Tomorrow Hannah turns six months old. This afternoon after a big meal, she fell right asleep, completely askew, in my lap. I have never seen such complete trust, vulnerability, quiet and comfort. It's hard to believe that six months is the complete tally of her existence; that a few short months ago she was a tiny, wailing, purple thing; it's like she's been a part of our lives forever. All my training in observation, measurement, and my attempts to describe my baby girl came up completely against this perfect, quiet, moment. Both of us, pretzled up on the couch.
