Middle of the Night with Baby

Probably the one thing I never thought I'd use on my Mac that I use more than anything - PhotoBooth. The kids are addicted and so am I. I have all these pretty pictures, taken with a real camera, and yet I love looking back at these - because they just capture little moments best of all. I've been taking pictures of me with my baby boy since he was born (and even more with my girls!)

And there have been so many moments I wanted to capture without my camera handy that I could just snap a PhotoBooth pic (I think that might say something about me being on the computer too much, but I'm not going to think about that).

Like this moment right now, with Henry snuggled up next to me. Belly full of milk. He keeps smiling in his sleep. It's really, really late and I should go to bed, but this moment is too sweet. I keep just watching him suck the air and snore and stretch...

I tried to go to bed at a reasonable hour. But then ADT Security called (this is probably one of those things you shouldn't blog about...hopefully no stalkers are reading this now) at 11:30 p.m. to tell me that they ran a test on our system and didn't get a signal back. Yeah, well, lighting struck by our house OVER A MONTH AGO and our system has been out ever since. Then I went back to bed, and at 12:00 Henry woke up. And then when I was about to take his sweet little self back to bed, someone sent me a text message that said "nite nite sleepi head." Except I didn't know the number, so I searched and tried to think who it might be and finally texted back to ask... turns out it was a wrong number but this spelling and grammar challenged stranger and I exchanged a few more texts anyway. And then I started staring at Henry and taking pictures of him to make sure I don't forget this moment. And then I saw other pictures of him, when he was even tinier. And well, here I am.
