The series below attempts to capture the cycle of those first days...sleep, yawn, nurse, immediately followed by deep sleep...
Missing here from these first-week photos should be several shots: Catherine bouncing Frankie on a yoga ball while and patting out a rhythm, her magic soothing trick...and Marianne singing "You are my sunshine" in her pregnant belly body, while tearing up...and the last of his underwater-skin peeling away...and the way his face looked like a tiny glowing moon at night, when I was unable to sleep...when I just needed to look at him some more...
I was singing him Gracie's songs...and he liked them! Also...It's a Sunshine Day...You're Never Dressed Without A Smile...Tomorrow...of course none of them were on key...but that's just Auntie Marianne! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures and the video! Crazy that I've already forgotten about the little squeaks and coos. It goes so fast! Enjoy every second. I can't wait to meet him. And his cousins can't wait to meet him, too!
