We recently graduated from an infant carry car seat (pops in and out of the car) to a convertible car seat that will stay with him as he grows. Right now it’s rear facing but we’ll be able to flip it around when he hits the appropriate hight and weight limits. Then we did what […]
Parenthood is the most amazing, life changing, crazy, drink inducing experience there is. With absolutely no instruction manual, no right answer, and no chance you’ll get it right all the time! We’ve been at it for just about six months and have a smiling, laughing, pooping, hilarious little person who captures our heart and stresses […]
I love the fact that as a parent I’ve been able to slowly mold my child into a fan of all of the things I like. Some things are harder to get them on board with then others (still trying to get my son to be a Miami Dolphins fan) but the easiest one has […]
We did it. We left the little one behind. No, not in his car seat sitting on a shopping cart adrift in a sea of parked cars. And no, not home alone wondering where those two people who take such good care of me have gone. No, we bit the bullet, hopped on an airplane, […]
My son is using one right now as I type this during his nap. Which makes today’s release of a study in the Journal of Pediatrics showing sound machines may cause hearing problems for children all the more worrisome and concerning. If you’re like us, and have had a child who’s been sleeping, how do I put this kindly, […]
All parents can relate to this. Just imagine if we all had to put up with the same things we do with kids, with adults. Ok, maybe in some ways we do, but this Maya Rudolph & Chris Parnell lullaby from her recent primetime variety show checks all the right boxes when it comes to […]
There’s something about solids. A milestone, a mess, a memory to capture on camera. There’s just something about starting solids in a baby’s life that hits home and feels like a major accomplishment. Let’s face it, there were times when you weren’t sure whether you’d make it this far. The overnight crying sessions assaulting your […]
Why can parents be so mean…because it’s funny
I’m fairly certain I wouldn’t like walking around all day with someone pinching me as hard as they possibly could. That’s kinda what I imagine teething feels like. At seven months our little guy is starting to sprout a few of his lower teeth. We’ve got two that have fully broken through, with another in a “happening any […]
Defensible space. Most often associated with wildfire prevention, for us it more accurately describes the drastic measures we must now take with the little one while sitting at the dinner table. We’ve reached the high chair stage. Going out to restaurants no longer means banishment to the car seat on the floor, being rocked by the […]
