If Only Babies Came With Instruction Manuals

February 17, 2012

Babies can be frustrating little creatures who can’t tell you what they want (JUST TELL ME WHY YOU ARE CRYING AND I WILL GLADLY FIX IT! I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG!!) and I really think most of the first year or so is spent trying to figure out what makes them tick. There [...]
