Any mother will tell you that you never wake a sleeping baby. For Angela Kinsey, this lesson came a little too late.
One afternoon, while The Office actress was home with her 15-month-old, Isabel Ruby, she decided to give her daughter a wakeup call.
"I was like, 'You know what? She's taking a late afternoon nap, she's not going to fall asleep 'til late, I'm going to pick her up and rock her to see if she'll wake up,' " Angela told People Magazine. "Mistake! My mom was right."
Isabel's tears were hard to quell, but Angela swears by a few must-have mommy items that are helpful during tantrums. Among them are the Boppy, Cheerios and a furry red companion named Elmo.
"She said 'Elmo' this morning for the very first time," the beaming mother reported, "She pointed to the TV and said 'Elmo' and I was like 'You are a genius! You will cure cancer!'"
Wow. Moms really are our biggest fans, aren't they?

Exciting news for Jennifer Hudson! The Grammy and Oscar winner welcomed her first child into the world yesterday. Hudson's rep told People magazine that "The baby is perfect and beautiful... his parents are ecstatic."
David Daniel Otunga, Jr. was born on Monday weighing in at 7lbs, 14oz. The baby boy was named after Hudson's fiancee David Otunga, who was a contestant on VH1's I Love New York.
Hudson, 27, never officially announced her pregnancy and allowed the media and fans to speculate that she was expecting. That didn't stop her celeb friends from sending her well wishes.
Dreamgirls costar Anika Noni Rose thought Hudson would make a phenomenal mother and that David Jr. would be "much loved."
Fellow costar Jamie Foxx told ET Canada "I wonder if he came out singing? Probably."
Congrats, Jennifer!

Elisabeth's chair will be empty on this morning's episode of The View, but we're sure the rest of the ladies will be celebrating the newest addition to their family!
Remember when the woman who was carrying Sarah Jessica Parker's new twins had her house broken into?
Well, two police chiefs from Ohio have been arrested in association with the crime. Martins Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter and Bridgeport Police Chief Chad Dojack were booked and released Wednesday night, the Associated Press reports.
Yeah, and Chief Carpenter was the one who was assigned to protect the woman!
The exact charges were not released, but sources say these cops orchestrated a break-in so they could obtain personal information on the surrogate and sell it to the tabloids. The charges should become public Friday when the men are arraigned.
That makes you feel comfortable, doesn't it?
A big congrats to Molly Ringwald and her hubby, Panio Gianopoulos, who welcomed fraternal twins last week.

Much love!
What a relief for Mira Sorvino who, after a very tough and dangerous pregnancy, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on June 22.
Holden Paul Terry Backus is just perfect -- but his mom's pregnancy was far from it.
After being out on bedrest due to placenta previa, Mira's months of laying still caused even more trouble. "I developed a blood clot (DVT) due to all the inactivity and had to be anti-coagulated for months to prevent a pulmonary embolism," the actress, 41, who's married to Chris Backus, said.
Then, when the day came to have the baby, things still didn't go smoothly.
"During the day we had some scary difficulties with the epidural, as I achieved almost no progress with the labor and then at night the placenta created problems again," she added.
But Mira and her beautiful boy persevered -- and the mom of (now) three is ecstatic.
"As soon as they placed him in my arms I knew it had all been worth it," she continued. "He is my miracle baby. With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed: perfectly healthy, beautiful and wonderful."
Love a happy ending. Congrats!
It's a boy for Brandon!
Jason Priestley and his wife, Naomi Lowde-Priestley, welcomed a baby boy into their family on July 9.

Don't look for a baby bump on Scarlett Johansson anytime soon.
Her hubby, the gorgeous Ryan Reynolds, told British Glamour that the pair intends to adopt a child.
"My oldest brother is adopted and I have every intention of adopting at some time," the star of The Proposal said. "I'm very grateful for having my brother in my life. I couldn't be more pro-adoption. There are plenty of kids in the world that need it."
Totally wonderful --except that shouldn't these two beautiful people do the world a service and make another beautiful human being? Just to keep the beautiful people race alive?
Maybe they'll adopt and have their own. Yes, I would like that.
Tell me this doesn't make you feel old.
Jim Carrey is going to be a grandfather!
That's right, the funnyman's 21-year-old daughter, Jane Carrey, and her fiance, Alex Santana, are expecting her first child.

Is that some kind of family portrait or what?

