It’s exhilarating and exciting…so much anticipation builds in you as you slowly climb up, up, up. But it’s calm. It’s slow paced.

Selah B, 7 months
Seven months old. Unbelievable. Infants are so easy, and then they have to go and cross the 6 month mark and get all complicated! š Once they hit 6 months they start eating, they start crawling, they start becoming ANOTHER CHILD, rather than just a baby.
