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!
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."
Wow!
This is one of those things you just thought was never going to happen.
Sarah Michelle Gellar and husband Freddie Prinze Jr. are expecting their first child! A source close to the couple told People.com that the little vampire slayer is due this fall and that Sarah and Fred are "very excited."
The twosome have been married for six years and manage to stay out of the tabloids for the most part -- which is probably why they fell off my radar. But wonderful news! Congrats!

Remember when M.I.A. performed at the Grammys and she was about to pop? Well she did give birth to a baby boy, and now she has given him a name.
What's the name, you ask? Ickett. And we all thought Bronx Mowgli Wentz was an odd baby name!
What do you think of the name Ickett?
Check out all the other strange celebrity baby names.
Update: We can all breathe again. M.I.A. posted on her website that she did not name her baby Ickett. She added, "I will be back with something newsworthy soon, till then go pick on Apple, Satchel and Moon Unit." The only problem is that we still don't know what she actually named her baby.

His female best friend, who became pregnant via artificial insemination (with Clay's DNA), gave birth this morning to a baby boy named Parker Foster Aiken.
Clay's mom said that Clay is "smiling from ear-to-ear."
I'm probably the only one thinking this, but I hope the baby gets Clay's pre-Idol genes; not his post-Idol ones.
P.S. My coworker just cracked me up when she said, "That's like having Michael Jackson's baby." Anyone agree?
Nicole Kidman finally opened up about her baby daughter Sunday. Nicole and hubby Keith Urban surprised radio listeners when they called into an Australian morning show to dish about Sunday Rose.
Nicole told the hosts that Sunday "looks like Keith," while Keith countered back, "Well, she's a bit of a mix."
Other information listeners got from the call:
- Sunday has a little hair with "a bit of a reddish tint."
- They're getting "a solid three hours" of sleep a night.
- The delivery went "very smoothly," in part thanks to the "wonderful nurses at the hospital."
- Nicole and Keith went to Sydney so that Sunday could meet her grandparents. While there, they've asked the paps to give them some room, "so we can walk around our town."
And there you have it - a day in the life of Nicole, Keith and Sunday Rose.
The couple, who also have a son Aidan, wed in July 2005. Of the name Caleb, Bo had said at the Idol finale show that it's a good biblical name. "We stuck with that with both kids – good Irish and good biblical names... We're just blessed to have such a beautiful family."

Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon have made their world debut!
Of the Brady Brunch brood, Angeline Jolie told People that "It is chaos, but we are managing it and having a wonderful time," while Brad Pitt said, "[It's] still a cuckoo's nest." Pretty sure that's why people have momtourages.
And, if the photo above isn't enough, People magazine's latest issue will feature 19 pages of the twins.
Does anyone want to look at that many pictures of babies in their own family, let alone someone else's?
Someone needs to tell the Mayor of Nice to calm down.
Mayor Christian Estrosi was so freakin' over the moon that Angelina Jolie decide to have her latest children in the French city that that the dude was flashing the kids' birth certificates all over town.
"On behalf of the inhabitants of Nice, I congratulate the happy parents, the most famous couple in the world, who have chosen our city for this happy event," the giddy mayor announced, as he held up Knox and Vivienne's official documents. "We are truly honored and thankful to have them here. I would also like to congratulate the four brothers and sisters of the newborns who are true 'Niçois' citizens," he added.
Yes, we are all happy (well, most of us are) for Angelina and Brad Pitt, that the babies are here and healthy, but let's not lose our minds. I feel like even Brad, who is thrilled with his two newest kiddies, would be like "Dude, they're just babies, people have them every day. Let's not lose our minds here."
Check out the full story here:
Brad Pitt is just a big softie, as the proud papa radiated with joy during the birth of his brand new twins.
In a press conference on the steps of the Lenval Hospital, Angelina Jolie's doctor said that Brad was the epitome of the perfect partner during his children's birth -- and even cut the umbilical cords.
"He was my assistant!" Dr. Sussman said. "He was perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional."
Brad was a team player through the whole experience, as he and Angelina took every step together.
"They were talking, they were together," the doc said, when he delivered the couple's new son and daughter. "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy."
Angie will stay in the hospital for a few more days recovering, but all seems to be well for the newest set of Brangeloonies, Knox and Vivienne.
"Saturday was a great day for all," Dr. Sussman told UsMagazine.com. "The babies are good, as is Angelina."
I think I might want Brad in the delivery room when I have my next C-section. Think he'd do it?
Brangelina babies No. 5 & 6 are here, for real this time, as Angelina Jolie has given birth to her twins!
More details? Angie and Brad Pitt have a brand new son and daughter, as the actress welcomed a boy and a girl at the Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, on Saturday.
"The babies are doing well. The operation went just perfectly," Dr. Michael Sussmann, a member of Angie's momtourage, told People.com Sunday. "Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well."
Both kiddies were a healthy size, as Brangie's baby boy, Knox Leon, weighed in at 5.03 lbs, and their princess, Vivienne Marcheline (for Angie's mom), tipped the scales at 5 lbs. The babies were born by Cesarean section.
The doc told the Associated Press that the C-section was moved forward "for medical reasons" so that the babies could be born "in the best conditions." Angie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.
"The mother and father are very, very happy," the doc said of our Brangelina.
Congrats to the whole brood!
There she is! The newest member of the Spelling-McDermott clan.
Stella Doreen makes her tabloid debut on the cover of the new issue of OK!
Doesn't she look exactly like her dad? It's like his Dean's face on a dressed-up doll! Crazy!
Tori opens up to the mag, revealing that, although Stella wasn't exactly planned, the actress and her hubby couldn't be more thrilled with their "mistake".
"I was on one pill and wasn't feeling well, so I went off of it," Tori said. "Two days later, the doctor put me on another, and on that one day, we conceived. It was meant to be!"
Apparently, she's never heard the term "T.M.I."
Anyway, Tori won't be sacking those maternity dresses away in the attic, as Donna Martin can see giving Liam and Stella another sibling in the future.
"We like making babies," Tori tells the mag. "Gosh, I always said I'd be happy having one of each, and I still maintain that. But I wouldn't mind having three."
What do you think of Stella?
The newest Spears mama is home, as Jamie Lynn and baby Maddie Briann were released from the hospital late Friday night. Taken from Mississippi to their family's home in Kentwood, LA. by a police escort (hey, where was my police escort when my kid was born?), JL and her little bundle of joy were said to be "catching up on their rest."
"They're doing terrific," a source told People.com. "The baby's got 10 fingers and 10 toes ... and a full head of hair. She's long, a tall baby, and she weighs 7 lbs, 11 oz."
Apparently Casey Aldridge's (Maddie's daddy) mom -- and new grandma, Joyce Aldridge -- says that the tot got at least one feature from her pops. She "has Casey's toes," the Nana insisted.
Yessiree, she's got his toes -- let's hope she's gotten that Aldridge keen sense of observation as well.
Melissa wrote in her MySpace blog:
"We are adjusting nicely to being a family of four, although it is a tough job. It's about to get a lot tougher as Mark leaves on tour this week... I'm not sure I can handle 2 babies on my own, unlike my sis who is a super-Mom."
Whaaaat?
How many moms out there have dealt with two kids on their own while the father was away?
Sure, it might not be the easiest thing in the world, but to say that you're not sure you can handle two kids alone? Oy.
Am I just overreacting, or does this bother you too?

Congrats to The Office's Angela Kinsey, who gave birth to a baby girl Saturday afternoon.
Angela, 36, and her husband, TV writer Warren Lieberstein, welcomed their 6 lbs., 14 oz., daughter, Isabel Ruby Lieberstein. Also at the hospital? Angela's mom and her friend and Office castmate, Jenna Fischer. Don't you love when on-screen friends are also great friends off-screen?
Angela's rep told People, "Mom and baby are doing great!"
We're sure this baby will be just as adorable and comedic as her mom!
"[Nahla] is fantastic looking. I cannot imagine a better looking baby than this one."
