Melodie is up in trees a lot these days, following her brother's climbing skills. Her brother, who just turned 6, leads the way in everything.
It was a great moment for pictures. Just the right light.
Equal serious and joyous, fierce and sweet, determined and free. A respectful personality.
She is not afraid to get dirty and climb high. Sometimes her barbie comes along.
She wears her brother's Spiderman shirt to sleep and her flip flops and tank top when she wakes up.
"Mama, is it warm today?"
