My guy's officially headed towards the two-year mark. He turned 20 months today -- and I cannot believe how fast he's growing up! He's finally starting to listen, and with listening comes real words. (Ok, so he calls milk "milky" -- but still, the words

Last summer we had to rush our three month old to the ER. He was being lethargic and fussy at the same time. I gently felt the top of his head to comfort him and realized his fontanel (the little soft spot) was sunk in. I remembered reading that it was

TMI Alert -- But I Need Your Help! I guess my little guy has figured out that he has "equipment" down there. Boys will be boys, I suppose. Every time I take off his diaper, he wants to pee and laughs with glee when he can -- especially in the bathtub.

I totally blew it last year for father's day. I bought DH a tie -- albeit a nice one. This year I wasn't going to make the same mistake. Inspired by The Nest Baby Daddy's Day Gift Guide , I ordered a print from dna11 . What is it? Consider it the new
