This one doesn't seem to make sounds: http://www.amazon.com/Horse-Plush-Rocking-Wooden-Rocker/dp/B002E82HFM/ref=sr_1_54?ie=UTF8&qid=1321979708&sr=8-54   It was kind of shocking how all of the plush ones are noise...

I knew DS was ready when he was 5 (almost 6) months and he grabbed a piece of steamed broccoli off my plate, proceeded to stuff it in his mouth and chowed down. He'd been sitting unassisted for awhile, had good head control, and was...

I started out avoiding Santa altogether and planned to tell DD it was a pretend game some families play when it did eventually came up. When she started kindergarten, she found out allll about him at school, so I did take the...

My DS has always hated clothing. When I put a shirt on him, he tugs at it so fiercely he tends to knock himself over, and he drags himself around the house by his own collar. Sometimes he reminds me of that scene in Fight Club when the...
