I took these pictures of Griff today. I am by no means a photographer, I wish I was. What's up with the need to take pictures every five seconds with a new baby. I think it is my attempt to hang on to these first precious moment that go by too fast. Part of me wants to bottle Griffin up and do all I can to keep him just five days old. I just love his smell, his softness, his funny unconscious smiles, and especially those newborn squeaks. The other part, which is reality, understands that we can't go on like this forever. Eventually Devin will have to return to work and eventually I will need to get sleep in larger increments than two hours. So life must go on and Griffin must turn six days old. You can bet I will be all over him all along the way with this camera, just hoping to capture the reality of these first sweet days.
