Here is my Friday Firsts: The Happiest Toddler on the Block – by Harvey Karp, M.D. (ISBN: 0-553-80256-9)

“A first step is like watching the history of human civilization from small fishy things to Neanderthals unravel in an instant before your eyes” – Anna Quindlen and Nick Kelsh, Naked Babies

The first sentence in Chapter 1 is a quote from another story/book/article. It does kind of give me some insight as to what I will be reading – the comparison between toddlers and Neanderthals! Who would have thought? ;)
