i did not purposely take a picture of half my little girl's face. she was picking dandelions. i zoomed in for a close up. daddy pulled in the driveway and got out of the car. she looked over and smiled at her daddy just as i took the picture. had i not been zoomed in so close i might have gotten her whole face... but i kinda like it the way it is. (i did crop off a little of the extra on the left hand side to give the image a little more balance) normally i would have deleted this picture thinking it was a failure, i'm glad i didn't. hop on over to tracey's and share your best shot of the week!!
i sing "rock a-bye baby" to bean before she goes to bed. when it gets to the line "and down will come baby" i drop her into her crib. she giggles then asks for her blanket. the other day i walked into her room she was holding one of her babies and singing "rock a-bye baby"!! she knew almost every word. she gently rocked the baby back and forth and kissed her as she sang- just like i do with her. sigh. do i have to tell you that my heart turned to goo right there on the spot!!! watching your child imitate you in such a manner is incredible... makes you think that maybe you are doing something right after all! HA!

She looks SO much like you in that picture!!! SO CUTE!
That picture is SO not a failure! It's one of the best ones I've seen of your Little Bean. But I love close-ups and funky crops.
I have to say, your "Rock a-bye-Baby" story turned my heart to goo as well. So sweet
love the softness of the pic...and of her!
The photo of your daughter is very cute, it has an artsy feel to it. The softness of it and her smile is just gorgeous.
Such a great shot! I love the light and the desaturated look. And the expression on her face is adorable ;-)
This is a winner, and to know that smile was for daddy makes it even more so. Precious.
Really cute shot. Just love that smile (even just the 1/2 of the smile!)
My daughter is starting to sing whole songs too. It is so amazing... especially to catch her singing on her own with no prompting from Mommy!
A beautiful shot and a beautiful post. Amazing.
I love it - and I love the look when she sees Daddy! That is one special look, both my girls get it, too!
Great pic - glad you didn't delete it!
I love pictures like this...never a failure. great job!
i love the way it is cropped. great capture, whether intentional or not. :) and what a cutie she is!
I'd call that a happy accident. Somehow it works. :)
