Sweet sleepless nights.....

Round 2 has been so much easier. so much calmer. so much more peaceful. I am not sure if it because i am now "experienced" or even Sophia is just a river of peace. Claire's first month with us was super stressful and hard...so i was expecting more of the jolt into motherhood i had first experience.

but no. i am actually just completely in-love. even having to wake up at night to feed my little peaceful babe has been sweet. maybe it is having an older little toddler breathing heavy in the next room, but i want to cherish these first weeks with all their complexities...because they do grow up. i love staring at her

and i am longing to capture these moments on camera...and wishing i was a bit more trained in how to use cameras...working with what i got. which is inspiration.

i saw these amazing new born photos by this incredible photographer...and i am SO trying to re-create that in our little home...trying is the key word.

but i definately don't have the magic. hoping the magic can be cultivated. i am declaring my twin brothers gift at percussion over my photography skills ( he played for years and was terrible. or maybe just a year. but i mean awful. awkard because no one wanted him to play with their band. and then something happened and he was incredible. boom. amazing, what of the best in our city. magic!)

funniest one...

i need an amazing crate or cool basket or turquoise pail. at least something bigger than the baby. =)
