Wow, I just realized I haven't posted since MAY. Yikes. When they start walking, I guess its just all over. At any rate, my little Goose said the cutest thing this past Sunday that I thought I'd share in my first ever "Tiny Talk Tuesday" submission:About a week ago, Dylan pointed at a cross we have hanging on the wall and we said "That's Jesus", he repeated "Jesus".The next week the scenario repeated, only this time Goose said "Jesus....Whoaaa...

But as just a quick note:Remember a few weeks ago when the news headlines contained a story about the safety of plastic baby bottles? Apparently many of them are made out of the "bad" kind of plastic. Meaning that the stuff that goes into the plastic can make its way into your baby's milk over time - which... Read Full Story
