Little man N at 1 year 5 months old

So, as it was with J’s last update, it’s been a while since I last posted one for N too – which was his 1 year 3 month old one so a couple of months ago now. Since then he has really transformed into a proper little toddler and forever left babyhood behind!

The newest book we have reviewed though is slightly different, in that it makes a noise by itself when you lift the flap! I Like To Squeak! How Do You Speak? is the story of a mouse who goes around asking the farm animals how they speak as he thinks it’s strange and that his squeak is …
