Babies
Our family in the West write that
their nine month old baby hasn't
taken her first step, yet, and worse
still, hasn't so much as a sign of a
tooth. "Is there something wrong with
her?" they ask with alarm. •
From the pictures they send I can
see she has all he parts, that her eyes
are bright and shiny, that she's chub-
by and pink and looks the picture of
contentment and health. "No," I
answer, "I don't think there's
anything wrong with her," and I
assure them that not cutting teeth at
three months nor not walking at eight
months has anything to do with her in-
telligence, but probably does have a
lot to do with her geneology.
Her father, and none of our other
babies, had a tooth in their head un-
til they were well over a year, and the
last one didn't walk until heves 18
months. Being the youngest he had so
many others who were willing to run
and fetch for him that he didn't see
the need.
Eventually, he did begin to
maneuver around like a giant snail by
pushing one foot out in front of him
and pulling his seat along behind. It
was quite a sight to see him humping
down the sidewalk this way (not to
mention how hard it was on his
clothes), but no matter how we tried
to encourage him to stand on his feet
and walk, he would have none of it. It
became an embarrassment to our
relatives, and my mother threatened
not to take him to her annual family
reunion unless he was on his feet. •
are bits of God's stardust
Well, be wasn't, and be spent the
whole afternoon bumming around on
the grass, chewing up sticks, in his
perfectly happy and good natured
way. Then, one day, when he was 18
months old, he decided to make a
positive she was gang to starve to
death. She did love ber bath, however,
gurgling and splashing in the water,
and one day when she Was lying com-
pletely relaxed on the little rubber
hammock in the bath tub, I began
change, as he simply got to his feet spooning some spinach into her
and started to walk as if he'd been do- month, and to my surprise she lapped
ing it since the day he was born. it all up. Next, I tried some sieved
It Seems to me...
When you're a first time parent, the
days the baba rolls over on his
stomach, crawls, teeths, and walks
are, of course, very important, but not
nearly as earth shaking as you sup-
pose. The more children you have, the
more relaxed you tend to be about
these things, knowing that no amount
of impatience on your part is going to
hurry- them along. So, when our
youngest took such a time to get off
his seat, it didn't worry me nearly as
much as if he had been our first.
Our first little girl, however, was a
very fussy eater, either holding her
mouth firmly shut, or spraying the
food all over my glasses and face
whenever I tried to feed her, I was
by Gwyn Whilsmith
meat and then some pears until she
had eaten the best meal of her whole
life.
Hence, every day, thereafter, when
meal lime Caine around, I placed her
in the bath, making sure, of course,
that no rine was around to see this
strange phenomenon. Soon, she grew
round and chubby, but naturally
came to believe she should only eat
when she was half covered with warm
water. As a young mother I felt this
wasn't quite right, and I began to
wonder if she would ever eat at a
table like a normal person. Finally,
I confessed this fear to a older friend,
who laughed heartily and said, "Oh,
Gwyn, I'm sure by the time she's 21,
she's still not going to be eating her
dinner in the bathtub!" And she was
right! In fact, we didn't have to wait
that long; by the time the baby had
reached seven months she was sitting
in her highchair and gobbling up her
food without any fuss whatsoever.
Anyway, no matter if you have on-
ly one, or 18 babies, each one is so

Irregular paycheques of unpredic-
table amounts present a challenge to
farmers and other business owners.
However, no matter what day the
hogs go to market orthat the price
will be, each business ner needs to
provide for groceries and some basic
necessities for his/her family each
week.
j;ach month, transfer a regular
established amount from your farm
business account to a separate ac-
count for family expenses. Family liv-
ing expenses are paid with after tax
dollars. They include food, clothing,
recreation, household supplies, gifts
and all other personal items.
Consult with your family to
establish what your average monthly
living costs are. Remember to include
repairs and upkeep, vacation and sav-
ings in that monthly total. Then you
won't be tempted to tap the farm
business account for that new
microwave oven or a trip to Florida.
Save for those items from you fami-
ly living account. Family living ex-
penses may seem a small proportion
