"Who's my big boy? Huh, who's my big boy... You are!" My mum said, tickling my tummy, causing me to squeal with laughter.

My mum laughs with me. I love her laugh. It's so calming and peaceful.

Minutes later, my dad comes walking through the door after a day of work. He comes over to greet mum and kisses her on the cheek, soon picking me up from her arms and giving me a big, fat kiss on my cheek. I giggle at him.

"How's my amazing family?" He asked.

I clapped my hands and shrieked. "Dadada!"

Both my mum and dad chuckled at me, my dad planting a kiss on my forehead.

"Oh honey, I wanted to tell you. You remember Jack from my work?"

She nodded her head. "The really nice one with the goatee?"

He nodded his head. "Yeah, he has a son named Philip who is the same age and Daniel. He wants them to have a bit of a hang-out... but for babies."

My mum tilted her head, smiling. "I would love that... and I think Dan would too." She said, tickling my tummy a bit more.

My dad set me down on my playmat as him and mum walked into the kitchen.

Who's Philip?
