Seeing the World for the First Time

We took Maya on her first picnic this past Sunday.

We put a blanket out on the grass and detached the bassinet part of her stroller and put it on the blanket so she could nap in it. We brought sandwiches, cookies, melon, chips and snacked away, while we sat under a huge beautiful tree, with the blue sky peeking its way through the leaves. It was the perfect setting....

The best part for me; holding Maya up and pointing out the leaves and the blue sky and introducing her to the "world". She looked everywhere, not knowing where to turn with her blue/green/gray eyes. Imagine seeing all of this for the first time? It made me appreciate the "world" I guess, and in that moment I was looking at the world through her eyes, and it was truly magnificent.

Here we are looking at eachother....
