Getting your little one to sleep like a baby can be a lot easier said than done. Huggies has compiled articles, advice and answers on how to get both you and your newborn snoozing soundly.
Or try browsing all categories.
Of course, there are many, many more reasons to love 'em—but let's start here.
1. Bedtime kisses. Eskimo kisses. Butterfly kisses. Heck, even snotty-nosed kisses.
2. Who else is going to point out that you have lipstick on your teeth?
3. Food shopping is no longer an unexciting event. Tantrum in aisle eight!
4. They're excellent at keeping your IQ up and running as you try to think of why apples come in two colors, clouds move, or boys have nipples.
5. All the things you're secretly happy to have taking up room in the freezer: popsicles, chicken nuggets, and ice cream (the flavorful, full-fat kind!).
6. They let you know "Your tummy is soft, Mommy," but in their minds that's a good thing.
7. Their ridiculously adorable jammies.
8. When the fever breaks at 3AM and they look at you like you're sent from heaven.
9. They're small enough that you really do need to go on the sled with them. Wheeeeee!
10. Did you ever think you'd marvel at things like airplanes and caterpillars again? And yet, amazing.
11. No joke, she's taught you stuff about the computer.
12. Their satiny skin, their actually-sweet-smelling morning breath, their pokey-outy tummies, the dimples in their bottoms. Basically everything that makes them little walking, talking Cupids.

Your baby will experience so many amazing movement milestones during her first year. There's a lot of action that takes place in between the first time she rolls over to the day she starts walking on her own! And capturing those precise moments in pictures can sometimes be challenging.
"The more active your baby is, the more patient you have to be to capture those movement milestones," says Lisa Turner a professional children's and baby photographer in Denver, Colorado. "It might take 50 to 100 shots to get one picture that is fantastic."
The good news is that you don't need to invest in a super-expensive camera, whatever you're willing to use on a regular basis will do. Here are the tips you need to take amazing pictures of your baby's precious movement milestones.
Proper lighting is essential.This is especially true when using a smartphone. You can't manually adjust the shutter speed on a smartphone camera, but those adjustments do happen automatically based on the amount of available light. "A dark setting is going to give you a slow shutter speed, which will make your picture turn out blurry," says Turner. "Having ample light allows you to capture baby's action and freeze it." Natural light is best, so head outdoors with baby or find a room with north-facing windows for consistent, even light.
If your cutie is walking, you're going to want to capture more than just a little speck standing solo in the backyard. To really photograph the action, get in close. Try engaging with your little one to capture natural expressions. Enlist an older sibling to serve as your official photographer's assistant and have her playfully talk to your little one while you snap the fabulous pics.
Is your sweet pea rolling over and picking up her head, but not sitting up yet? For best results, put a blanket down and stand over baby so that you can shoot pictures of her from above. If you've got a crawler, position her far enough away so that she can crawl toward you and you can take pictures of her in action. Try getting down low for an angle that will allow you to photograph baby's face as she moves toward you.
There are certain times of day that offer ideal lighting conditions for taking great pictures of your little one's movements. If you can, shoot your pictures first thing in the morning for some of the most pleasing light. Another great option is the last hour before sunset, which professional photographers often refer to as "the golden hour" because of the gorgeous and hazy golden light that is given off by the setting sun. If these two options don't work with baby's schedule, pick a shady spot outdoors at any time of day.
Once all of your fabulous pictures have been taken, you can create a keepsake scrapbook of baby's movement milestones. Before you print, do a quick search on editing apps so that you can add some finishing touches to your pics. Many apps offer filter options, cropping features, blurring tools, and more that will make your pictures look as if they where shot by a pro.

