The youngest was just waking up from her nap when I arrived. We went to get her out of bed and Henry was happy to help his mama. As they moved onto playing, I loved all the sticker fun. I loved that mom and dad just rolled with it. And I think it’ll be so silly and fun to think back on the days brother used to cover his baby sister in stickers. There were so many beautiful fun moments, but I think my favorite series from this day with the H family is the series of mom feeding her baby. It’s definitely a meaningful chapter in their lives – it’s more than an exchange of nutrition. The playing with the toes, the gazes and cuddles – there’s a lot of love and bonding in those moments.
But a close second are the images of dad with the kids… they are so quiet yet so moving. Maybe it was my presence but Gavin seemed more private and reserved than even most fathers. However, you could tell he was a very loved and involved father based on the kids’ interactions with him. Their trust in him and playfulness with him was telling and it was such a pleasure getting these images for the Heiders.
