Baby Zodiac

The skeptic in me doesn't believe in astrology, but sometimes it's fun

to check out my horoscope in magazines. So I thought this article in

Parents magazine on Zodiac Signs For Babies was cute.

Johnny is a Virgo and here is what it says about him.

Virgo: August 23-September 22

Determined, resourceful, and industrious, your baby is anxious to

get a head start in life. Play off his goal-oriented nature with

toys that give him a sense of accomplishment (such as soft blocks,

shape sorters, and pounding boards). Your child is likely to be a

picky eater by nature. Expand his tastes by offering a variety of

healthy foods at mealtime. Virgos don't like disorder; keep his

nursery and play area tidy. Fend off fussiness by changing his

dirty diapers quickly. And be ready with a fresh outfit the minute

he gets a stain on what he's wearing.

I cracked up at the part about being a picky eater, because Johnny is

the poster child for picky. He also mastered his shape sorter toy very

early, and loves blocks and things that let him pound. However, he

could care less about wearing dirty clothes or having a messy bedroom.

In fact, he is the one making the room messy! John did point out that

Johnny doesn't like disorder when it comes to his food. Don't bother

giving him a broken cracker, because he won't eat it.

Maureen is a Sagittarius, and here is her horoscope.

Sagittarius: November 22-December 21

Optimistic, outgoing, and content, little Archers are true

explorers. Put your baby in a carrier or stroller and she'll

happily go wherever you lead. Spend time roaming around the

backyard and checking out the neighborhood: She needs lots of

exercise for her physical and mental health. Your child will bounce

back quickly from little spills and failures. But she also gets

bored easily and constantly needs new toys. To hold her attention,

read lots of stories about exciting adventures in faraway lands--

and promise that she'll get to visit them someday too.

Maureen is one of the most contented babies I have ever met, and she

is very social. She was always happy as an infant when I stuck her in

the Bjorn, but now that she's mobile on her own, she'd rather be down

on the floor exploring. The part about getting bored is funny too,

because she'll play with certain toys for ages, and others she will

toss aside instantly because it's no fun for her.
