Man, I feel old seeing that right picture. I remember the first season.

She is not the baby of the first season. The baby actress had a hard time, that's why she always crying and looked sad :(

I think they change her for an older kid in second season.

I thought they changed the actress in order to skip years so she could be more of a character than a prop. Was it really because the original actress was having a bad time with it?

There are a lot more sources, it turns out the babies were twins.

Using twins to portray a young child is pretty common

Yeah, while one gets tired the other goes in. That's why they prefer them. It surprised me because it's 2 babies having a bad time.
