Purple and White

One day I half-dressed Macie in an off-white onesie and left her in the care of her Daddy.  When I came back, he'd placed her on a matching blanket and placed mostly purple toys all around her.  He did not notice this, but I did... and she was being cute, so I had to take some pictures of her.  When she was 10, 11 and approaching 12 months old, she loved it when we would lay a blanket down on the floor with just a few toys to play.  Of course, we did this a lot in the months before - but it was around 10 months that she started to giggle and shake over a floor blanket because she was so excited.  And then when she became more mobile, for a long time the mere presence of a blanket would keep her in the same spot for 15-20 minutes so that I could accomplish a task.  I'm glad that we have these pictures to remember this phase.
