Someone likes baths a little too much. She couldn't wait for me to undress her so she climbed in herself.


She loves her daddy!
She has gotten really good puzzles. I have 3 different ones that she does. It took her a while to figure out how to put them in but by the end of the week she could do them really fast!
Sick babies are no fun but I get lots of cuddles. Both Aiden and Jade got two separate colds this month.

My bath baby.

Just chilling while watching a movie on the iPad.
She decided she wanted to lay on my tummy so she pulled my shirt up and laid down. Silly baby.
She loves so hold the watermelons at the grocery store.
She got really happy when Jerel picked on up and let her hold it.
