Baby Quotes and Dad QuotesSo by now you’re thinking that baby quotes must refer to funny things babies say. Well obviously dad quotes mean that – because dads are funny – at least we think we are. It’s been said that everything worth saying has been said already, I’m not sure whether I believe that or not, but I do know that things have been said by those much smarter than I am and that means there is something that I can learn. So if I can learn from others than you certainly can to, otherwise why would you be at my site? Some of these are funny, some profound, and some just plain interesting to ponder. One quick disclaimer: baby quotes may be a bit misleading as some of these are newborn quotes, while others are children quotes. Regardless, I'm sure you'll find something you can relate to. So sit back and enjoy these baby quotes and dad quotes. Baby Quotes
