My Little Flower

I love watching Evelyn discover fresh, warm air for the first time. When she knows we are on our way outside she kicks her legs up and down all hyper like a bunny rabbit. Then when we get outside she closes her eyes slightly and keeps her mouth wide open to taste the freshness of the breeze.

She couldn't be happier then when we are on a walk in the park. It's the simple things in life. She is blossoming just as beautifully and simultaneously as the trees and flowers are blooming. Ev is starting to creep and crawl and her first tooth is budding through. She reminds me to slow down, to breathe in the air. When I feel overwhelmed and hurried I close my eyes and picture her fully surrendered to the breeze and soaking up the sun, her eyes closed, her smile as big as they come.......
