Maeve & Posts of the Week

At our recent visit with relatives on Christmas Day, my camera and I couldn't quite get enough of sweet baby Maeve. I hope she makes you smile, too.

Who couldn't fall in love with an angel face like this?




maeve twirl
Her big sister had been demonstrating some of her dance moves and Maeve made sure we knew she could do likewise.

Bravo! Take a bow, tiny dancer.

What little kidlet doesn't love mashed potatoes?

Maeve spent quite some time trying to figure out how this Furby worked.

And she was amazingly adept at tapping and swiping her way through her mother's iPhone.

Isn't this a sweet Christmas angel? Dirty face and all.

I'm sure you can see her wings and halo if you squint.

Thanks for indulging me.

And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.



 

A GOOD READ:

This first story, "Still Waters" is particularly special to me because the Auntie Minnie in the story also happened to be my own Auntie Minnie. Blog author Phyllis is my first cousin and Auntie Minnie was our grandmother's (my paternal, her maternal)'s sister:

Maeve is precious. The faces of small children are so wonderful: open, vulnerable, full of expression. Your pics of her are perfect.

This little angel is just adorable...I love the dirty face photo best. I have three dirty face photos in my living room in a prized place of Shelley and the grands cuz kids are cutest when frosted. Oma Linda

Crabby McSlacker said...

Wow, you've really captured how adorable she is.

And I don't think I've ever seen a photo of a kid using modern electronics that has so much heartwarming radiance! If Apple gets a hold of your talent you could sell zillions.

Rosaria Williams said...

What a precious little girl! You captured some sweet moments, H.

Nadezda said...

Sweet little girl!
Her eyes are so clean and deep.
Lucky her mom.

Her wistful expression in that last photo is a treasure.

Karen (formerly kcinnova) said...

These photos of Maeve make me wish you had been with my family when my own kids were that age -- what precious photographs!
Squeezing in a bit of reading this morning...
Thank you!

She is an angel, such beautiful eyes.

A Cuban In London said...

Many thanks for linking my blog. Baby Maeve looks angelic indeed. It's a funny coincidence because my son's 15th b'day was yesterday and I was thinking last night of the first time I saw his beautiful and angelic face at the hospital after he'd just been born! :-)

Greetings from London.

Aritha V. said...

Hilary - thanks once again for awarding me a POTW! I've found so many new blogs to read since you started posting weekly choices, and had visits from new readers. For that I thank you, too!

Little Maeve is adorable. No squinting necessary to see those wings!

I love the little bare feet.
Ah, precious.

Some nice photos of one of God's angels.

I enjoy seeing the various posts you suggest and hope to get around to them. I have found some really fantastic ones through your recommendations.

Take care.

NitWit1 said...

What an angelic sweet cherub Maeve is.

Suldog said...

She's lovely. And the grin while she's working the i-phone... big smiles are wonderful, but that understated happiness is sublime.

Mimi said...

Maeve is adorable, thanks for letting us meet her! Isn't it amazing how one so tiny can manouvre reound an iPhone, but we adults are challenged by it. (or at least I was!)

Linda said...

Oh, she is adorable! Your profile shots are just gorgeous!

Dan said...

Cutie pie!

... and Thank you!
