1St Birthday Party, Small or Big?

I need some opinions since I'm divided between make a big party for my baby's 1st birthday or make just something small and simple. I do want something BIG with tons of friends and puppets and music, food and a HUGE cake ... but my husband wants something small, just close friends and a small cake for her to dig in. Some people say that is not a big deal since she wont remember it but I will and I really think is a big milestone for us as a parents too. I don't know what to do. Suggestions?

3Rd B-day, Indoor Party Ideas

I was pumping an extra 1-3 oz after each morning feeding when I'm not at work, but that decreased today to a tiny trickle of < 1/2oz in 15 minutes. We already switched yesterday to 1/2 breast and 1/2 whole milk for one feeding when he's with the babysitter, but I still can't keep up. I tried...

5 Year Old Lying

I then have to explain it to her and I still don't think she understands. at what age do they start to understand this and what can I say to her to make her understand telling the...
