that is the word that came to mind when i saw this image. and actually when i saw this moment one sat morning. pure beauty. pure joy. pure love. such a sweet and perfect little girl. her lips! her new long hair! i just love everything about it. of course, it is my baby girl:)

this image will probably not speak to you the way it does to me but it was just a beautiful moment that caught me off guard. there is no editing that has been done to this photo beyond the bw conversion. she was watching diego (her new boyfriend!) and had all her 13 animals in tow and snuggled up around the both of us in bed. this is miss m fresh out of bed. i left the comfort of snuggling with her to go grab my camera and to preserve this moment where i couldn’t believe how old she looked…and how perfect. i really just want to freeze her in this stage and all that comes with that, esp her little songbird voice that wakes us up everyday singing her favorite songs. i am so in love!!!
