October 22

Daphne can now count to three (with a little help) and name a few letters of the alphabet (with lots of help). Her favorite color is "geen" (green) and she spells her name A-O-A-O-E. I suppose that's not too bad for a little, crazy baby.

Commonly heard phrases around our house are "Mama, open", "ohh, heb-bee" (heavy), and "mine, mine". Daphne can open just about anything with her fingers or teeth, lifts nearly half of her weight, and climbs furniture like Spiderman scales tall buildings. Always busy as a bee, Daphne constantly runs around the house bursting full of energy. A few hours alone with this wee nuclear reactor can exhaust even the most fit individual.

Here are some photos from this past weekend's visit to a local pumpkin farm and a photo of Daphne chowing down on a McDonald's hamburger:







Until tomorrow,
