Baby Blue Eyes

Zoey has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. People tell me that she gets them from me and I think that is the most flattering comment. From the day she was born Henry and I have marveled at her big blue eyes. She has been wide eyed from the first hour. Now as she gets older these eyes carry so much expression. When she smiles so big that her face can't contain it her eyes dance. They crinkle on the side and squint. When she is scared or startled, her eyes get large and open. They try to take everything around her in and seems to be searching for someone to comfort her and make her feel safe. When she laughs her eyes close and then open wide when she tries to gasp for breath (mostly when she's playing with her daddy). When she is sad, tears cling to her beautiful lashes and her eyes beg us to make it better. 
As my sweet girl gets older, it is bitter sweet in ways, but we are soaking in every milestone, every new sound, facial expression, and triumph. It's hard to believe she is almost a year old! It's impossible to imagine life without this beautiful blue eyed girl in our lives. 
Such a sweet post to describe an incredibly sweet girl. Love your big blue eyes Zoey!
