Spread Your Wings, Butterfly // newborn shoot

Listen/Play:  10 Butterfly

 

Butterfly...
close your eyes, butterfly
Fold your wings
Dream sweet dreams, butterfly.

sweet baby aiden, 

you sweet little boy... 

when i first met you, you were a loved little lump in your mommy's tummy. 

look  at you now, you sweet butterfly

you are the smile upon your mother's lips,

the tenderness in your father's caress,

every inch of you a miracle...
 
the tuft of your hair 

the landscape of your feet

every crevice revealing the promise of your great journey to come...

the sweetness of your rumpled, perfect skin

 

you are the joy in your parents' hearts

the sweet coo ringing in the ears 

Butterfly,
close your eyes, butterfly,
fold your wings,
Beautiful things,
Butterfly 

 

 

When you feel 
the sun warm on your face again
you will fly...

 

 Spread your wings,
Butterfly.

 

Spread your wings,
you will fly...

So darling! I love these photos. They are all special beyond description. Of course, I bawled like a baby, myself, when I saw Aiden wrapped in the white blanket Banna and I made for him. Priceless. And oh those blue, blue eyes! Sending big, big hugs to all, Cindy xoxoxoxoxox
