Babyhood by Paul ReiserMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This gave me lots of laughs. I didn't seek it out, just randomly found it in the non-fiction section at the library when I was looking for Babywise (never found it even though the electronic card catalog said it was on the shelf). This book made me a bit nostalgic for Mad About You, as Paul Reiser has the same sense of humour in the book as he infused into that show. It's just a good, funny memoir about becoming a parent. Enjoyed it.
Happy Chaos by Soleil Moon FryeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another fun parenting memoir -- which I found at the library on the new biographies shelf by the checkout. I loved Punky as a kid (one of my best Halloween costumes was as her ... although I lost my knee bandana and that still haunts me). She wrote the book sort of with the help of her Twitter followers and Facebook fans -- the start of each chapter has quotes from those people responding to questions about parenting. I kind of skipped over those, but otherwise liked reading about her life, her pregnancies and deliveries, and her parenting strategies. Fun read.

I can't even figure out whether we have the exact date of birth documented here on your blog.
(and oh how I wish I'd have known right along what the date was, for the chance I might have had cause to collect various periodicals with the right (or nearly right) date on them)
