Things I babbled on these past two weeks… When should babies learn to fall asleep on their own? (If you said straight out of the womb you would be correct yet oh. so. wrong.)

Something has happened that I didn’t see coming. And yet it makes perfect sense. I’ve said before that I have a hard time looking at photos of myself from dark periods of my life.
