concentrated

Ever since she was super tiny, Annabelle has had an excellent "concentrating face."

It may be one of my favorite faces really.

The best part is it hasn't died. It isn't as pronounced or cross-eyed, but she still has it.

When she gets into something new or challenging, you can inevitably find her, crosslegged, feet together, precise fingers at work, and that face puckered into sheer concentration.

Of course now, it's interrupted with, "Look Mommy! I did it!" But the concentrating face lives on.
