I have personally witnessed Ash's ability at pointing out the people in the photo album book that Amber has. So smart!
And such a gorgeous gal too! All of you with sons, better queue up ah!
Sadly, my Ems is not a looker (hahaha, sorry, Ems - but mummy loves you anyway!). And she can only say ONE word - "apple".
