50 Celebrities Compete for the Hottest Names

Unique celebrity baby names have received extra media attention
recently. In an attempt to summarize the newest trend, the UK
Times Online has published a list of what they pinned as the "50
Craziest Celebrity Baby Names."

The UK Times makes the suggestion that celebrity babies are
"blessed with a moniker likely to give... problems in the school
playground." It is important to keep in mind that the offspring
of the stars will be able to change their names with ease, and
nedless to say, money should not be a problem. Who is to say
that the unique names really will cause any problems?

All is relative. A little Pilot Inspektor who is surrounded on
the playground by little Cameras and Bluebells, will most likely
not feel different or strange. As the unique baby names trend is
becoming the norm for the newest American babies, it is time to
leave the outrageous headlines to the more serious concerns of
the world, and let both the parents and the babies of tomorrow
enjoy their right to be unique and playful with their baby name
decisions.

The Social Security administration released the most recent data
on US naming tends, pointing to a large increase in the use of
unusual names. Baby girl names such as Nevaeh (which is the word
'heaven' spelled backwards) and Brooklyn (a place name that has
become commonly used as a first name in recent years) are
skyrocketing in national popularity. It is very likely that the
celebrity baby names labeled as "crazy" today will be the usual
tomorrow. With the increasing amount of babies being graced with

Stop Crying!

Question:
My child cries easily, often, and usually for unimportant reasons. The
result around our house has been a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story. When he's
crying about a valid injury, nobody listens. Why does he cry so much, and
how do I get him to stop?

Think about it:
When your son was a baby, his cries brought love and attention. He's just
never learned how to replace the crying with more mature ways of calling
for help. He'll need your help to learn how to change his behavior.

Don't demand that he stop:
Don't say, "Stop crying," since that never works, and only makes you angry
when your child cries harder! Instead, tell your child what you do want, "I
need to hear your words. Tell me what's wrong. Use your big boy voice."
Sometimes it helps to get him started, "Georgie, talk to me. Say, 'Mommy, I
want...'"

Help him understand his feelings:
Acknowledge the reason your child is crying to validate his feelings.
"You're so frustrated because you want a cookie" or "I know you really
wanted to go with Daddy." Often crying is a call for understanding.
Acknowledgment can offer what your child needs to hear, and may help him
stop crying and move past his sad or angry emotions.

Don't respond:
If the crying is manipulative (for example, you said no more ice cream and
your child is crying), simply ignore it and leave the room.

Is there a reason?
Determine if the crying is related to insufficient sleep, or poor eating
habits. If so, move bedtime earlier or have a daily nap or rest time for
re-charging. Also, watch your child's eating habits and make sure he's
getting three meals plus healthy snacks, and not going more than three
hours without food.

Quality time:
Increase the amount of one-on-one time your child gets from the important
adults in his life. Sometimes crying is a plea for attention. Just remember
to give the attention prior to the start of the crying, not as a reward for
crying.

Don't be so tough:
Recognize that your child is a sensitive person by nature. Use lighter
discipline. Often, with this type of child, a firm tone is often enough to
get your point across. Also, try to use alternate discipline methods such
as distraction or the use of humor to keep him on track. Avoid being too
harsh, as this behavior will just prolong the incidents of crying.

Happy face/Sad face:
Using index cards (or small pieces of paper) make ten cards that show happy
faces, colored bright yellow on the front side. Draw sad faces, colored
blue, on the backside. Poke holes in the cards and put a small loop of yarn
through the hole. Hang the cards on a piece of cardboard or a key holder
smiling face up. (Or tape them to the refrigerator.) Show them to your
child in the morning. Explain that each time your child cries you will turn
a happy face over into a sad face. Say that if there are more happy faces
than sad at the end of the day when you are putting pajamas on, then you
will read an extra book (or some other pleasant treat you child can look
forward to). Often, the faces alone are enough to motivate a child. (Expect
a strong reaction the first time you turn a happy face over! Since this is
so visual, children are often angry when you turn the face to a sad one.)

Newborn Sleep Slip Ups Most Moms Make - Are you making these 5 slip ups?

Newborn Sleep Slip Ups Most Moms Make - Are you making these 5 slip ups?

Newborn not sleeping well at night? Which of these 5 blunders are you making?

(1) Making the room nice and dark and quiet when your child naps during the
day.

