One year old does so big with big smiles

 

I spent Saturday morning with Henry and his parents at a park near their home.  He shared his favorite talent of doing “so big” many times.  You may recognize Henry from my website.  He is the adorable little newborn inside the bucket on my splash page….and now he’s 1!

The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
And the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
Because there had never been anyone like you… ever in the world.

Not once had there been such eyes,
Such a nose,
Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.

For never before in story or rhyme
(not even once upon a time)
Has the world ever known a you, my friend,
And it never will, not ever again.

It has been a busy summer of newborns. Taking photos of all of these loved babies is a wonderful way to spend a summer!

Thank you all for sharing your new ones with me in their first days of life!
