"Three," Beth says, then laughs softly. "Sometimes I can't believe it. I remember when she was just born, how small she was, the way it sounded when she cried. So small and even her crying seemed too quiet. She was so hungry most of the time right after, we didn't have enough formula for her at first..."

Then she smiles and says, "She's not quiet anymore, though, jeez. That kid can really shout when she wants to." And Beth loves that she has the chance to do so now, that she can run around the apartment with her toys and no one has to worry about being heard.
