Afternoon light spills through the nursery curtains, painting warm stripes across the floorboards. You step into the hushed room and find Lily in her crib, dressed in a pale, soft onesie with that little mint bow resting on her head. She coos gently, sitting up to watch you with wide, wondering eyes. One tiny hand lifts toward the crib rail, fingers splaying slightly, and she waits, perfectly still, for you to come closer.
