Ah, to be young and celebrating monthly birthdays again ;)

This is so incredibly cute Fred! You are one proud Grandpa I know!!

Colors are outstanding and your playful blocks are really a nice touch.

Her little happy face says it all and says how much she enjoys being in front of your camera :)

I am going to ignore a few things that could have made this better..
Cause Sweet Stella put the A in Adorable!
The joy on her face has made my Loooooong day at the office much better.
Those we love should be CELEBRATED all the time.
Cute shot Fred ;)

What a cutie-pie in her pretty blue dress, my grandma has pictures like this of me to. I love how the blocks on the side of her is spelling it all out for us, while she's laying on her pretty blanket. Great work thanks for sharing

Two thumbs up for the creativity in your composition. Stella looks so happy! I'm confident she loves the attention she is receiving from Grandpa. The image is well lit, well focused and framed and presented in a very effective ratio.

A beautiful image. I like the spread on the floor as well as the blocks but the star is clearly Stella with her new blue dress. What a smile. Great colors and artful composition.
