Pause for a Break

We've been super busy lately and I have MANY posts to make but until they are ready - I just wanted to share a picture of my baby girl! She will be 18 months on Friday and I'm having a really hard time with this milestone birthday. But moments like this morning, where she paused from running around the house to smile for her mommy and the camera just totally melt my heart. I think I snapped somewhere close to 30 pictures in about 10 seconds. There were so many cute ones but I don't want to clog the blog so I'm posting my favorite. I think she knew she had on new shoes and wanted to show them off!
