A day by the river.. inspecting leaves

I love watching Madelyn's face as she examines her surroundings.. she stares, furrows her brow, squints, moves her head side to side, and of course tries to taste everything. One of my favorite things is to ly her under a tree and watch her.. she looks above, in complete awe, and watches the leaves blow in the wind and the sun shine through them.. then she puts her hands out reaching toward the sky and moves her wrists back and forth, back and forth. I'm not sure why she does this but I love that she loves it so much. I laid next to her the other day and looked up into the trees. It was such a needed moment, both of us with no other cares or worries, fascinated with the small but incredible things.
