on Babies

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. ~Leo J. Burke

Babies are such a nice way to start people. ~Don Herrold

A baby is a blank cheque made payable to the human race. ~Barbara Christine Seifert

If you were to open up a baby's head - and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should - you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland. ~Dave Barry

A good example of minority rule is a baby in the household.

I love these little people. And it is not a slight thing when they, who so fresh from God, love Us. (Charles Dickens)

It's the little blessings that help us see just how lovely life can be.

Roses 'round the door, babies on the floor, who could ask for more?

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into thousands of pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. -- James Matthew Barrie (from Peter Pan)

You rose into my life like a promised sunrise,brightening my days with the light in your eyes. (Maya Angelou)

The Miracle of Love
(Maureen Hawkins>
Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were an hour old I would die for you
This is the miracle of love.

A Baby is...
A baby is cuddles and tickles on toes,the sweet scent of powder, a kiss on the nose!A baby is Teddy bears, rattles, and pins,meals at midnight, giggles and grins.

Worth Living For
A baby will make love strongerDays shorter, Nights longerBankroll smaller, Clothes shabbier,The past forgotten,And the future worth living for.

Toddler Property Laws
If I want it, it's mine.
If it's in my hand, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
If we are building something together, all of the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it's mine.
If I think it's mine, it's mine.
If I give it to you, and change my mind later, it's mine.
Once it's mine it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what.


“A two-year old is kind of like having a blender, but you don't have a top for it.”
Jerry Seinfeld


“A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother” Mark Twain


“I can't think why mothers love them. All babies do is leak at both ends.”
Douglas Feaver

“Every baby has turned into a ticking time bomb that can go off in your hand.”

Little Feet (Put on scrapbbook page with baby’s footprints)
Two little feet, ten little toes Leave their impressions today Soon they will wear two little shoes And be running an jumping at play. Two little feet, too little time Before they are walking to school... Kicking a rock or skipping a rope Wading a puddle or jumping a pool. Two little feet, one little child Will soon go their own way But footprints in my mind recall They stood here yesterday.

My Footprints (put with baby's footprints in scrapbook)
Someday I'll jump through puddles, take a stroll or run a race. Someday I'll walk across the street or maybe walk in space. Someday I'll scale a mountain or I'll join a ballet corps. Someday I'll walk a tightrope or explore the ocean floor. Someday these feet will do some things that only heaven knows, but for today they're happy, just to wiggle all their toes!

Perfection
You are more perfect than I could have hoped, more beautiful than I could have dreamed, more precious than I could have imagined . . . . . . I love you more than I could have known

Rock-a-bye Baby
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow For babies grow up, we've learned to our sorrow... So quiet down cobwebs, Dust go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep. -Wendy Lyn

No such thing as FAILURE

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
- Thomas Alva Edison

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong,
than to be always right by having no ideas at all. - Edward DeBono

"A failure is a man who has blundered but is not capable of
cashing in on the experience." - Elbert Hubbard

New Blog

I need another new blog like I need another hole in my head! Ha ha!

So WHY am I starting this? Really, it is more for myself than anyone else. I keep telling myself that when I hear an inspirational quote, I need to save it somewhere. I thought why not in a blog, and perhaps someone else might be inspired, too.
