In recognition of their first Christmas, babies and parents in the NICU at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt recently celebrated with a sweet photo session. Here are some of the photos of these tiny patients, a true gift of the holiday season.
**Please note that these pictures do not represent safe sleep practices; they were carefully created as keepsakes for the parents.**
