Can’t seem to get much blogging done these days. So instead, I thought I’d at least share a photo of some holiday hijinx around here. Noob Kitty looks *almost* as amused as Noob Baby, doesn’t she? I have been seriously out of commish these days with the holidays honing in faster than ever. And now that I have Noob Baby Version 2.5 (that… Read More

Guest Post: Baby Sign Language Beginner’s Tips

Oh yeah, and when I say “just got back”, I mean … a… Read More
