I’ve a sweetheart I love, so dearly—
She’s all that is lovely and fair!—
Her eyes are as blue as the bluebells
Though, as yet, she hasn’t much hair.
Her mouth is like a tiny rose bud,
Just asking for kisses from me;
And her sweet smiles are always ready
To break forth for each one to see.
Oh, my little, innocent sweetheart
Is the fairest flower that I know!
I’m sure that she’s loved by the Angels;
They’ll guard her where’er she may go.
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, “My Sweetheart” (1940s)

Little, clutching hands, so dear,
Grasping everything that’s near,
Reaching for each thing in sight,
Baby hands, so soft and white!…
How you pull at our heart strings
As you dance and as you sing!
Baby, dear, to us you bring
Comfort and eternal Spring!
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, “Baby Hands” (1940s)

Don’t ever tell the mother of a newborn that her baby’s smile is just gas. ~Jill Woodhull

If you were to open up a baby’s head — and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should — you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland. ~Dave Barry
It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money. ~Elinor Goulding Smith

Every baby needs a lap. ~Henry Robin

Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud “snort” noises.) I don’t know why parents don’t do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you’re a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won’t have his friends hanging around your house all the time. ~P.J. O’Rourke

When babies look beyond you and giggle, maybe they’re seeing angels. ~Quoted inThe Angels’ Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994
