Goo goo ga ga

1. I just remembered I can drink kombucha again! Come here, you fizzy bottle of love. 2. Tom is the diaper king.. and I still kind of fail at it. Tom changes most of the diapers when heโ€™s home, but when itโ€™s just me, Iโ€™m just not as talented. Letโ€™s just say when she had…

Baby Language
