When I look at you, I see:
Pure love; mine and yours.
Sweetness, laughter, and innocence.
Sharp intelligence.
The adoration in your eyes - often undeserved, I fear.
Wisdom and insight far beyond your two and a half years.
Fierce determination.
A keen observer.
So much of myself, it is almost frightening.
My tendency to let things get under my skin.
Your daddy's sense of humour and reason.
Simultaneous tenacity, shyness, and strength.
A performer.
My baby; my pride and joy.
So much beauty I am nearly blinded its brilliance.
Gorgeous!!!!

ReplyDeleteAw, I love this and your words totally got me. She's so much and she's only two and a half. Crazy how crazy in love we become with our kids. Love it that you chose Lilah for #BeeBeautifulYou because she's that and more!

ReplyDeleteOhmygoodness this love is BIG, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, truly.
I just love that dress on her. The colour is perfect. I agree that sometimes I see myself in Sarah so much that it scares the hell out of me. Especially when it is things that are not my best qualities.
ReplyDeleteAdorable. The beauty of childhood wrapped up in one picture.