You may suppose this is a good plan in hopes that the infant will sleep
better so you can get some rest. BUT, it really isn't helpful in the long
run - i.e. Bedtime. When your child takes naps during the day have plenty
of daylight in the house. Let normal household and street noises exist. The
less time the infant sleeps during the day could mean better sleep at night.

(2) Letting your child just lie around in the crib or child carrier. It is
tempting to just let the child lie around so you
can do other things. However, once again this is not in your best interest.
the tot needs to be active when awake. This could result in sleep at night.
Don't you sleep better at night when you have been out all day running around?

Find ways to introduce physical activity for the baby. Play games, take the
child out for a fun outing to see new places and things. My little niece
loves to people watch.

(3) Picking up your kid as soon as the crying starts at night.

Believe it or not, the tot might not even be really awake! I know I did
this all the time with my kid. I did not know any
better. I learned that if you rub the stomach, the newborn just might stop
crying and go back to sleep.

(4) Play games that excite the Infant.

When all the family is home at night they want to play with the baby. That
is okay as long as the activities are RELAXING for the tot! Tell Dad not to
play airplane or catch the child in the air before bedtime. If you have
other kids, let them know not to excite the Infant.

The best thing would be to hold your Infant and read. Clear out the crib
i.e. get the toys out. Give the kid a favorite toy to settle down with.

(5) Have no pattern for bedtime.

So, one night you do everything in your room after the bath. The next night
in the living room and the next night in the infant's room or even the
kitchen! This is not a good notion. Your baby needs to recognize when it is
time for bed, end of the day -finito!

So do your best to begin the schedule at the same time everyday and in the
same room. Have a unique nighttime song i.e. lullaby or music. Have a
bedtime book to read.

And I'd like to encourage you to use these tips. And now I would like to
offer you free access to a 5 week baby sleep tips
pamphlet at http://www.freebabysleeptips.com

Top Tips For Planning Great Baby Showers

Top Tips For Planning Great Baby Showers

Baby showers are parties thrown for friends that are pregnant. This practice has significantly changed over the course of the years and has gradually become more and more elaborate and planned.

Baby showers can make an expectant mother feel more secure in the fact that her friends are all pulling for her and giving moral and financial support. Usually the baby shower is organized by non-relatives. But today, there is is not abnormal to find family members, support group members, church friends and pretty much anyone except the expecting mother.

Who should you invite?
Usually, the guest list will only include those nearest and dearest to the expectant mother. It wouldn't hurt if she gets a first look at the guest list so that she can suggest who should be invited. If you are planning a surprise baby shower, you will have to do a little research on who should be attending instead of running the list through the expectant mother.

If the child is not a firstborn, you may opt to keep the number of guests down to the closest to the mother. Firstborn baby showers tend to have a larger guest list since it is, after all, the mothers first time.

The thing to remember is that the nature of baby showers is intimacy. So, for any baby shower party, try making the gathering one of intimate friends.

You could use informal ways to invite these guests: email, phone and others. Invitation cards and other letters are the best way, however, as they provide a tangible, traceable evidence of invitation. Plus, it is the most sure and formal way to invite a person and in many cultures the only way.

The nature of the party is probably going to tend towards the feminine side; if the organizers of the party have a provision for this, then inviting men would be fine. It also depends on the men, since the party may dwell on topics such as pregnancy, children, and other motherly topics, they might not be that excited to join. All in all, it depends on the preference of the organizers.

Anywhere!

As long as it can keep with the placid and fun nature of the occasion, any place would be fine.
The more usual places on baby shower lists are backyards, formal halls, restaurants, and basically any room that has the amenities to make a baby shower successful. Just make sure the
venue is not crowded and stressful to the mother-to-be. It also pays to make sure the venue is set long before the actual baby shower happens.

When to Throw a Baby Shower

Usually this is one or two months before her due. The baby shower is the perfect time to get your friend baby needs and stuff she may not have had time to purchase yet. It has to be well-timed though not too close to the due date, and not to far as to whittle down the
excitement.

Baby showers are a pleasant surprise to expecting mothers. It takes a lot of the stress of expecting a child off of their minds and provides a means for friends to show support and concern (and of course, baby gifts) to expecting friends. A properly coordinated baby shower will be greatly appreciated and forever remembered by mothers long after they have delivered
their children.

Toy Solutions at Grandma and Grandpa's Home

Toy Solutions at Grandma and Grandpa's Home

What do these three people have in common?

