The Youngest

Among the cousins of nine, that is. I am just glad that my sister's friends took some photos recently of my nephews and nieces back home. Nabulong man ang hidlaw ko.Anyway, the Tatapilla is quite happy looking at the photos online. He seems to miss them all so it's a nice way of reminding him about them.

The article suggests that based on studies, it is 20 months. The mother has to get pregnant while the first child is on his 11 months.I strongly disagree on this. There are so many factors.
