Singing

Any other toddler here able to sing full songs (not with proper words)? My girl is so in tune and can sing full songs after hearing them for just a few times. Not sure whether this is something that most toddlers a do or she has a “good ear”

Outdoorsy baby

Anyone else got a baby who loves and only wants to be outside at all times? 😂 We’ve given her a very outdoorsy upbringing so far and now it’s somewhat causing minor issues now haha. Inside the house, winey and complaining, outside the house, happy as Larry. We live in the park at this point 😂
