babies

i really enjoy playing with babies:
watching how 5 micro-expressions flash on their faces in 5 seconds
their pudgy fingers and thighs
how they lay there peacefully as they are bathed
how their arms and legs are always in motion
how they are so proud when they discover a new skill, like rolling over
how they stare at you endlessly because your face is so interesting to them
how watchful they are of the things around them
how they drink from the bottle but are still looking around the room
how they are fussy if they are in one position only because they are not in another position
how they giggle so much and their smiles are so wide
their unmistakable baby smell
their soft body parts
how they barely have toenails
how pink and white they are.

i love spending time with hannah mae. she makes me love babies oh so much.
