The theme from Tara for The Gallery this week is Body Parts.
This is my daughters hand when she was just a few weeks old.
Everyone says ‘you forget how tiny they are…’.
But, you really do.
I was so amazed by this tiny little girl. Amazed that she was a girl!
I spent hours just watching her. She looked so like her brothers, but with a feminine curve to her face, a girlish cast to her smile. She was in their image, but a finer and more delicate version.
Her hands were so tiny, so perfect. I spent ages trying to get a photo that really conveyed how small and fragile they looked – even against my own hands, which are also tiny! I never managed to get the perfect photo, but I still smile when I see the ones we did take.
Especially those where she is holding my hand. My precious little girl.

Such beautiful little hands.
Thank you x
Love this! Reminds me of a line from an E.E Cummings poem “Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands”.
Oh, that’s a lovey quote :) Thank you x
There is a lump in my throat reading that.
Oh, thank you x
Gorgeous! Love little new baby hands and feet… so precious xx
Oh, thank you. I love tiny fingers and toes :)
Such a beautiful photo! I love little hands.
Your description of your girl sounds like mine – looking like her brothers, but just a more delicate version!
Thank you x It’s funny how she’s just the same, but so different.
awww this is beautiful honey, you really do forget how small they are x
Thank you Jaime x
oh I love it, to me it is a perfect picture Sara, it’s one of those moments when the tiny perfect little person you created reaches out for you, grabs on and silently says you’re my mummy I OWN YOU! xxx
Oh, I know. It was one of my favourite things about breastfeeding, when they’d lie there all snuggled in, holding your hand or your hair. Just the best feeling x
A beautiful photo, I always feel like my babies were never tiny but looking at the size of them now at 13yrs and 2yrs they must have been!
Thank you! It is hard to believe they were ever that size when I look at them now :)
What a beautiful picture. You really do forget how small they are!
You really do :) Thank you x
Love this one, very clever shot that shows the contrast in size between the two hands
