" A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013."

SOFIA:  We spent the last of our few moments together before your Papa and I's trip to Mexico at our usual favorite spot - the big bed in the evening sun.  I tickled your bare toes and you pulled my scarf from my neck and decided you liked it better on you, covering your face playing peek-a-boo.  We miss you this week little girl.
