Babies win over the world with love, hope and angelic smiles.
A baby is like the morning sunshine, it comes with the lights of love, hope, warmth, beauty and endless possibilities.
A baby is the hope and ultimate purpose of life, it is the best gift that life can give so we can enjoy life after life.