Valentine's Day has always been special for you and your partner. You may get a bunch of beautiful flowers or a box of chocolate truffles, or go out to an intimate dinner with champagne and candlelight.
But now your two has become three (or more) as baby enters the scene and the holiday takes on a whole different meaning. After all, is there anything that makes you love your partner even more than catching him making goo-goo eyes at your baby and singing a little tune while diaper-changing? Or finding baby snuggled on his chest while they both catch some well-deserved ZZZZs?
You know your expectations about the holiday have shifted if the idea of finding a sitter and trying to zip yourself into a non-maternity dress for a night out is anything but dreamy. Parenthood has changed your whole idea of romantic: finishing an entire meal together without being interrupted by baby's cries now qualifies. So perhaps it's time to find some new traditions. After all, Valentine's Day with a new baby is truly a celebration of love and the best moments are just being together.
Even though your baby is the new love in your life, don't overlook your partner. Try to carve out some time today when it's just the two of you…even if most of your talk is about the amazing new member of the family.
I always encouraged my husband to forgo the store-bought cards and write me some sentimental sweet nothings of his own to let me know what I really mean to him. I believe that something from the heart is always best. So grab a pen and remind your partner why you are together. And be sure to mention how appreciative you are for the wonderful things he or she does for you and baby. Now that's love!

Creating a bedroom or playroom that grows as baby develops can be a life saver for mom and dad. As you plan a living space for your little one, incorporating long-term furniture pieces, timeless decor, and items that encourage development will all help you not only stretch your decorating dollars — but build a space baby will love for many years to come.
Creating the perfect playroom for your baby can seem daunting. Color schemes, furniture, decor — where do you start? We talked to design experts about how to create a long-lasting bedroom or playroom for your child that will withstand the transition from baby to toddler years, and even beyond.
When mapping out your new baby's living space, consider designs you love. "Design (the room) in a way you will enjoy and that will soothe you," says Sherri Blum Schuchart of Jack and Jill Interiors Inc. (jackandjillinteriors.com). "In several years, your baby will have an opinion and should definitely have a say in how the room transitions into a room he or she can be proud of, and that reflects his or her individual style." But right now, your baby only needs a few things: love, safety, food, and comfort. You'll be spending countless hours feeding and loving the baby in the nursery and playroom, so make sure the design and decor feel right for you.
"Arrows, Aztec patterns, and woodlands animals, (foxes, squirrels, and raccoons) are today's hottest trends for boys and girls," says Blum Schuchart. "These themes, if not too 'cartoony,' can transition easily from toddlerhood playroom to teen hangout."
"Consider buying a convertible crib rather than a traditional crib that serves no purpose for the child once they outgrow the crib stage," suggests Blum Schuchart. "There are dozens of convertible cribs on the market today that transition from crib to toddler bed, and even later into full-size bed. This saves parents from needing to buy a completely new piece of furniture in the future."
When shopping for your crib, be sure to first do your research and check for current crib safety standards.
Instead of a changing table, consider securing a changing pad to the top of a dresser or in the main opening of a media center. These furniture pieces will long outlive a changing table, and can be used down the road to house toys, clothes, and more.
Safely securing shelves and open bookcases in your child's play space will give you a place to stow toys and baby supplies now — and a spot that later can house your child's favourite books, stuffed animals, clothes, or knickknacks.
Instead of a nursing glider, look for a comfy, padded armchair. A solid, timeless chair silhouette can be reupholstered as your baby grows to fit her developing and evolving style.

