Cupcakes' First Volunteering Experience

Cupcakes has been sick. Mama has been more or less stressed out. This is Mama's excuse for not having updated the blog in three weeks. The first cold lasted a couple weeks. Cupcakes got a second cold before she fully recovered from the first cough. Ahgong and ahma took care of Cupcakes this past Friday, and she seemed to have gotten a lot better.

Cupcakes signed the card for Auntie Jennifer's baby shower as we started the day. With the Bumbo chair that Auntie Liz lent her, she is able to sit at the table like a bigster. She traced her hand and signed inside the hand - what a clever idea! (The hand print had a big thumb because Cupcakes kept moving her hand.)

After signing the card Cupcakes read a bit, and Daddy came over to help her put some socks on before heading out.

Jacki at Page Ahead enjoyed having Cupcakes. Page Ahead, a not-for-profit organization located across the street from Kids Centre downtown Seattle, collects donations and buys books to hand out to children that may not own books otherwise. Cupcakes read, napped in Mama's lap and helped with the bulk mailing. When she wasn't in anyone's lap, she sat at her spot at the table. (Thank you, Auntie Liz, for your handmade swaddling blankets. Thank you, Auntie Iris, for the pacifier!)

Hello, Uncle Joe!!! It's great hearing from you!

Hello, Uncle Chris and Auntie Pam! I am glad that you've been reading my blog. :D
