One Picture of Excitement!
Sometimes one wonderful thing - one saying, one picture, one smile - can lift your entire day! For me, this day, it was already a happy day (birthday for one of my kiddos) but one picture made everyone super excited! [...]
Laud is One!
We don’t usually do much for one year birthdays as I’ve found my babies are rarely interested in anything yet; they want to eat the paper wrapping instead of get to the toy, not really interested in cake or icing yet, and would rather play musical baby than sit still. [...]
He Sings in the Backseat
Our baby-toddler enjoys singing!
