na's pictures, was Re: Update on - thanks everyone for your responses

[Guest guest]

I looked at na's exit casting pictures. I was laughing the whole time. My Georgia is a very intense baby when she is mad, or even annoyed. She has only one volume!! I was just imagining the noise level in the room, even while na was trying to eat the lollipop. I don't know whether it was funny to you at the time but I've had to learn to take Georgia's extreme emotions not so seriously all the time! LOL She's going to be a poster child teenager some day!!!
