"A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014″

"Oh Hiiiii!" I say to you upon waking every morning, along with a thousand kisses and I love you's. Today you replied with, " Hiiiiiiaaa!"  Then immediately started laughing, tickled pink with yourself and your new found word. Hearing you find your voice is absolutely thrilling, the sweetest sounds I've every heard. "Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time."  ~Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