Nice.
The woman who gave birth to Sarah Jessica Parker's twins earlier this week is being hounded by the paparazzi in her hometown. In order to give the lady more protection, her local police department has been asked to step up.
So, who's leading the team to keep the surrogate safe? Yeah, none other than Police Chief Barry Carpenter -- the same guy that's under investigation for breaking into the woman's home in order to get info to sell to the tabloids.
Talk about irony, huh? She must be feel so comforted.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's surrogate gave birth to the couple's two twin girls -- Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge -- Tuesday afternoon in Ohio. Marion weighed 5 lbs., 11 oz., while Tabitha was 6 lbs.
The actress's publicist said that "the babies are doing beautifully. The entire family is over the moon." Her rep added that Hodge and Elwell are family names on Sarah Jessica's side.
We first learned of the surrogacy back in April, when the couple's rep said that "the entire family is overjoyed." Soon after the news broke, Sarah Jessica expressed concern over the safety of the surrogate, especially after police chiefs allegedly broke into her home.
The new twin girls join Sarah and Matthew's first child, son James Wilkie, who was born in 2002.
Sarah's Sex and the City costar Kim Cattrall shared her congratulations, saying, "I'm thrilled for Sarah, Matthew and James Wilkie. More 'fabulous' girls are joining our SATC family."
Congratulations to Carnie Wilson and husband, Rob Bonfiglio, who welcomed daughter Luciana Bella into the world on Friday.
The little one weighed in at 6lbs., 5oz, and will join older sister, Lola, 4.
A rep for the singer/game show host says that Carnie is "happy as a lark," and all is well. "They're happy, healthy and smiling."
Good things!
Isn't it crazy how less shocking this is the second time around?
Thomas Beatie, the transgender "pregnant man" -- welcomed his second child, a healthy baby boy, Tuesday morning.
According to ABC's 20/20, Thomas' wife, Nancy Beatie, will be breastfeeding the new baby, like she did with their first child, daughter Susan, born last June.
The deal with Thomas is that he legally changed his gender from female to male, but kept his female reproductive organs in hopes to have a child one day. He has said that his pregnancy was a "human desire" and that he felt that he had "the right to have my own biological child."
And now he's had two. Congrats!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Approve or disapprove? Go...
Pass it on!
Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford has a new baby girl! The actress welcomed Helena Grace Rutherford Giersch on Monday night.
The new little mama weighed in at 8 lbs., 12 oz. and joins older brother, Hermes, 2.
"Kelly and the baby are doing just fine," Kelly's rep said in a statement to Access Hollywood.
Kelly is currently in a divorce battle with the baby's daddy, Daniel Giersch, who she split from in December.
At least a new baby is something for both of them to be happy about. Congrats!
Lance Armstrong had better strap that baby seat to the back of his back!
The champion cyclist and his girlfriend Anna Hansen have welcomed a baby boy into the world. Max Armstrong weighed in at 7 lb., 5 oz, and measured 20-inch-long.
Lance took to his Twitter page (natch!) to introduce his new little man to the world, but instead wrote like it was Max himself talking.
"Wassup, world? My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived," the post read. "My Mommy is healthy and so am I!"
This just makes me think about how someone once told me that they hate when people send thank you notes from their babies and pretend that the kid wrote it. I'm fine with it, but if that bothers them, they are going to be super annoyed by this post.
Anyway, Max joins Lance's three other kids from his previous marriage.
Congrats!

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch didn't use some special potion to get that new bod --she worked for it.
Melissa Joan Hart lost 42 lbs after seeing, what she called, a "horrifying" photo of herself in a bathing suit last summer.
"I still read blogs about me discussing how fat I've become," the actress told People in their new issue, available on newsstands Friday.

"There are enormous pressures put on you in Hollywood," Melissa said.
After hitting 155, the mom decided she was going use a good friend as inspiration -- actress Jamie Pressly -- who had some sick abs not too long after having her son, Dezi, 2.
"I realized I didn't have to be heavy just because I have kids," she said.
And Jamie is super proud of her pal. "She finally took the time to take care of herself," The My Name is Earl star said. "I'm blown away by how amazing she looks."
She does look great. For more on how Melissa got so hot, pick up the mag.

So true!
As for motherhood, Rebecca says it's just the best thing going. "Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life," she gushes. "All I want to do is stare into my babies' eyes nonstop."
And what about her post-baby bod? No worries there.
"I'm a jeans size up from where I usually am, but there's nothing about it that freaks me out," she says. "I feel as sexy as I have ever felt. I've always said that sexy is having a really strong sense of yourself and never taking yourself too seriously."
I totally want to be friends with her.
