"a portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2013."

penny: the other day at the park you watched a little boy run all over, go up the steps, and then go down the slide all by himself. you were enamored! when i asked his mama how old he was, she said 18 months. just over 4 months older then you! it quickly made me realize just how much you're going to grow and change in the next few months. i'll be sure to not take for granted these days of holding your hand as you walk, helping you up steps, and going down the slide with you. they may not be here for much longer...
