3.5 weeks
There are so many ideas floating around, churning and clarifying in my mind as I lie nursing or walk with Cedar, and I manage to toss a few of them in my journal or scribble a few lines on a postcard to keep in touch with friends ~ with writing ~ but mainly when I put the babe down, I want to get physical. I weed. I clean the kitchen. I cook. I revel in the freedom of motion, of not being needed while he dreams and smiles. Every day he gets bigger and changes. He seems so much older already, and I know how fast this time goes, how this whole year will go, and I just go with it, cause it'll never come back.

I love the composition and colors in this photo. I also always love your way with words. I can just imagine this, even though I haven't been there.
You know how to be in the moment, Brooke.

So very true. Sometimes it seems to me that my baby has changed during just one nap time. How can they grow so quickly?
savoring this time is so important. it sounds like you're doing brilliantly. <3
Elizabeth :: Thanks! It's a fun and interesting experience to go through, and I think writing and photographing and chronicling it has really helped me experience it more fully and process it. xo
Denise :: What a wonderful thing to hear, Denise. :) Thank you. x
I am yours :: Thank you :)
Langsam :: I too think Cedar grows heavier each time I pick him up. His faces are different too. It's so sweet and bittersweet.
Brittany :: I'm trying to appreciate it because I just know it's going to pass so fast. Soon he'll be going off backpacking to Europe or something. :(
I've been following your beautiful journey Brooke, just haven't had the time to comment (on many friends blogs). Cedar is a beautiful bub and I love the words 'I revel in the freedom of motion, of not being needed...'. Yes. I feel that too. Some days its crave more than revel :)
You're a wonderful writer.
