I like to consider myself pretty "up" on all things healthy. I'm a fitness instructor, and I have taken continuing education courses in nutrition and diet. Aside from that, I've been on diets of every variety since I was...
It's been proven that by the time infants are 9 to 10 months old, they're fully capable of knowing what they want; however, they fail to be able to communicate their needs outside of grunting, crying, or "sometimes" pointing....
As a former first grade teacher, I've had the privilege of teaching many, many kids how to read. Getting to see the hard work pay off when the skills all come together and a child "gets it" is one...
I just recently moved my 20 month old son, Riverson, in to the same room with his 3 year old big brother, Langston, a couple of weeks ago. We're in serious preparation for a baby girl, who will be...
