New Baby Monkey Photos! OK guys, I was able to get Jane to give me the OK to share some baby pictures with you!

I'm a photographer and out of all of those photo's the feeding shot is by far the most beautiful shot there! What an amazing moment!

I can't believe I forgot to check here for new entries, so I missed these. SO CUTE! I do similar things with the cropping out of identifiable information. You did a great job with balancing that and getting fantastic pictures.

I, like so many others, absolutely adore that nursing shot. That is gorgeous.

I like the breastfeeding one the best as well. My guy stopped right at a year and since he is definitely our last I was so totally bummed. I also wanted to say I love his long little fingers. Thank you again for sharing with us.

Thanks for that link @Avalea and thanks @Sarcastica!

@TechyDad, very much appreciated! If you don't mind, could you email it to me? Jane gets SO MANY DM's on Twitter it's nearly impossible to keep up with. Most of it is spam and/or links to everyone and their brother's websites. LOL Hard to sift through those. I do suggest you putting it up on your blog - I'm sure others would like that and appreciate the sample watermark creation. I owe you one!

Tarzan,

I wouldn't mind at all. I'll package something together for you this weekend. It's pretty easy to use. You run a script, tell it which folder to process, and it does everything for you in the background. I'll even work up a sample watermark for you to use. I'll DM you on Twitter when it's done. Might even package this up & post it on my website also for anyone else who's interested.. Minus the HisBoysCanSwim or TechyDad watermarks, of course.

I love ALL of them, but my favourite one is the one where Jane is breastfeeding and he's looking up at her. PRICELESS. I have a few of Nolan and I like that, and they are amazing.

I'd say you are doing just fine with your editing. Heck I'm glad your vision works good enough to focus on something long enough to complete it! LOL! I can't say the same for myself after my first born entered the world.

And how lame that someone is copying the pictures. Try watermarking them. I've used:

I'm sorry that you are even having to address that at all. Anywho, put that baby on your chest and grab a nap! Now! Get off the computer! Serious! ;-)

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Glad you liked them! And yes, everyone guessed right: my favorite is the one with Mommy Jane breastfeeing Monkey. :)

Side note: Right now Jane is breastfeeding Monkey and more noises are coming out of his bottom than we've ever! Bubbling wet spooters - they sounded serious and Jane is checking to see what the damage is now... huh. Sounded a lot worse than it is. Just a little poop. (A topic I will be blogging about VERY soon!)

I don't have a lot of time at the moment, lot's to do in a short amount of time and want to quickly reply to some of your comments:

@madge... LOLOLOL! Jane and I laughed out loud at that one! We're very happy that Jane doesn't have long black hairs coming from her breast. LOL :)

@TechyDad... If you wouldn't mind, that would be great! Is it easy to use?

@Tori... Jane and I laughed at this and realized that you're 100% right! Our photos will be "Neighbor Wilson" style. LOL

I love the XCU of Monkey breastfeeding. So sweet. TFS.

I think I know which one is your favorite ; ) It's obvious. They are all super adorable. He is such a cutie!!! Congrats guys!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful baby pictures! Monkey has very pretty eyes.

Love the one with Jane breastfeeding. It's beautiful. I loved watching my girls breastfeed (still breastfeeding my youngest at 7 months). I read your last post and the best piece of advice is if Jane is struggling with breastfeeding to seek out a lactation consultant. I went to one as I had troubles in the beginning and it saved my breastfeeding relationship. 2nd most important is once Jane feels up to it, have her search out local moms groups. Having other moms to vent/ask questions to is invaluable. I wish you both all the best and that between 6-12 weeks things will suddenly get MUCH better.

bfeeding pic is adorable!

I love the last one. Monkey's hand is so tiny, yet looks so old. I guess being birthed will do that to a Monkey :-)

The breastfeeding photo is absolutely my favorite. You should put that one in Monkey's nursery! Nursing is really hard at first, but tell Jane that it does get easier--and it is so worth it!

I really love all the pics, but have to agree that the nursing one is my fave too! I just love the emotion and the beautiful blue eye of Baby T! I breastfed all my 3 girls, so this brings back great memories of infancy for me too. Your blog and twitter posts have been wonderfully enchanting and humorous. I can't wait to read about life with Baby T--post pregnancy

Those are great!!!! I love them all, but the breastfeeding photo is certainly the best. What a beautiful moment :)

I love love love the one of baby T breastfeeding. Its so ADORABLE! The hands are cute but the eye really stands out in the breastfeeding picture. Great shots! Keep it coming!

Oh I love the pics of your baby boy. I love how you made his little eye sparkle in the breastfeeding photo. I can't wait to breastfeed our little one when she comes. It looks so peaceful and sweet. But I know it's a tough job! Tell Jane to keep up the good work and thanks for sharing these sweet photos.

