Okay, so everybody else has all these exciting fictional books on their lists. Am I a nerd or what? The only books I ever get around to picking up nowadays are instructional/self-help. Maybe that's not only because I am a nerd but need a LOT of help.

Anyways, this book was giving to me by one of my sisters when my first baby was born. I have read the chapters that pertain to my children as they grow. I pulled it out to help me figure out some discipline issues we are having (namely, I don't have a clue how to discipline), and I remembered what a good resource this is. It is the official book of the Focus on the Family Physicians Resource Council, U.S.A. and is very Christian centered. Great counsel in here.

Jodi gave me this. It is the first thing I go to when I have questions.

I use the growth charts in the back to track my children's growth. The pictures in the back are helpful.

I have found this book to be a great resource. I am a first time mom and it has helped answer many questions.
