Of course, whatever is so attractive in this bedside box, kept us up a few nights, but she is sleeping like an angel right now.

Zoya has been super fun, learning something new each day. Yesterday when she didn’t want her diaper changed she suddenly burst out with na, na, na, na, na; which is exactly what her daddy tells her No. O boy

She is starting this Friday strong.
