This is not my first visit to Phoenix, but my first to see 5 month old niece. It amazes every single time to see these tiny tots and their intelligence of this human world when they are just a few months old! Being the eldest child in the family, I grew up with brothers, sisters and cousins, a total of 8 younger to me; the youngest of them at age of 16yrs now. Yet it an amazement!
