The UK is in the middle of a heatwave and I'm hating it. I'm a pale person with Irish ancestry, I do not do Summer, the heat, the sun, the insects. And sadly my son seems to be the same way.

Frey at 9 months
Frey is nine months, yes nine months, I can't believe it. I thought I would break down this post the same as I did for his six month update.
