two months

two months of falling in love and doing what mothers do.  

lately indy likes to sleep the last hour in the morning in my arms.  if i try to stay in bed with him, he writhes and grunts.  but, if i take him out to the couch and hold him in my arms he sleeps peacefully for another hour and this way the others can continue to sleep peacefully too.  i don't do much but stare at his face and sit in a daze of sleepiness.  today i took these iPhone photos to mark his two month birthday yesterday.  i feel a great sense of contentment on mornings like these when we are the only two together in the house (not in the bedroom) with the sunlight spilling into the room.  my thoughts are full of love and gratitude to be the mother of another beautiful boy.  i love watching them, playing with them, listening to them, being with them.  it is so dreamy to have another baby to hold close and marvel at.  the second time around it is so much easier to sit and stare, to relax into the stillness that mothering brings.