Everyone feels like celebrating when the weather starts to warm up. But even though many people may take a holiday vacation at this time, not everyone has the luxury of being able to take off for an extended spring break trip.
So if you're not going to be jetting away to some exotic locale—no worries! What matters most is quality time with your little ones, family and friends. Here are some fun ideas to help you celebrate springtime a little closer to home.
Swim in the hotel pool.
Even if you're not traveling, you can still experience the favorite part of every toddler's vacation—swimming in the pool—without paying for an expensive hotel stay and meals. Many upscale city hotels and
country resorts offer reasonably priced day passes that are made for people who just want to use the pool facilities and skip the overnight stay. With just a little research, you could find the perfect spot for a hotel pool getaway near you. Have worry-free water play with Huggies Little Swimmers disposable swim pants, now with your child's favorite characters.
Go on a baby animal safari.
Springtime means babies in the animal world. Head to your local zoo, or a farm or nature center, and spend the day exploring to see if you can spot any newborns. Load up a backpack with safari gear such
as binoculars, a magnifying glass and a mini notebook and colored pencils for drawing. Point out interesting animal behaviors to your little one and compare and contrast the care the baby animals receive to how you took care of your child when he was
a baby.
Get your hands dirty.
If weather allows, get in the dirt outside and plant something. Playing with dirt and mud is a great hands-on sensory activity for toddlers. You can also do this activity indoors by planting seeds in pots and
talking about how plants grow. By checking the pots every day, you and your toddler can watch the entire life cycle of a plant unfold, by watching the seed develop into a seedling and eventually an adult plant.
Host a "springathon" playdate.
Reach out to other moms and parents and invite them and their little ones to an extended playdate. After playing outdoors, serve up a simple spring-themed lunch by using flower
shaped cookie cutters to make a variety of sandwiches, then serve up a salad of spring greens and help the kids make their own flower pot dessert. Wrap things up with a story time activity, featuring spring-themed books read by the parents in the group.
Make a bird feeder.
Early spring is actually a great time to feed the birds in your neighborhood because there aren't many natural seed sources available for them at this time. And don't worry, making
your bird feeder doesn't have to involve using a hammer, nails and wood. There are lots of toddler-friendly ideas available online that require little more than birdseed, twine and peanut butter or vegetable shortening. You can use empty
toilet paper rolls, pinecones and even hollowed out orange rinds to create your birdfeeder and have lots of springtime fun.

With summertime in full swing, chances are there's plenty of sunshine and water play in your family's plans. Whether your baby or toddler is in a pool, the ocean, or a lake, a swim diaper is a water play essential. Keep your little one's bottom covered and comfortable while making sure the inevitable messes stay contained.
Why use swim diapers? Unlike regular diapers, swim diapers are made specifically for use in the water. They don't absorb liquid like everyday diapers so they won't swell up in the pool, and that also means they won't contain urine. What they do do (no pun intended) is help prevent the spread of fecal contamination and E. coli by keeping the inevitable poopy diaper contained. By helping to prevent the infection-causing bacteria from spreading in the pool, everyone stays healthier.
Disposable swim diapers come in various sizes and pull up easily, making it a cinch to slip them on right before your little one goes into the water. But since they don't absorb urine don't switch them out for regular diapers until your child is ready to go in the water. They should be changed as soon as they are soiled, preferably away from the pool area in a bathroom or designated changing area. Disposable swim diapers should be thrown away after every incident, and a new one put on baby before their next water activity. If you're at a beach or lake, you can put soiled diapers into an empty baggie until you have access to a garbage can. Swim diapers come in cute styles and patterns, but you can easily put on a bathing suit bottom right over them.
You should check your baby's diaper every 30 to 60 minutes. Keeping the pool contamination-free benefits everyone and helps keep a healthy swimming environment for all to enjoy. If you're potty training you may want to use a swim diaper just in case, but take your toddler to the bathroom for potty breaks on a regular basis.
Many public swimming areas, especially public pools, have their own rules about swim diapers. Some require different types of swim diapers or an additional swim pant, and regulations about where to change dirty diapers are usually posted. You can always call ahead to find out if your destination has specific rules about swim diapers.
Be sure to include swim diapers in your diaper bag this summer so you're always ready for your baby to join in the fun at the pool or beach without worrying about creating a poop-tastrophe!

