"Your baby's brain doubles in size during the first year of life. This extraordinary brain growth is, according to Dr. Allan Schore, a professor of interpersonal neurobiology at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, "experience dependent" -- that is "reliant on social interaction" with the mother."

"For the first few weeks it may seem like a baby does nothing but eat, poop, and sleep. But the truth is very different; an infant is creating 40,000 synapses (connections between neurons in the brain) per second."

• Reading this passage and knowing there's so much #truth here. My 8-month old clings desperately to me like his life depends on it...because it does •

"There is no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
Need to hear that some days (ok, most days)

• When I saw this at the library, I snapped it up. It looks right up my alley, as far as nonfiction goes right now •

The title of this book sounds like it's anti-working-mom, but so far I agree with its assertion that is not so, but rather makes a case for presence in varying circumstances. Even working limited hours from home and only having 1 kid, I often feel Iike there's not enough of me to go around. And this quote about the house and dinner is SO me. I love to cook and would love a cleaner house, but something's gotta give! And it's usually those 2 things.
