Ward's First Year

Ward Miles was born three and a half months premature. You'll first see him at four days old, the first time his mama Lyndsey got the chance to hold him. You can see her fear, joy, and sadness all at once as she cradles her super tiny son who is covered with tubes and monitors. But Miles was a fighter, and came home a few months later, near his original due date (and on his mother's birthday). You can read more of his story at HuffPo.

Miles' father, filmmaker and photographer Benjamin Scot Miller, made this video of their baby's first year as the next year's birthday gift for Lyndsey. You may want to have a hankie ready. (via Daily Picks and Flicks)
