Each day Ewan changes just a little bit, often we don’t really notice the changes until we think back, reflect, on where he started just five months ago.

Just yesterday, Ewan fell asleep on my chest, as we were lying in bed.

As he lay there, his body now covering so much more of my own, I remembered that this is how he slept most of the time when he was younger.

In fact, without even realizing it, we have moved away from that phase of life and into a new one. It has been months since he has fallen asleep there. But, for whatever reason, that is the place he wanted to be yesterday, and so that is where he was.

It may be months before it happens again, it may never happen again, I don’t know. But, if this was the last time that my babe falls asleep there, I am glad that I captured it, even if the photo quality is poor. I want to remember this phase, this time, and remember how snug and cozy it feels to have him close, his chest rising and falling against my own, his breath grazing my neck, and the weight of his body reminding me of how far we all have come.
