“Waddles can’t walk that fast!”

Holy Laundry, Batman!
So, I’ve pretty much spent the last three days doing laundry. Yes – three days! I’ve currently got my last load in the washer and dryer and it feels GREAT! I’ve washed all the baby clothes that we were either given or are borrowing and they’re sorted by size – newborn and 0-3 month, 3-6 [...]

He/she weighs around 5.5 lbs (!!!) and is around 20 inches long [...]
