1/52

"A portrait of Milo once a week, every week, for his first year"


i've mentioned before that i didn't have a super intense immediate bond with milo as soon as he came out. this picture is special to me because it's the moment that happened. he had just finished his first bath and was laying in the warmer and he was so quiet and content, just looking around. and then he locked his eyes on mine and just stared at me for the longest time. i knew that he was seeing me and that he knew who i was. and as i looked back at him i saw myself in him so strongly, and i felt this overwhelming realization that he was mine, and that he had always been mine- way before i ever met him or ever even dreamed him up. he is perfect and i made him and he is mine.

(this is the first installment in a series entitled the 52 project, which you can read more about here. essentially i will be posting one portrait of milo for every week of the first year of his life.)
