Awake

Published on Tuesday July 10th, 2012

This series is from the same day as the snail romper pictures, taken when Jolyon was twelve days old. I like the challenge of capturing these fleeting infant looks and gestures; like the squeaky barnyard noises he makes as he struggles up from slumber, they’ll be gone in a few weeks as he gains control of his muscles. The expressions he makes by his own effort will be more charming, but right now I love the way they shift like clouds before a raveling wind.

The Statesman

Astonishment

Inquiry

And, currently, Hunger. It’s back to Job Number One for this mama, downloading calories into an eager little being. Knitting content coming soon, I swear…

    Hail, the little people! They seem so wise while still at the mercy of their digestion and passing whims of their musculature. It takes quick work with the camera indeed, well captured my dear!

    He is adorable. Everyone is right. Baby faces are super expressive even from the earliest ages.

    Oh, look at that darling boy! He’s gorgeous, Sarah. I need to get a few minutes together to sit down and knit for myself – I have had a hat planned for him for a bit now and no time to knit it. He’s growing so fast, and he’s so beautiful.
