingers.
I have a 3 month old son and he tucks his thumb that same way between his first finger and sometimes the second finger. Cracks me up! He is simply adorable! And so snuggly on his lambie! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
oh my goodness that has made my Christmas, he is lovely. Happy Christmas little one.
cute cute cute...he's changed a lot in a few short weeks! I love it when they start getting chubbier cheeks!
so so soooooooooo cute!
Awwwwww! I love the grinning one. That's just adorable!
He's looking soooo much like a MckKiddo these days!
Love Love Love the pictures! What a little cutie!
Would you look at that sweet little, chubby-cheeked smile? That needs to be his new photo on your sidebar!!!!!! And good work with your own titles...not too shabby of a picture-namer yourself, huh? You're cracking me up with that sleeping on the tummy comment...I read the comment that that was referring to awhile ago and just rolled my eyes. Come on, people!
Do share...what kinds of lens? Is this the same one that you referred to earlier? The 50mm f/1.8 II?

i love the 3rd picture! he is just precious. i have to ask though, what is he sleeping on? it looks so fluffy and comfy.
Beautiful boy. Beautiful pictures!
Candance beat me to it... my first thought was,
Alternately titled: Got your nose!
I think my only requirement if we ever move is to have as much natural lighting as possible. And apparently snow doesn't offer as much as I imagined! Exciting you have your new lens! I'm hoping to get one in my stocking...
What lens is your favorite?!?! You shoot with Canon I believe! I am looking to get a new lens after christmas!
He is the Sweetest lil' guy!
Beautiful Photos!

"A child, a child, sleeping in the night, he will bring us goodness and light"
Sweet Stellan! He looks precious!
My babies always slept on their tummys. In fact, they still do I think, lol!
Hi,
Beautiful pictures. I was just reading your post below, and thought that I would comment on it here. I think you are right, and I have been learning a lot from your blog. I am currently reading, Created to be His Help Meet by Debi Pearl. I am enjoying the book. My question is this: How do you get over the exhaustion of it all? Let me clarify. I am just plain tired all the time. I truly feel like God has let me down. A month ago I was riding on top of the world. I had just finished a Beth Moore bible study, and I was feeling as free as a bird. Then rock bottom hit. Everything, and I mean everything starting breaking. Our dryer, washing machine, microwave, fireplace, our van. All in a two week period. I was on overload, and then the biggest wammy of all, my dh's company decided to close, as of last week. His last day was 2 days ago. I love God, but I am so mad at Him that I could spit nails. Maybe he's wanting me to trust Him more. I felt closer than ever to Him when my bible study ended. Now I feel betrayed. I feel like screaming, "WHAT NEXT?" Am I a bad Christain because I feel this way? I am just totally spent. I know there are people with worse problems. It could get worse, and probably will. Don't get me wrong, there have been blessings too this last month. How do I get out of this slump?
Oh my goodness, he is getting so big. And so adorable, awww...he is just precious. My second baby slept on his tummy, he wouldn't have it any other way..
Alternatly titled... Praising the power of prayer.
It looks like his hand is reaching up, in that angle.
Hubby gave me an early Christmas present, I'll give you a hint. The box says Cannon....He wanted me to have time to figure it out, so I can use it for Christmas. I am going to need to look back on you photography posts now. Wish me luck...
Reach out and touch someone!
I see beautiful colors, textures, and sights. Stellan is beautiful :)
~Elyse~
I love those beautiful pictures!!!
A smiley chubby boy is in the house!!
Beautiful pictures!
Love it! I wanna squeeze those little cheeks...
He is so precious and you are so blessed!
He is so sweet! I needed that!
That "T" sign is also the potty sign that I've been trying to teach my daughter for months! (As in "t" for toilet.)
I love that fuzzy thing. A couple of nights ago, Amanda went to bed with my big fluffy hat because she liked it so much.
Katie
He is SO precious, I just wanna snuggle him to pieces!!!!
MckMama,
The last picture of Stellan you posted makes me think he's saying "Mom, I have to go potty", because he's making the sign for potty! Too cute, thanks for the pictures!
~Claire
What a beautiful, chubby cheeked boy!
And he looks like he "got your nose" in the last shot!
Absolutely beautiful!
Can you teach me how to take pictures like THAT?!
...btw, I always felt guilty when they would ask me at the dr's office if they were sleeping on their back and I had to so no. They wouldn't! If anyone wanted to sleep, it was sleep on the tummy.
...sleep in heavenly peace...
"Sleep softly and carry a big fist - all the better to defend myself against being the mckyoungest."
Love the pictures, can't believe how big he is getting! All three of my children always slept on their tummies. All night (through the night by 2 weeks old) and at nap time. They never had tummy aches or gas either.
Alternately titled: Being a miracle is a hard job!
He is so cute! He is just perfect!
Great pictures!
Oh so precious!!!
I was wondering...
Do you know of any online photography classes I could take? I have a NikonD40 that I love, but don't know what to do with! haha!!
He looks so precious it makes my heart ache to hold him!!! Thankfully I did get a baby fix today with my 1 month 2 day old nephew...
i have love for stellan, and new lens envy for you! i am saving for my fav new lens...what did you get?
He is so sweet. These are beautiful pictures!
OH my uterus is ACHING!! for another baby....if only he would be just like Stellan!! Good "moomy" milk indeed
ADORABLE!
Yummmmm. Please pray God brings me a husband SOON so I can get my baby on!
the last picture would be...."I got your nose!"
What a beautiful miracle!!
Where is thumbkin?
Too cute. Such sweet pics.
we "allowed" our son to sleep on his stomach - it was the only position his upset gassy belly didn't bother him! And as soon as his belly hit the carpet he was out - like the carpet commercials!
Yoda he is not looking like! What a beautiful boy he is! I love the smiling picture--I could look at that all day!
Oh my gosh! He is getting so big already!! And those chubby little cheeks...To Cute!!! Hes a handsome little guy :)
What a precious little angel baby. He is growing up so fast and he is really filling out...you are right, you milk is doing that little boy some good (Yay for breastmilk). Enjoy those sweet cheeks!!
He is soooo sweet.
I might sleep that soundly if I had that furry thing...What is it? It looks so cozy.
So fun to see little Stellan growing - what a cutie pie he is! I wish that I could snuggle and hold him!! :-)
So sweet!!

