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

The warm weather means eating cake outside in your nicest sundress, still a bit runny-nosed from your quick bout with a cold.  My little girl, my baby, is less than a month from being two years old.  Sometimes I can't wrap my head around that thought, so I've been pleasantly distracting myself with moments like these as much as I possibly can.

    I know - it's crazy, right?! How can they possibly be almost two?! Everly turns two in a month and I can't believe it.

    These are my favorite photos, not posed, not neat, not even clean, just real life at it's most precious! All my favorite pictures of my daughter are like this one. She's my one and only and we're facing middle school and her turning 12! It all goes by so very quickly. Prayers for you and your growing your family.

bathe

first bath, mother's day 2013 we bathed you in the afternoon sun, warm and snuggled between layers of terrycloth. your sister gently helped shampoo your hair and wipe the bubbles from your skin. your papa took your photo as i held you between my hands, still so very little. your lips, softly open. your eyes, gazing outwards toward the shining sun. we live for the simple moments - there is no other way i could have imagined this day. just as it is, just as you are. a mother. it's my most favorite thing to be.
