I fell for this little guy and I think you will see why quickly.
I know the first days are a blurr. No showers, little sleep, and running around looking for your sanity. Who hasn't felt like a rock star after you've been wet on once or twice by a tiny newborn. However, love just pushes you thru all that. Of course it is super easy for me to fall for this soft angle and say that, I handed him back to mom after a few hours. The point of this is, we forget. We forget the hard stuff and some of the magical stuff, like the tiny wrinkles on the bottom of their feet. Today we practiced remembering, by freezing every delicate imprint of this tiny person on camera. I feel extra special that I got to do it. It warms me inside thinking that a long time from now someone will look at these and say, "hey look at dad", or even, "hey look at my grandpaw".
Take the time, it doesn't matter what kind of camera you own or what kind of photographer you are. It just matters that you take the time to document it.
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher's mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again. ~Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968
