In the reflection of the mirror, at the top of the stairs, I stopped to stare.
Carried in my arms, my baby once, now a little girl talking, jumping and dancing.
So caught up in the world around her, fighting off sleep, not wanting to miss a beat.
She’d succumbed to sleep, finally surrendered, sat next to her Daddy on the sofa.
His warm body, gentle arms. Hands cocooning her head as it dropped to her chin.
AT PEACE.

so cuteÂ
bless her
Gorgeous! She is so angelic looking, especially while she is sleeping 🙂
Moments to treasure! Beautiful.
What a gorgeous picture…Alice looks so peaceful safely cuddled up in her daddy’s arms…just adorable!!
No matter how old they get, you always get a rush of love when you watch your baby sleeping. It’s a privilege to be a mother!
So cute… watch out though, if she is anything like mine she will suddenly be a much bigger girl in a swirly skirt and roller skates and the days of falling asleep in your arms will be long gone.

So lovely. And nothing to do with the theme, but her knit is gorgeous! I’m jealous 😉
Gorgeous photos, I love that conked out sleep!
I love these – she’s doing that squishy mushy thing with her mouth that little ones always do when they are in a deep sleep
