WARNING: Hazardous levels of cute, proceed with caution

Okay, okay, so I’m her Mom and so naturally predisposed to find her excessively adorable, but seriously: LOOK AT THOSE FRECKLES. I SAID LOOK AT THEM.

When I snapped these the other day I wasn’t sure they’d turn out, as she’s physically incapable of being still for more than two seconds at a time these days, and is therefore often represented in recent photographs as a colorful smear or shapeless blur. So when I finally downloaded and saw these it seemed that there was something almost magical about them, like the camera lens hadn’t captured an image so much as it had captured an imprint of HER, of who she is.

In addition to capturing those almost edible freckles, I mean. OM NOM NOM NOM.

    Also quite good at medicine, FTW. She takes very good care of her babies.

    Love her freckles!
    As a freckled child I never appreciated them until I got older and now wish I had more! (And also didn't like them because I thought adults were insanely stupid for trying to steal them off my nose because duh, they don't come off!)

    Definitely too much cuteness going on there.

    I see it. You caught the kid energy in these… that awesome, unexplainable inner light. She's adorable.

    Sweetney, She's adorable and I love the freckles, but holy crap when did she get so big?

    Too precious for words. My best friend growing up had freckles and I was always supremely jealous.

    I always wanted freckles. I've never understood why people try to cover them with makeup.
    So cute!
