That Perfect Shot

It was a cool, windy day in May when I was taking pictures of C-note running around outside. He dosn't like the wind too much, but I think he enjoyed being outside because Daddy was home maintaining his tractor before putting it away, and he loves to watch. So while he was running up and down the hill, gasping and growling in the face of the wind, he ran up to me and that perfect opportunity arrived. I snapped quickly. He tore back down the hill. I smiled excitedly to myself, thinking I had The Perfect Shot.

Three Months!

This is a C-note cuddle. Taking pictures of the two of them is fun, although I don't always come away with a lot of great shots. This one is cute, though. C-note loves his "liddle brudder." He always asks "Can I see Baby A-team?" whenever I bring him out from taking a nap. Then he puts his face really close to A-team's, gives him a squinty smile and says "hi!" in a squeaky voice.

A-team has been giggling for a little while now, and lately he's taken to screeching, whether he's happy or not. He also likes to attack his fists and sometimes my face with his mouth. He's getting more strength in his grasp. Sometimes it hurts!

Sunscreen

Each year, Environmental Working Group conducts research on sunscreen so you have the latest information to help protect your family before you head out for fun summer activities.

After analyzing 500 sunscreens, including major brands like Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat and Neutrogena, EWG was only able to recommend 39 of them in this year's sunscreen report -- a mere eight percent. That means a whopping 461 of them either don't provide adequate protection or contain potentially hazardous ingredients, or both.

More than a million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed every year in the United States alone. Families may think they're doing the right thing by lathering themselves with brand sunscreen, but in many cases the sunscreens they use don't work as well as they should to protect against the sun's damaging UV rays.

Take a look at EWG's 2010 Sunscreen Guide for the latest information. Find the best sunscreen for your family, check to see how your current sunscreen rates, and you can even make a donation online to support EWG's important research.
