ohhh tommy. he really does do this himself. you may think that my sister dresses him up like this so she can have something to blog about. but, he does this on his own- only to her blogging delight.
walk.walk.walk.

she's only sad because it was over too soon.


he loves her almost more than a cousin should, its cute. "baby daphAne!!!"

my girls at the shower.

the konchar kids (and a young looking mom) oodling daphne. oh sure, i completely posed this picture but its cute, right?


aunt julie + daph

these ones are from this morning.
back from our 2 week long adventure and she is still happy- what a trooper- or as josie named her: goodie good. she really is- she can't help it, she is goodie good. here she is mid-laugh.

one thing she learned in Colorado is that she really likes tae bo. i think she is a natural. she now just LOVES to be left alone to punch and kick.
who is the cutest? ME! (oh i know, a braggy mom, i just couldn't resist)

sometimes there is too much happiness to just smile- so now she scrunches her whole face and sometimes throws her arms into the smile too.

can you believe she is 11 weeks old tomorrow?
I can't.