"When my son was a baby, I'd gleefully announce 'Kiss Patrol!' and kiss him all over his belly. Now that he's 10, I yell, 'Kiss Patrol,' chase him around the house, tackle him, pin him down, and kiss his belly. Each time it gets harder to do, but I still win!"
—Sherry Belul, mother of one, San Francisco, California
"When Evan was a baby, I'd squish his cute little bottom and tell him he had sweet cheeks. It definitely made an impression on him! When we were at a wading pool when he was 2, he walked over to a little girl, patted her, and called her sweet cheeks! Me and the other mom both cracked up."
—Shana Davis, mother of two, West Linn, Oregon
"Our first son was 9 pounds when he was born. He was cute as a bug, so we called him 'Buglette.' When our second son started to walk, his toddling gait was so cutely troll-like that we came up with an appropriately cute troll-like nickname: 'Shtunkles.' My wife and I still use those names, in various forms, for codes and passwords in our lives!"
—Jamie Felberg, father of two, Lubbock, Texas
"I've always been partial to belly smooches—the more lip-smacking the better. My baby's reaction? Big belly laughs, of course!"
—Bob Brody, father of two, Queens, New York
"Once in awhile, I throw on my swimsuit and get in the tub with my son. He loves it when I squirt water at him with this little whale toy. It's just good, clean fun—literally!"
—Michael Kline, father of one, Woodland Hills, California
"You know that teardrop divot between your nose and your upper lip? On my twin baby boys, they are absolutely irresistible kissing spots. I swear, I must kiss their upper lips a million times a day."
—Melissa Clark, mother of two, Rapid City, South Dakota

Americans have always been a people on the move—on rails, roads, and waterways (for travel through the air, visit the National Air and Space Museum). In the transportation collections, railroad objects range from tools, tracks, and many train models to the massive 1401, a 280-ton locomotive built in 1926. Road vehicles include coaches, buggies, wagons, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and automobiles—from the days before the Model T to modern race cars. The accessories of travel are part of the collections, too, from streetlights, gas pumps, and traffic signals to goggles and overcoats.
In the maritime collections, more than 7,000 design plans and scores of ship models show the evolution of sailing ships and other vessels. Other items range from scrimshaw, photographs, and marine paintings to life jackets from the Titanic.

Well Tobi seems to have shown an interest in Sasuke but the why?
In chapter 573 Tobi says " Naruto is merely a pawn to be used to stimulate Sasuke". This leads me to believe that Sasuke possesses something that Tobi wants or needs to complete his moon eye plan.
Alot of people have been saying that Sasuke will activate the rinnegan while fighting Naruto, I think that while fighting Naruto Sasuke will activate something more powerful that the sage of six paths had which is basically the rinnegan and the sharingan mixed together in the same eye.
This is just a theory so feel free to tell me what you think

With the well-deserved buzz over Joe's Jeans newest denim drop, the Skinny Micro Flare, we were eager to have a quick Q&A with the creative director and mastermind behind the brand, Joe Dahan. Running ten years strong, he lets us in on the progression of the brand, his least favorite denim trend, and how to wear their newest look in the line.
Denim Therapy: How do you distinguish yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands around right now?
Joe Dahan: When I started Joe's 10 years ago, my idea was to create fits for different body types and show that every woman has a unique physique. These fits didn't exist then, but now fit has become the industry norm. With all the blogs, the Internet and e-stores, the customer is very savvy, so every season we're creatively challenged to offer the best pieces ever.
For 10 years, we've consistently remained true to who we are and to our customers—while growing and expanding. We now have a complete collection for men, women and kids that embodies a casual, chic lifestyle. And, we're still developing new silhouettes and working with innovative fine fabrics to create the impeccable fits our customers know and love.
DT: Does your team have any pre-designing rituals, especially when trying to create new and innovative designs year after year?
JD: We don't have any rituals per se, but there's an entire world from which to draw magnificent inspiration, so we make it a point to travel. We have an office in Paris that we visit regularly, as well as big cities like Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and New York. We also feel very lucky to live in Los Angeles, since it's so well known for its cool, casual attitude. It's our best laboratory.
DT: Describe the woman who represents your ideal target customer: the customer you have in mind when you're planning a collection.
JD: She's casual, yet chic and sophisticated. She's someone who creates her own unique look and likes to stand out from the pack.
