Breast is best?

December 24, 2007

We arrived safely on Thursday after an uneventful flight (Oliver was awesome and slept most of the trip – some teenage boys even complemented us on how well-behaved he was – we told them that it was just luck, I felt so bad for the baby, and the parents, of the little girl who cried [...]
