Babiness


Today I am thankful for the time spent babysitting this beautiful angel.
My friend delivered this perfect baby girl
one month ago and I had forgotten
just how delicious a newborn could be.
Even though she slept ninety-five percent of the time
I was with her, I enjoyed every minute of it.
The sweet noises, the jerky movements, the clean fresh smell,
the little lips pursing into the shape of an O.
A smorgasbord of sensory babiness!
And the little wrinkles in that little arm...
*sigh*
So, so delightful.
Sometimes it is the most primitive simple part of being human
that bring us the most joy.

  1. My brother's wife just had a baby - they live on Maui....egads! SO far away! I'm enjoying the photos and trying to imagine all the baby deliciousness... Might just need to borrow me a new born from somewhere!
