A portrait of my daughter every day in 2014
Someone has discovered the fine art of climbing on the back of the couch to look out the window.

She’s a pro at climbing stairs.

How much she’s grown is so apparent when I look at these photos of her in the same chair a year ago.

She likes to brush her teeth when we do.

I love the way she tangles herself up in blankets while she sleeps. It’s a precise process that she’s mastered.

Going for a walk with the dogs(not a regular occurrence) was pretty exciting for this kid today.

Peaking in and out of doors and windows is one of her favorite things to do. Especially when dogs are involved.

Right before bed tonight she got to give the dogs some treats. She some how managed to sneak one in her mouth without my noticing. Suddenly she’s looking at me going “mmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmm”. She obliges easily when I ask her to open her mouth, and does so with a huge smile. Apparently chicken and cheese Charlie Bears are delicious.
I only took 2 photos today. Oops. So today’s photo is another toddler fashion shot. Some lady called her hip at the library last weekend. It’s becoming glaringly obvious she’s the best dressed in this family.

18 months. One and a half years. 546 days. That’s how old this little girl is. She amazes me in so many ways, the least of which is her ability to adapt and survive. She doesn’t have to do it these days, but she sure did at the beginning. This kids will to live is strong and I am grateful for it every day(and occasionally the petty side of me wants to stick my tongue out at a few NICU nurses and swear like a sailor). Look at this girl now.
She woke up from her nap howling today. Literally, howling like the dogs she loves so much. She giggled and cuddled up in my lap.
The way they change when they’re so small, it’s almost imperceptible, until one day you look back and realize, holy shit you’re a whole new person. It continues to floor me regularly.
To go back and tell my pre-baby self that I would love so deeply, that my life would start over on that day…I doubt I would have believed it. Happy 1.5 years to my sweet girl today.

I’m totally biased, but Jesus this kid is beautiful. I love that she still fits into the sweater her grandma made.
