Meet 'Butternut Squash'... this is what her mom lovingly calls her while she looks into her eyes. Which, I gotta tell ya, is much more endearing than 'Fuzzbucket', which is what I used to call my own daughter...
Brings me back to those first weeks of motherhood. The absolute awe and amazement of it all. Funny how time lets us forget the sleep deprivation, the hard work and the feeling of complete helplessness we feel when they cry... We remember the way they smell, the softness of their skin, the look of absolute trust in their eyes, the silly names we gave them... Beautiful. I miss it.
We had the pleasure of spending some time with this particular little miracle today. She was a real trooper too! She actually slept like an angel through most of it - which made our job really easy ;) A real life sleeping beauty... I think the best part for us was when her dad brought up his instruments... A guitar & a bass drum... Part of the reason I love going into people's spaces is because we can roll with the ideas as they come. The above shot of her curled into the guitar case says so much about her dad... So much about what her life might be like - filled with music...
Amazing isn't it? Just how much love the world has for such a small being... It's clear that this little one has her entire entourage wrapped neatly around her little finger... And it's clear to my why. She's absolutely precious. I left her home feeling happy. Happy that she has such wonderful people around her... Happy those people have HER around them... Happy we got to witness it...