Oh, I don't know what else to call it...but I am sleepy and really could use a corner of that sheepskin right now. Do you think there's room for me, Stellan?
Love ya, baby. Thanks for being born.

I love that last shot. I would certainly be trying that if I had won that Rebel! LOL Oh well maybe number 68 will be trying it.
Alternately titled: Perfection! He has really filled out. Thanks for giving us a Stellan fix today! =o)
precious!!
and... i let all of mine sleep on their tummies too :)
OH.MY.WORD.
Your pictures are not helping my baby cravings! Pretty soon, I might get pregnant thanks to my constant need get my baby fix via your blog! Okay, hopefully I won't because I am not ready at all, but if it happens, it happens :-)
"Let's flip. Heads I sleep all day. Tails I sleep all night."

p.s. The tummy title is my favorite.
Oh my! He really is pluming up, right before our very eyes. Gosh I can't wait to be able to take such great photos like you do. Well done!
I think your little man is trying to give Jesus a thumbs up (but just can't do it yet) in his sleep...the smile says he has seen his Creator!!
ok...seriously?! those are the cutest photos. I wish I had just a little photography skills so I could capture some moments likes those of my little one. I can not wait for the smiles. I need that little pick me up. We are 6 weeks in and have not had NEAR the struggle that you had but the sleep deprivation has kicked in and I am running on empty. I see the smiles from gas and the smiles while he is sleeping and they fill the love tank a little! also..you need to check out old navy's sales. The sales right now are amazing and the clothes are cheaper than once upon a child! I got a "small fry outfit" for my little girl and a "mcmuffin" outfit (bright stripes and a one piece) today and they are clearanced out and then an additional 50% off!! The little girl outfit total was $3.98 and the one piece was $1.98!!

