yesterday, eleanor and i shared an orange together (on my bed. oops. don’t tell papa.) it was her first ever orange and she loved it. we sat close together, facing each other, with the orange inbetween us…. i would take a bite and then hand her a mini bite to hold and eat whenever she was ready. she kept looking up at me scrunching her nose towards her eyes while she laughed and talked as she ate. it was like we were sharing secrets. or old stories. or something better than an orange. it was my favorite moment from yesterday. i try not to use this word, but i think it’s safe to say it was perfect.
this post was honestly the most precious thing i have ever read! you can just feel the love between you two!

That was simply beautiful.
Awww this is such a memorable beautiful moment! ♥♥
well if the moment was anything like those toes, then it was perfect indeed!
Such an incredibly precious moment. It makes me so very excited for motherhood (even though I'm terrified of it too). Those toes are too cute. They made me smile, when I'm going through such a hard time at work!
you make me want to be a mom :)
too sweet <3
absoultly adorable!

well i think perfect definitely describes it.
Be careful with the citrus. It hurts their little hinies coming out. Best to wait until they're a little older :) I only know because a friend made the mistake and her daughter had a terrible rash.
Those baby toes. I can't look away from the baby toes!
*sigh* the most precious post ever.
This is by far the sweetest post I have ever read!! It {almost} makes me want a little of my own :) looking forward to those moments someday!
I can't wait for moments like that.
:)
Those little baby toes…. I die.
my 15-month-old little girl loves to eat oranges with me, too! just shared one together tonight. it's always the little things in life… :)
Those are the BEST moments!
It does sound perfect! You are such an inspiration, and you make me look forward to these moments so much, next year when I will have a little one of my own~
Sweet feet!!!
i love those moments. where you're just like, "man. i am blessed."

I love perfect mommy/baby moments.

So beautiful moment, there will be many of this kind to share :)
It sounds perfect to me :)
My grandma used to do the same thing with me when I was little and I STILL remember it as perfect.
She called it having an orange party, (and don't tell grandpa) We made a juicy mess and it always made me giggle.
super lovely! very cute moment!
That moment sounds perfect to me and I am sure it will be the first of many such moments for you.
Her feet are so cute and gorgeous in that picture!
Perfect. I bet you will remember this forever.
it's so wonderful to think of passing on a love for the little things
Very cute!! Oh the times ahead huh :D
I absolutely love, love, love your blog. I am from Brazil, and i am always looking for cute style blogs to follow. But when i saw your blog and you awesome family, with this cute little baby, i couldn't help it but to follow your everyday life adventures! I admire your style a lot too, but eleanor is the main attraction here! hahaha! But seriously, when i see a family like your, i start to believe again that things like finding true love and start a family are real and can be achieved by anyone who really wants it. thank you form making me believe in love and in family again!
Kisses from Brazil!

Hehe I'm going to go ahead and say it.. I think her toes are perfect :)
Sounds like you had the most amazing time :)
i can't wait for these moments to interact with my son! he's 6 weeks old today. i've gotten some smiles and a few giggles out of him, but i want to play and talk with him!!
Oh that picture…LOVE!!
So adorable!
I'm pretty sure perfect is the best word! Your little girl is precious and I love that you enjoy every little moment with her. It makes me excited to have my own someday :)
Just imagining this scene is perfection.
it's those special little moments that make motherhood so amazing.
love how you framed the picture – such a precious moment. can't wait till i have some with my own little ones someday…
such a beautiful moment :) thanks for sharing.
this is my most favorite post ever!
So beautiful! I'm simply inspired even more because you are taking motherhood in complete stride!
oh my goodness. about two months ago I made an orange jelly for my then ten month old son. with only the juice of a just-picked orange and a little gelatine powder, set into ice cubes. i, too, got such a strong reaction… his little face squished into startled surprise at the tartness but then chubby fingers kept coming back for more, more, more. introducing a little person to the wondrous pleasure of new foods is beyond perfect; it's sublime!
Perfect and absolutely beautiful!
so incredibly beautiful
so incredibly beautiful
Isn't that the best? I have an 18 month old and treasure little moments like these.
So cute! Little moments are simple the best ;)
Thank you for sharing this little moment with us. So sweet.
Oh wow, you two are really too cute to handle. Thank you for sharing that moment with your readers!
Oh my goodness.. How stinkin adorable are these! I absolutely die over anything knitted. I'd snag any of her items in a heartbeat. So darling!
This is why I want a daughter one day. xx
is there a such thing as better than perfect? because i think you've found it.
adorable.
I love this post.
What a beautiful first!! Thanks for sharing, and for the adorable picture.
