Amy and the Giant Peach

I have just discovered the most amazing way to spend the afternoon.

Shortly after Jackson goes down for his afternoon nap, I feed Hannah until she’s milk-drunk. Then I eat the most delicious peach you’ve ever tasted, then take Hannah upstairs to nap with me.

I drift in and out of sleep–hearing the school bus drop outside with kids yelling down the street, the breeze of my fan floating over my face.

And Hannah’s neck on the top of my arm. One small turn to the right and our cheeks meet.

I had forgotten what it feels like when you first fall in love with your baby.

Here is a beautiful video that my friend shared on Facebook, and it is really capturing where my heart and head are at right now. What advice would you give to yourself right before you had your first baby?