Goodness....All my children slept on their tummies for some of the night.....and they are fine....for heavens sake......like any mother really sleeps witrh a newborn...we listen to every breath...back or tummy....
pure, peaceful, perfect stellan. you are making me want another baby as my 2nd child is turning 10 months old. i'm not sure my husband is quite on the same page yet, but maybe I will show him pure, peaceful, perfect stellan...then maybe he will agree. :) thanks for the beautiful pics!
I'm really awe stuck while looking at Stellan's beautiful face...
God chose HIM...reached down from heaven and touched Stellan's broken heart and made it perfect. Because of Stellan's heart, God is changing my heart...I'm learning to trust him in a new way.
Oh my gosh....L-O-V-E IT! Precious, precious baby boy!
What a perfectly cuddly sweetheart! Stellan looks great and so healthy. I could just hug him forever.
Have a really good weekend. By the way, I really appreciated your post about your marriage. What a fresh reminder to me that God is the centerpoint of everything, His will, His way and life is great! My husband and I fall more in love with each other every day and we do realize it is because of our Heavenly Father.
Prayerfully,
Karen Needham
Stellan is absolutely adorable in these pictures!!

precious little gift!
Oh, he is so gorgeous !
Please give him a kiss from our family here in Wales, UK.
So adorable! The first picture is my favorite =)
I can see him older, speaking to people in a congregation at a church, talking about the miracle that he is.
How precious!
Yep, he's certainly a MckKid. Beautiful. The sleep smile lifted all the weight off my shoulders. :o)
Those are some precious pictures! I wish I had shots like that of our little girl!
Hey I have an idea -- why don't you and the kidlets come invade our basement for a while and take pictures! Ha ha ha!
Wonderful pictures!
He's beautiful! And I absolutely envy your photography skills. *swoon*
I have the same camera.... what new lens did you just get?
He really has filled out nicely, hasn't he? Atta boy, S!
Do you mind if I ask what new lens you bought? I'm in the market for a prime, and I love hearing reviews of others.
Thank you, MckMama.
So preciously precious.
Still praying in PA.

To all commenters: I know most babies sleep fine on their tummy's but please remember SIDS. Parents must make the choice about how their baby sleeps for themselves, I get it, I'm really ok with it. Clearly everyone commenting about Stellan being fine on his belly has heard the advice about very young babies sleeping on their backs instead of their belly. Clearly everyone commenting has their own years of experience to back them up. Just please also know that research has shown belly sleeping to be a possible contributor to SIDS and back/side sleeping to possibly prevent SIDS. I know babies who must belly sleep due to various medical conditions, or those who truly will not sleep on their backs. I know this isn't a simple or black and white issue. I just can't not speak my peace about this.
He is so yummy...I want to snuggle under his chin, his cheeks and his belly. xox
He is absolutely perfect! And if sleeping on his belly with his Mama watching (or not watching) makes him happy then let sleeping babies lie!
Oh Dear...I don't know how to say this but I know a family who lost their little girl because they laid her on one of those lambs wool type blanket that you have your little one laying on in those pictures. The little girl spit up and couldn't get up and smothered to death.
Love your blog.
he is so precious!
Alternately titled.... This little hand has been touched by the hands of God.
How sweet is he? Too sweet for words. :-)
PS- I let my Emma sleep on her tummy when I'm watching her. No judgement here my friend! :-)
Mcmuffin is so precious~what a sweetie. McMama,you and PC are so blessed with such beautiful children.~Darlene
Happy Holiday's from my house to yours.
Can I come snuggle your kids? They are all so precious!!! :)

Beautiful as always!
These pictures make me smile! Thank you for sharing your sweet family with all of us!
OMG! Those are the sweetest pictures of MckMuffin. He is adorable!!!
Those are the most precious pics!!
All need to be framed..such a handsome lil' fella :)
Hugs
Terri
He is so sweet.....I could eat him up!!
OH MY GOODNESS! Is he the cutest, most adorable, most precious thing ever?? I think so! :) Every time you have another baby, I can see why! You and PC make such beautiful ones! ;) Not that I'm saying to, you know, get to work on any more beautiful babies anytime soon ;) tee hee
P.S. - loved your card!
So so so so cute!!! :D my first time on your site. i love your pics and your site! :)
I am IN LOVE with those cheeks!
Hi!!!
What a cutie! I must say...I'm an Interpreter for the Deaf and Stellan is making a perfect letter 'T' :) Which means 'bathroom' or 'potty' or 'I have pottied...need to go potty', etc! lol
Had to point that out!
Take care,
Bethany in Michigan
