For all of you new parents, I came across a great website called Ask Dr. Sears, which has in-depth discussions and a variety of suggestions on nearly all the baby topics such as sleeping, formulas, etc. Just go to the links on the left side of the home page and it will connect you to that topic. It also has additional links within the comments to get even more information. I like this site because it has great practical advice based on sound infant and early childhood research and tried and true practices.

[Admin note: Sorry Aunt Mary, but I editted the title. Something strange happened. -S]
What’s wrong with this picture?
Len and I have been taking care of Ciccio for Lisa and Nick while they are vacationing in Florida for the winter break week. Does that sound right? I didn’t think so!
We love Ciccio (cheech-o), however he is still a puppy and a huge puppy at that. That combination has left us a bit worn out. He never seems to tire out and we are doing our best to make that happen! Barney thinks he has been attacked by a tornado, because Ciccio comes at him from all sides. Although, when Barn has had enough, he does give Ciccio a sound barking and a bit of snarling which makes Ciccio jump away for at least 30 seconds! We do have his taking of allergy pills licked (pun intended). Coated with peanut butter, they just slide down his throat once he has licked them off our fingers. It’s an art to know when to pull your fingers away before you feel his teeth! We have to have a separate bit of peanut butter for Barney (the placebo, I guess) or else he feels left out! Dogs are so much fun!!!!
