A Few of Her Favorite Things

If you ever are with Daphne and need to provide her with some entertainment, here are a few tips for you:

1) She's into this stomach, bouncing thing. David discovered that this calms her down almost every time she's upset about something. You just sort of put her in a football hold with her belly on your arm, prop her head and there you have it. Happiness.
















2) You can always shower her with money.















3) Her cousin Sophie gave her a super fun activity mat and two bouncy chairs. You have to be good with your timing when using these toys. She only likes them when she's in a really happy mood, which is basically about 10 minutes after she's eaten. And even then, watch closely for signs of distress. Although the activity mat is pretty much a 10 all around.




















Be careful, as she is somewhat of a contortionist. (Is it bad that I would rather take her picture than try to straighten her out?)
















4) Let her hang out with her dad. I realize that if you're with her alone, this isn't possible, but it's still one of her favorite things. Sometimes they watch Star Trek together.

















5) Whatever you do, don't do whatever I'm doing here, because she apparently doesn't like it.

That is too funny! I love the "shower her with money" picture - I laughed out loud!
