December 1990 – Magic is in the air

It’s 7.30 on a sunny morning of the first week of December in the Pacific Ocean. Little Millie is now 9 months old and is being more and more playful. She is such an adorable and irresistible child loved by everyone in her surroundings. Mum and dad are so lucky to be gifted by angel Millie.
