Parts and Pieces

I confess, I am a starer. When I am putting Keaton to bed at night, he sometimes falls asleep while feeding. And I usually hold him... and study him. I love the way his foot rests on the arm of the rocking chair. I love how his eyes flutter a little bit as he drops into deep sleep. I love the way his chubby hand still holds my finger even when he is out.

I did the same when Nathan was a baby, and still sometimes catch myself studying his foot or his ear. Maybe I just want to remember these early days.. these baby parts and pieces.