1) These grandparents' grandchildren live in a different state than they

live in and the children only visit twice a year. 

2) The grandparents live in a condo with limited space, 

3) another grandparent is 'obsessed with having a picture perfect home'.

The common dominator is they all love their grandchildren and want to have toys for them when they come to visit and play yet they don't know how to store toys without taking up a lot of space in their home. Organizing toys in small spaces can be a challenge. Here are some tried and true solutions:

1.Make a home for toys. Buy a container with a lid and fill it  with toys. The size of the container will determine how many  toys you can have. Plastic containers on wheels that slide under

a bed are a solution for those with small spaces. Plastic  drawers that stack and are on wheels could be stored in a closet  between visits. A wicker basket with a lid can double as a toy

chest and a coffee table. A chest of drawers not being used or  designating a couple of drawers can store children's costumes,  games and puzzles. A book case in a guest room or some other

infrequently used area of the home could hold books, puzzles and  larger items like dolls and large trucks. The size of the toy  could also determine if it is one for you to have in your home.

2.When using drawers for storage label the drawers by using a  label maker so the children know where to return the toy. For  younger children take a photo of what is in the drawer and tape  it to the drawer, either on the outside or if you prefer on the  inside of the drawer on the side where it is still visible. Keep  small pieces together in inexpensive plastic boxes or zip lock

bags. Using a sharpie permanent pen write on the container or  bag the game or toy that 'lives' inside.

3.Another solution to having toys for children to play with at  grandma and grandpas is to have the parents bring the children's  favorite toys when they come to play. However I prefer to have

toys that are different than the ones they have at home; ones  they can only play with at grandma and grandpas. This makes the  toys even more special. Besides the toys, stock activities that  can be done together to build fun memories with those precious  grandchildren when they come over and visit. Some ideas are  puzzles, clay, and dress up clothes to put on plays or for just pretending to help their imaginations grow. Take pictures of  them playing and make a little book to give to their parents as  a surprise or for some holiday like mother's or father's day.

So now you have the toys the kids enjoy playing with, the  containers for them to live in and a storage area has been  designated for the containers when they aren't being used; there

is one more thing to consider. Children need to know the  expectation is when they get the toys out to play with they are  also responsible to put them away. After play time or before

they go home leave time for them to put the toys away where they  belong. This teaches responsibility and a sense of ownership.  You won't dread them coming over and having a lot of extra work  to do cleaning up after them when they leave and you'll look  forward to them coming again.

Some Ideas for Baby Gift Baskets

Some Ideas for Baby Gift Baskets

The most magical moment in the whole world when a new baby

born. This moment is very special and you see many fantastic

emotions in this moment likes the baby mother happens and his

father tears.

If you have someone close to you, and he has a new baby then you

should give him or her an amazing baby gift to express how much

you are happy for him or for her.

There are many baby gifts in the market and the price of these

gifts various from couple of dollars to thousands of dollars,

but the gift is not the most important thing because the feeling

associated with the gift is more important than the gift.

You should also give the baby family's the gift in sweet baby

gift basket.  You will see a lot of types of gift basket but

you should get one that made from wood and contains a lot of

puppets like batman and superman if the baby is boy, and if the

baby is girl then the gift basket should contains a snow white

puppet.

You can also associate with the gift some balloons but make sure

that the pictures on the balloons are funny and express your

feelings.

There is another thing that you should also think about which is

the family gifts. Some people just focus in the baby gifts and

forget about the baby parent's and the baby sister's and

brother's. You should make sure that you give the baby family's

some gifts, and do not focus in expensive gifts. You can get

inexpensive gifts like jewelry accessories that made from

gemstones and you can get this accessory under 50 dollars.

Finally, You should always give your baby gift in cool and funny

baby gift basket.

what's a name?

Shakespeare may say "what's a name", but if our baby  are no have name, and who are they. 

The name is very important, there are used in all of aspect in life , maybe  its not just a name, there are more. With name, someone can know who are they selves. I think in the world, not see, not heard, the people with bad name, like stupid, bad,  etc.  God name are rich, the people hero like Christ, Newton, Ronaldo, Ballack, or artist like Madona ,Michael Jackson, Leonardo di Caprio, All Pacino,   etc can be inspired for the parent for their baby name.  Some celebrity baby names maybe have received extra media attention recently, because their sense of their baby name.
