Yvaine got to try her first piece of cake! all she really did was mush it in her hands.

Some days her hair is curly and others it just does what it wants!

This is Darien and her cat Carni sitting at the end of our drive way having a relaxing moment!

Yvaine waking up from a nap! I like to pop in and make her smile.

Yvaine loves to play with the camera I just love that smile

She is starting to stand without help but she can only do this for a few minutes

We got her a walker in hopes that she would start to move her feet but so far no luck there.
