One of the strangest things about babies is that they are sometimes awake without activity. When Elliot isn't pooing, peeing, or eating, mostly he's sleeping. But, every once in a while, he just stares, wide awake, into the ether. There's something wonderful and disconcerting about this. It's great just to see Elliot be, but I've gotten so used to filling up my time with activities, that my immediate response to his being-ness, is that he's bored or something is wrong. Why isn't he reading a book, watching TV, or making lists? What a wonderful things babies are when they remind you that "just being" is an activity too.
Here he is in the bathroom, just chilling out while his mom takes a shower.
Still chillin'
I think I surprised him with my camera. This is one of those shots that you can imagine on the cover of Star Magazine, with the headline "Caught in the Act: Baby spies on Showering Mom"
