Hi - thanks for the read and I hope I don't disappoint. Your baby and dog are both adorable, BTW. Both bring out my Storyteller side (look up Navajo Indian lore if you're curious, but short-cut is older communal wise-woman). I know how scary it is, as a newbie myself - but please take the plunge and post something. You never know until you try and I guarantee at least JacceB and I will fan you. And post more pictures of that happy child - been a long time since my own sons were that small - lol!
