I couldn’t resist

When we were taking pictures yesterday, I couldn’t resist taking a bit of video too, just to truly capture the day. Vivienne was in such a great mood… she had helped me pick those flowers and couldn’t wait to get out in the yard for pictures.

And she adored her new outfit. She’d picked it out to wear to church (thank you so much, Machell!) so she was doubly excited to be in the spotlight.

As the shoot went along, she kept asking to see her pictures, and of course I acquiesced. Eventually, I was able to coerce a tiny song out of her in exchange for a promise to let her see more of her adorable self.

    OK…I am going to have to charge you.
    For what you ask?

    For COMPLETELY breaking the arm off my CUTE-O-METER!

    How she has grown! I just can't stop smiling!
    So nice to hear that sweet voice of hers (and yours!)

    You made my day!

    She reminds me so much of my girl in this video, somehow. They have similar voices and personalities, I think. Anyway, Vivi is absolutely precious and so stinkin ADORABLE!
