There’s nothing like having a new baby that gets me thinking a whole lot about time…it’s ability to stand still…all the while losing complete track of it. It seems like every hour I look at my newborn babe and he has changed already in some way. His face fills out, his eyes and head follow just a little farther, he reaches out with those tightly clenched fists of his. The hours turn to days and weeks, then months to years, all too quickly. Just the mere thought of how fast time can pass by gets me all in a tizzy. I often need to stop myself and remind myself to just be here now…to stop thinking so much…and appreciate what is…the time I have to hold and cherish a little baby yet again. When I am here and stay present, I can truly appreciate the stillness that I feel in my ability to transcend that whole bit about time.
Happy four weeks Sorrel Ash. Here we are.
Lisa,
So precious. I smile thinking of the special time you are enjoying.
Love, Taryn
I am entirely with you on this one. The non-time of those first baby days and weeks is unlike any other non time. I have been remembering those days fondly recently but sadly thinking as we don’t plan anymore children I will never get those days again. And as the children grow time does fly, it un-nerves me too, staying present is my biggest challenge! Enjoy your first days and weeks x
*Swoon*! I think Sebastian had that same outfit, so cute! I’m so glad that you’re enjoying the newborn bliss; you’re right, as we get older, I think we realize how fleeting it really is.
Beautiful post! And such cute photos.
