Dr. Steven Parker put up a fun guess-the-celebrity post on his WebMD blog. Think you can identify a famous person from their early photos? Can you identify these kids?

I’ve never been good at “doing hair,” my own or anyone else’s. I figured having a baby girl meant that I’d have plenty of time and opportunities to practice.

I think it’s a great, innovative idea. I’m not too sure how well it would fit into [...]

Way back in December of ‘06 I wrote longingly of a future without diapers. Billions of diapers later, potty training is still but a tantalizing dream. At least I know that when the time is right, we’re all set with the ultra cool Potty Bench, from Boon. This baby’s got everything we’re going to need [...]
