Cute baby alert!

I happen to think my daffodil hat is pretty cute. But you haven't seen cute until you've seen baby Joie actually wearing the daffodil hat. Don't you agree?

Daffodil hat

What, you thought it was going to be shaped like a daffodil? Sorry...I'm just not that creative. But it is a lovely daffodil-yellow color, so that should count for something.

This hat is destined for my colleague's 4-month-old daughter, Joie.

This is what I've done with it so far:
