evelyn {18 months}

When you have the world's cutest niece, it's hard to not to share every single photo of her. Evelyn has brought so much joy to our lives. I have loved watching her grow & learn, but I secretly still want her to be a baby & snuggle with her forever. She can now almost say my name, & it's precious. A few weeks ago, she started crying when I left the room to go to the bathroom. If that didn't melt my heart, the fact that she said, "Oh, hi! I love you!" when I came back definitely did. (It wasn't that crisp & clear, but we all knew exactly what she said.)

I'm a little delayed in posting these, & Evelyn has grown so much since this shoot. She was 18 months old in April, so we timed her photo shoot for Easter weekend when we would all be together. We took her to the historic museum area of Old Tomball & let her run around. I know I was exhausted afterwards, but it was mommy & great auntie who were chasing her. 

With little bunny shoes, it's always a good day.

Stairs are Evelyn's favorite thing. Why....!??

I hope she always has this adorable crooked smile.

"Balloon" was one of her first words, & we were delighted when the other family taking photos that day left their pink balloons for us to use.

I don't think a photo could get any more sweeter or innocent than this.

Then this magic happened. Perfect light. Perfect bubbles. Precious & curious toddler...

...but then it was just too much to be adorable for another photo.
