Earlier this month, I went to France to stay with my best friend, her husband and their baby a week before his christening. Since we live far apart, we don't get to see each other often - so far, since his birth, we've seen each other three times - a week at a time. I stayed with them when he was only three weeks old, then they came to visit me when he was seven months old, and he is now one year old. The good thing about living so far away is that we have to actually stay together...
