  • My walking, talking little girl has just turned two

    But as far as I’m concerned she’s still my babyMy daughter has turned two, so we can no longer really justify calling her a baby, which is absurd because she is a baby; a baby who can walk and run and say more words each day, but a baby nonetheless. She screams less than she used to and sleeps a lot more. Her interests include lifting things.
