"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013"
Dear Olivia,

There are few things quite as pure and beautiful as childlikeness. You innocently believed that you were"hidden" behind that hairband as we played hide and seek! I promise to always nurture that childlike spirit and never rush you to "grow up".

Love,
Mama

34-42/52



Week 34 What an awesome big sister you will make my darling.

Week 35 You were spotting a "stylish" mohawk because you wouldn't let me do the last cornrow!

Week 36 Your mama forgot to apply sunscreen on your face. Sorry baba!

Week 37 This broom has to be one of your favorite toys!

Week 38 Daddy's little girl. You have the best daddy in the whole world little Caramel!

Week 39 Munching into Daddy's loaf while he's out to buy chicken mayo!

Week 40 That "scrunched up nose" smile is too adorable! I love it!

Week 41 Watering the weeds in granny's garden on a scorching hot 38 degrees day in Mthatha.

Week 42 Your utter delight in this morning's porridge was incredibly funny. You would go "mmm" after every spoonful!

Dear Olivia,

Anyone who knows you well would agree that the "52 portraits" project would not be complete without a picture of your grumpy-face look! 

Love,
Mama

Dear Olivia,

When you were 2 months old wore 6-12month size clothing and now at 15 months old you still fit in the same clothes! You are my petit babe with a chubby little pooch! 

Love,
Mama

Dear Olivia,

It takes you less than 5 minutes to polish off a full bowl of oats! When you are done with your portion, you start pointing at my half full bowl, asking for me to share. You are an oatmeal eating machine my darling...and I'm not complaining!

Love,
