Default [Beginner] Moving only pawns in the opening

Hi,

I'm a bit of a beginner, and I keep getting beaten by opponents who move
only their pawns for about the first six moves. I wonder if anyone can
advise me.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to replay any of these games, but the one I
just played on Yahoo went something like the following (I'm white, he's
black):

1. e4 e6
2. d4 c6
3. Nc3 d5
4. e5 h6
5. Nf3 a6
6. Bd3 b5

After that, I got hammered. Am I wrong to just develop my pieces in this
situation? It seems that his pawn-only opening is so strong, and yet it
goes against all the advice I've read about opening in chess: develop your
pieces.

Thanks,
Mike
