meeting my niece aria

as the boys road tripped up the coast to meet me in berkeley,
i flew to oakland to meet up with my sis leslie, and my new niece aria.
oh what a treat it was!

she's so sweet so happy.
her bright smile literally lights up the room!

here she is:

 





 

 

her big gummy grin makes me smile every time.

~ i had big plans for doing a photoshoot of this sweet baby girl,
but the timing didn't work well.  *sniff*
 

i plan on trying again this winter when she visits at Christmas! .
my guess is she might even have a few teeth by then. i can hardly wait. 

until then, i'll be thinking of this sweet baby girl and her big gummy grin.
