This weekend our daughter had her First Birthday Party!
Here is what I think parents should know about First Birthdays:
1. First birthdays are mainly for parents and not children. Your baby won't understand that everybody gathered to celebrate her birthday.
2. Your baby won't remember how fancy and nice the party was.
3. Ideal place for a birthday party is your house if you live in one. Your baby will feel confident and comfortable in a familiar environment.

Here is my criteria how to find a good pediatrician:
1. Pediatrics office has to be near your home. I am very lucky to be living in the city, because if there are any concerns regarding baby's health doctor's office is within walking distance. I do not need to worry about getting into the care, finding parking, etc.
2. I prefer a pediatrician who has kids herself.
3. Pediatrics office must have a hot 24/7 calling line.

Positives:
1. My baby is not allergic to wipes by Seventh Generation.
2. Affordable. Count of 70 costs around $3.50.
Negatives:
1. Packaging states that wipes are unscented. Well, that's a lie. The smell is very strong and it is extremely unpleasant!
2. Does not come in re-sealable packaging. It comes in a tub, but tub won't fit into your diaper bag.

I think baby showers are extremely difficult to handle for an 8 months old pregnant women. Here is why:
1. It is a stressful event to organize, unless mom-to-be is not the one who organizes it. Will she like it if she is not involved? ...
2. Mom-to-be must smile all the way through the event. Difficult.
3. Mom-to-be has to pretend that she likes all the gift. A lot of people ignore the fact that there is a
baby registry and bring whatever they feel is "so cute and adorable" and sometimes not useful at all.

1. The sweater has to be long. When babies sit, crawl or move their backs get exposed, so buy a longer sweater to keep them warm and comfortable.
2. High collar or a hoodie is a must! It will keep your baby's neck and head warm and you will be confident that she will not catch a cold.
3. Neutral color. It has to match all the outfits. Brown, grey, ivory is a good option.

Here is my list of the best and most useful gifts for soon to become parents:
1. Diapers. You can never go wrong with diapers. I would suggest getting Pampers, because they are the best, but either way, any diapers are always appreciated. Size Newborn and size 1 parents will use for the first three months. Baby goes through at least 8 diapers a day, so if you would like to give a two week diaper supply buy a pack of 100+. Do not worry, there can never be too many diapers.

Positives:
1. Aquaphor is the best healing ointment when it comes to treating dry skin! When our baby's skin was dry, I use to cover her in Aquaphor before giving her the bath, because Aquaphor will prevent water from drying her skin. I also massaged her substituting apricot oil with Aquaphor. In 2 to 4 days the dryness was gone.

1. You have to be in a calm, preferably sound free environment: living room, bedroom, a bench in the park, or a quiet table at the restaurant.
2. Do not search the web, text nor watch a movie. Be with your baby!
