I Made It

Parents do so much for their children. That’s a given. But, what about a new baby? What have they done for their parents and families? Yes, they’re small. Yes, they don’t talk or move much, but the truth is they made a whole bunch of new things happen already! Here’s a tale from baby’s point of view. The baby you love might be small, but boy or girl, are they ever powerful!
