This photo was taken around the exact moment she officially turned three.
I have never seen this face before. It's brand new, a symbol of three. Gone are the awkward smiles, the exaggerated cheese! smiles and the cutesy shy smiles.
Can I get a picture of you guys on your birthday? I asked as casually as possible, knowing my Stella will only pose under her conditions.
I look through the lens and can't believe what I see unfolding before me. My little baby is confidently wrapping her arm around her closest friend, leaning into her like they are teenagers and shooting off the most grown up smile I have seen her wear.
There is so much love in these eyes, so much security, so much comfort.
You are breathtaking, my dear.

she is. and i think all of the security and comfort that you are seeing in her eyes is a reflection of what she feels for her parents. no doubt.

Gorgeous kid. Growing up so fast. Lovely to see. That's what we want in life, don't we?

She is breathtaking.
And I agree with Tiffany. All the security and love she gets from her parents is reflected in that new expression, the symbol of three.
Ah, just beautiful! You are right. What a grown up smile. Loving you Stella!
What a sweet sweet little lady.
Missing you guys.
