grown up... all most

Lil's been growing like crazy, though you wouldn't know it from this poor, sad, neglected blog. The only consolation is that I'm busy mothering actual people, not just failing to rant on the internet, so that's a plus (right?). A few weeks ago I snapped some  photos of Lil in a fitted beatnik turtleneck and skinny jeans, with her hair pulled back in a messy pony tail, á la, Kate Moss circa 2008. Yes, Lil looked much cuter (and a little chubbier) than Ms. Moss, but what was really stunning was her ability to transform from a baby to a little girl one frame to the next. These pics did not span months or weeks— just a few minutes and a couple emotions.
