Look at this face... this little lady is who we get to look at every day.
Daph LOVES cars, and tells me about every car she hears or sees outside.
Daph is such a great eater and especially loves peas. She is so good about tasting almost everything we offer her. She says "Mmm" when I ask her if she would like to eat, and we are working on handing food she doesn't want to Mama instead of throwing it on the ground. The ground still gets the majority of her discarded food, and then she looks at me with her know-she-did-something-naughty look.
Her hair is gorgeous, and we love this outfit at the moment (which explains all the pictures of her wearing it).
A picture of her sleeping to remind me that this girl actually sleeps. She had a cold followed by Croup this month, so we are just now recovering from about 3 weeks of waking up every 1-2 hours each night. She loves her Teddy, which is the little fuzzy cream thing she is cuddling.
Looking through our friend's kitchen cupboards.
Daph LOVES being outside and has started crying at the front door and standing by her stroller. She also got some snazzy new tennis shoes that she loves to show everyone. She also insists on walking everywhere , and until recently she has been pretty tentative about walking without holding tightly to Mama or Dada's hand.
One of my FAVORITE things that Daphne learned this month (on the 15th) is how to sign "please." At first she would sign "please" on me, and then started signing it on herself. So sweet.
She has been carrying around things in her mouth while crawling. Hands-free.
Just wanted another pic of that gorgeous hair.
Daph loves cats and dogs, following them around whenever she is near them.
She is usually very soft.
Loves books, loves balls, and our favorite songs this month have been "Rubber Duckie" and "Mr. Sun."
Signing "please":
Daph does this with her legs all the time. She loves when anything is by her feet so she can move her legs like this:
