[blparent] techniques for checking out your baby

[Veronica Smith]

I had to laugh, when Gab was tiny and we first brought her home from the 
hospital, I went to put on one of those tiny night shirts but for some 
reason I could not get it over her head.  Well it made me very frustrated 
and I started to cry.  My husband suggested that instead of putting it over 
her head, I should pull it up from the bottom.  Imagine that, it worked much 
better. One of the first times i brought her in to the doctor for a check 
up, I was embarrassed that the Dr pulled lint out from tetween her toes.  I 
don't think I ever washed there.
Smile! V
