What a year it has been! Everyone says it goes by fast and it does, but at the same time it also felt slow at times which I truly have tried to appreciate. I can’t believe my baby is one and now considered a toddler! He will always be my baby boy though. I wanted […]
I’m running behind, again so I figured I just put these two posts together instead of trying to produce a rushed one for ten months. We’ve had a busy little bit, but our biggest change or milestone has been James’ move to his “own” room – which is a shared room with Maggie. I waited […]
Check out my previous holiday gift guide for Santa Sacks for 1 Year Olds here. Links updated! This year I have to shop for TWO kids – it’s the first time and I’m feeling the pressure! But to be honest, our kids are super lucky they get tons of new toys throughout the year thanks […]
Have you seen the trend on Reels/TikTok where it’s like that Italian music overlaid over “things that just make sense” for certain situations? I’ve been thinking about that a lot as James hit this 9 month milestone – because he is SO busy and he does so many things that are simultaneously hilarious, sometimes dangerous […]
I recently talked a bit about play mats in my 0-6 month toy round up post – mentioning how we have used a small play mat (slowly graduating to the larger ALZip Eco Color Folder mat by Wunderkids) since James was a newborn. Let’s explore any evidence behind play mat use, what you can use […]
I have been sharing a few items we use each month in some of my James Monthly updates, but I thought it would be convenient to compile some of our favourite toys and playroom (that we don’t have) items into one post for easy browsing and shopping. Please note that I do use Amazon associate […]
This last month has been a busy time for James! If you saw our 7 month update, you’ll know that James started crawling last month – at the end of this past one, he started reciprocal crawling which is crawling on hands and knees (vs. the army crawling he was doing before). So now he […]
He can roll.. he can sit… and now he can crawl! That’s right. This past month, James has been able to push up to sit independently and he started crawling! This little guy is on the move and he’s growing TOO fast, my mama heart is NOT ok. 7 Month Milestones & Abilities Lets take […]
I recently reviewed the Quark Fruuti silicone feeder here, and now that we’re fully into our solids journey (which I will update about in our 7 month post) I thought I’d review Quark’s other great product – the Quook which is a baby food processor. Debating between purées or Baby Led Weaning (BLW)? Check out […]
Are you expecting or recently had a baby? Then you might have heard that your baby will need a hearing test when they are born. If you deliver in a hospital setting (and perhaps in some birth centers), this will be offered during your stay. If you give birth at a hospital and are discharged […]
