I know that I said I would not worry about my daughter meeting her milestones on time, but I cannot help but be a teensy bit concerned that she is nearing six months of age and has not rolled over once. She actually quite enjoys the first 5-10 minutes of each tummy time. She looks up at me, makes a grab for her toys, and even plays "superman" (which is what I like to call the below pose): But as soon as she gets bored, or gets tired (whichever happens first), she will start the pity cries.

Mar 03. 2011

Any dog owner can attest to the fact that walking your dog in the rain is a giant PITA. And those adorable doggie raincoats? They don't work so well with dogs (ahem, Comang!) who freak out at the mere idea of having anything on their heads. Enter the Dogbrella. Selling on Hammacher Schlemmer for $29.95, the genius of this combination umbrella and dog leash is almost difficult to see through all the comedy. ...
