little lines

at 12 days old, you have more faces and more personality than any other baby i've ever known. you are truly your parents' child.

this, love, is your sweet face right after you've nursed.

those eyes. those eyebrows. those sweet red creases on your warm soft cheeks. looking straight up to me like you know.

i'm here to love you. cherish you. nourish you and protect you.

and by God's grace that's just what I'll do.
