I often stand in front of this mirror after she's fallen asleep, just to look at her for a while before I place her in her crib - to compare how she's grown, to watch her eyelids flutter a little, and her lips dream-nurse.

I don't normally take "selfies" (not because I have anything against them, but because I'm not very good at them, ha) but today I thought, why not? I want to remember what it looked like to hold her like this.
