Defiant at 2

Baby Girl

The other day I had a day off from work while my parents attended some medical appointments. It was a pretty good day off with baby girl. We did a little shopping, had lunch, made silly faces in the car…you know, typical day out with a toddler. While out shopping, we bought the Munchkin Turtle [...]
