Kestrel wanted me to take a picture of him and Aurora. He had been holding her for a while, and thought they looked cute. So I picked up the camera.
Clearly, Kestrel was far more interested in being photogenic than Aurora was.
Jason stepped in to try to get her to focus in the same spot, and maybe even get a smile out of her.
Kestrel even tried to help, to little photographic avail.
Finally everyone gave up.
The irrepressible Kestrel decided to entertain himself…
And got Aurora in on the act… providing a better photo op than all the others together.

This is the song that plays in my head when Aurora smiles. So I thought I’d share the moment with you.
Jackie Wilson said
It was "reet-petite"
Kinda love you got
Knock me off my feet
Let it all hang out
Oh, let it all hang out.
And you know
I’m so wired-up
Don’t need no coffee in my cup
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out.
Watch this:
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Ding-a-ling-a-ling
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
Do-da-do-da
I’m in heaven, i’m in heaven
I’m in heaven, when you smile
When you smile, when you smile
When you smile.

Aurora's Dolphin Dreaming
Miss Aurora down for the afternoon nap. Who knows what babies dream of? We can only guess.

I‘m working on the birthstory, the announcement, and all that good stuff. But for right this instant… I had to post this photo.
I love the “getting to know you” phase. It’s everything babymooning is about.
More later, I promise!
