Helping Mama with make-up

I had to hurry and clean up the house, so Daphne sat content in her diaper box reading "Parents" magazine. So cute.

Signing "Cheerios"

We went swimming on her birthday, and despite having a cold, she loved it!!

A little more crafting...

We had a little birthday party with family, and it was a blast!
