happy birthday, little mouse

Franz (Baden, Austria) on 28 April 2013 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

my granddaughter emilia is 19 months old today - and out to discover the world around her!
on the first really nice spring weekend, we took a walk through the woods, and she couldn't stop pointing out things that were new to her ... flowers, insects, a blindworm, the bark of a tree, a pine cone ...
so much to see, so much to take in, so much to learn ... !!!

i post a picture of her every month on her "birthday", the 28th!
(btw, the legs belong to her dad, lukas ... ;-)

How wonderful ... the little finger pointing, the smile, the shoes, leggings, and little denim shorts. Now a countdown to age 2 ... can you believe it? ♥

I loved taking my little kids on nature walks! I loved seeing their unadulterated curiosity, all the learning that was going on in their little brains. Happy Birthday to your little nature companion :^)
