I was just looking through my photos from Eva’s first few days and I came across these photos, which for some reason unknown to me, I had never saved to Flickr. When I saw her all tiny and curled up like that, my heart lurched. I know it’s a cliche, but I can’t believe how fast she’s growing.
The other thing about these photos is that I have no memory of taking them. I have no memory of putting Eva on her tummy at that tender age and having her not scream about it. I can’t remember ever (in her entire life) curling up peacefully like that while on her tummy. I’m sure it’s due to sleep-deprivation-induced memory loss, but it also makes me feel a bit bittersweet to realize how many things I’m sure I’ve already forgotten, and how many things I’m sure to forget in the future.
