Simple, Beautiful Moments

One of Matt's favorite sayings is "Simple can be beautiful." In my first few days as a new mom, I've collected a list of some of the simple moments that I've found incredibly beautiful:

• The sound of Graham breathing when he sleeps at night.
• Falling asleep with Graham laying on my chest after his early morning feeding.
• The feel of Graham wrapping his hand around my finger.
• Watching Graham learn about his body (he's still figuring out what to do with his hands) and his world (the monkey clock in his room is definitely an attention grabber).
• Hearing Matt sing to Graham when he's changing or rocking him.
• Watching Graham smile or break out into laughter in his sleep.
• Hearing that beautiful little cry (made even more special by the fact that he didn't cry for a while after his delivery).
• Knowing how completely his grandparents and other family members love him...even across the miles.
• Seeing people's faces light up when they see him or a photo of him.
• Enjoying time as a family of three, often accomplished by Matt and me reading a book to Graham or Graham and me listening to Matt play the piano.
• Being content to just stare at him and feel incredibly blessed that he is our little boy.
