Toddler Summary – catching up

Daphne Jane. She is all about the fun and soaking up life. She is also not concerned about her personal safety. She always has some sort of injury--usually to her face from some stumble/spill/trip. She either cries not at all or cries for a minute and moves on.

Daphne - 1 Santa - 0

Yes, it is that happy, jolly, time of year. Daphne doesn’t really get the whole Christmas ‘thing’ yet, let alone know who Santa is, but that doesn’t stop her from saying (her word for) Santa and getting all excited for the lights on the tree and the blow-up snowmen around the neighborhood.

November - National Adoption Month

For the third straight year, in honor of November being National Adoption Month, Portrait of an Adoption is running a special series called 30 Adoption Portraits in 30 Days.

When Does a Baby Become a Toddler?

At times when we (more-so Rachel) look at Daphne, we still think of her as a baby.

When did our little girl stop being a baby and start being a toddler?
