Shayne has had a pretty exciting month. She traveled to Tucson again to see her Great-Grandmother, her Auntie Nicole and to celebrate her soon to be here baby cousin! She was the hit of everywhere we went. She was even able to sit through long lunches out at restaurants, as long as she had some …
Traveling Made Easier with Baby’s Away!
