the almost-one, almost-not-a-baby-anymore baby....

These were all taken last weekend. This coming weekend we'll be up at my parent's house, celebrating Helena and Violet's first birthdays!!

Master of the Sippy cup

this was the first time Helena used a sippy cup all by herself... and when she got the hang of it, she didn't want to put it down!!

another cold day indoors...

Is she not the most adorable little girl in the world?

on 1 degree days, we stay indoors...

more January pics

Just lots of cute pics of Helena...