You've got yourself a little Monkey angel there guys! :) Great photog work there New Papa! Just a little funny aside, before I scrolled down to the pictures, when I read the "since they don't show his entire face" part, I pictured a sort of Home Improvement "Neighbor Wilson" sort of thing LOL. Like Monkey would always be hiding his mouth behind a blanket or some random toy!

I love the nursing pic... Monkey looks just perfect... Love the way you capture his eye!

All of the photos are beautiful and I love what you have done with them. I agree with everyone else that the photo of Jane nursing Monkey is by far the sweetest. It definitely captures the moment and will be with you forever. TechyDad is right, we have a no nursing photo policy at our house. Of course this was mostly put into practice when our then 4 year old received a digital camera when I had our new little guy. I was not in the mood to deal with that and it was a rule he could understand. Enjoy taking lots of photos and playing with Photo Shop.

I love the nursing photo. It's beautiful.:)

I saw the breastfeeding one and was like wow, thats the fav, I KNOW IT! then I read the comments and clearly im not the only genius lol. ITs a touching shot, definitely the favorite, great job :)

Without a doubt the breastfeeding closeup! What gorgeous eyes he has! Thank you for posting these. Plus, let Jane know, even though Monkey is assuredly a very cute baby, at that age, they really are hard to distinguish. I bet no one would be able to recognize Monkey on the street from photos at this age! That probably won't be true for long, though, as he grows into his own features and personality.

I have to agree, the one with breast feeding and hes looking up at her. Those are the moments that make it all worth while. A mom, gazing down in to her childs eyes as she feeds them. So precious. Congrats on the beautiful baby.
As for people stealing your pictures, way wrong!

I dont know if anyone has posted this link.
But it is GREAT information to learn how to pump correctly. (If you go down that road.. or maybe someone reading this could use it.)
It was done by Stanford University. It's fabulous! :)

Tarzan,

About the people who take photos from your blog. I've taken to watermarking my photos. I've noticed that your watermarks are on the bottoms of the photos. That's good, but they can be trimmed off in most cases. I made a semi-transparent "stamp" which gets affixed to the images via a script that I wrote. Check out some of the photos on my blog. If you like how that watermark is done, I'd be more than happy to send you the script and help you get set up using it.

The breastfeeding picture is my favorite, as well. That's one thing I really miss, and wish I could have breastfed my daughter longer. *sigh*

@devaskyla, I don't have any nursing shots either. I don't think TheAngelForever would let me take any. And if I posted any online... well, I wouldn't be typing this today! ;-)

LOVE the nursing one! So beautiful!

How beautiful!! I love the nursing photo - take lots of those - it is something that I wish I had done with my son!

I'm guessing the breastfeeding one. It brought tears to my eyes. (I'm 15 weeks pregnant and hormonal too!!)

It is a beautiful picture. I am glad you shared it with us.

I LOVE the one of Jane breastfeeding Baby T! Its so beautiful!

Love the nursing shot! 3 kids & I don't have any close up nursing shots like that. It's wonderful.

I'll agree with others on the breastfeeding photo being my favorite. Not just because it captured a beautiful mother-baby moment, though. I love how you made it black & white but kept the color in Monkey's eyes. Very cool effect. (One that I've used also from time to time.)

what a great breastfeeding picture!

I would dare guess the picture of him eating will be the favorite. He is very alert and has gorgeous blue eyes :-) Thanks for sharing these with us and looking for more in the future. Please enjoy him and try to relax with everything that is going on!! You guys sound very normal and right on track as far as I can tell. Looking forward to reading about Jane's beautiful birthing experience. Best of luck to you guys!!!!!

Gorgeous. Of course, I'm partially to the breastfeeding photo. My own baby's photo is on my blog. She's just a couple days younger than yours.

The breastfeeding photo makes me smile. It is WONDERFUL.

I love the one with Jane breastfeeding. There was a cat hair on my computer screen, and for a second, I thought this long black hair was coming from Jane's breast=) He has beautiful eyes.

No contest! I like the nursing photo best! Beautiful!

What fantastic photos. I have a feeling that your favorite is Monkey having a meal! It's such a precious picture. Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to read all about labor and delivery. :D

Okay not to be a freak or anything but my fav would be the one where Jane is breastfeeding lil Monkey! That is so beautiful!!! You really captured the moment that moms share with their little ones while feeding them. There is nothing more precious then that special look that only your baby can give you! If only only for a moment it makes you forget how tired you are and how much pain you may be in. LOVE IT!!!

GORGEOUS!!!
