ReplyDeleteWill you come do that for all of my kids, too?
He's such a cute and funny little guy. I love that we get this glimpse at him through your eyes. When we do see him he's generally either running around with his brothers or he's quiet. This is just fun
ReplyDeleteBoy he's a yapper isn't he. Gwen doesn't talk that much.
