Whooo Loves Mommy

I bought this outfit the day before Thanksgiving.

I love it.

The colors are great.

Everything is just so cute.

And I am hopelessly enamored with owls for Macie right now.

This was the first week in January.

I got her alone for 10 minutes.

She'd just woken from her afternoon nap.

(Ephram took a spontaneous nap that same day.)

This is the best time of day to photograph her.

She's always happy after her nap.

Full of giggles.

Especially her new intentional laughs.

One, a series of little coughs that she was so delighted to discover.

Every time any of us was sick in January and coughed at all,

Macie would start her little cough-laugh.

(Mommy was recovering from one in a long line of winter colds, and may have coughed here.)

That picture above was of her second intentional laugh.

A series of snorts and snuffles through her nose.

(Mommy sometimes silent-laughs through her nose.)

(Mommy may just have silent laughed at Macie's cough laugh.)

Macie loves to imitate.

I love these pictures because of her bed-head.

Her hair was finally long enough to stand up a bit.

It is much more established in front, and was spiky in the middle at this stage.

Her very fine hair stands up with ease.

"Done now, Mommy."

Whooo loves Mommy?

I don't care.

But I sure can answer this:

Whooo Loves Macie?

Because she's fallen head over heels.

It's completely obvious.

It's Me.
