When I see photos like this, I wish I could turn back the clock and take better photos of my babies! This is so precious, what a special moment.

I'm with Shauna.

Okay, you are killing me here. I thought that baby-making impulse was strong within me (that's the force for me these days), until I saw this.

Want. baby. now.

So beautiful.

thanks.

Posted by: shauna at January 4, 2007 09:22 AM

I love photos like that. So beautiful!

Wish I had one of me and my kid like that, he liked sleeping on ME! Now that he's thirteen I think trying to recreate such a scene would be awkward.

Aw.

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

I love your pictures lately, they have a softness and depth that they didn't have before you had the new wee one. Your photographs have always been beautiful, but now they feel like the digital equivalent of a dusty book from a forgotten library or a vintage vinyl record played on a rainy morning or an old persons hand. I could bust out my photo knowledge and say that it is the nifty new camera or the high iso, grain, lens, soft light, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe.

I think it is that you are a mother now and it has made your art, like your life, even more delicious.

Wondrous.

Can't wait to see more shots. You guys are so very lovely to look at.

Much love to you.

--D.

SO beautiful. Have you ever experienced such peace as when he's sleeping?

Posted by: Teri at January 3, 2007 08:27 PM

Oh...so adorable! Ben looks just like a little "mini-me" next to Matt. :)
How wonderful to see such a lovely bond between father and son.
Your posts and photos are such a delight.
Blessings to the 3 of you.
xoxo, Julia

Can you imagine what it must be like to fit so snuggly inside someone's hands? And when he feels your breath, it's probably like a tropical breeze. He's living the life -- both your guys are here.

Enjoying all your lovely pics. Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Nina at January 3, 2007 04:26 PM

May this be one of the first of your many love-filled family photos.

Treasure every golden moment.

too damn cute...

Posted by: deezee at January 3, 2007 02:45 PM

Great picture! My baby girl was born 12/7 and her favorite place to sleep is also on my husband's chest. There is nothing better that seeing the two of them resting together. This is my first baby too and it has been a wild and wonderful ride so far. Isn't this the best adventure ever?

Posted by: Angie at January 3, 2007 02:35 PM

I don't think it's legal for a photo to be so. darn. cute.

Posted by: Adrienne at January 3, 2007 02:32 PM

mg. their little forehead hairs are so cute.

Posted by: heidi at January 3, 2007 02:16 PM
