Happy Blogiversary to Me!

That’s right, thenextstopwillbe is officially one year old today. What happens at twelve months, developmentally speaking? Starting to stand and/or walk? Would I be talking yet? Maybe some simple words, like “blog”? Solid food? Probably would still be pooping my shorts.

M.I.A.
