It's been a few weeks since I've done book haul; real life has been keeping me pretty busy. So this haul is from the last two-three weeks. AND since the last Goodie Basket post I did, this little cupcake turned 3 months old and will be 100 days old September 1st, which kinda totally blows my mind:

Baby Aeicha in her owl hat!
