Hi Dale,

We had our girls in car seats (one born in 78, other in 80) from the
time they were born. At the time, we splurged and bought the best rated
one on the market (had to get second one for Deborah becuase Rachel was
still in one in 80). Both girls used them until about age 4 or they hit
a certain weight. Now they have booster seats and other car saftey seats
for kids up to preadolescent. Cribs habe undergone several generations
of changes since our girls were born and even high chairs have had some
upgrades. I saw that Rachel used a freeze dried (flaked) baby food with
Robert 10 years ago--just add water--but don't know what the latest is.
I guess I'll have to check it out.

...  It works!  Now, if only I could remember what I did.
