Last week we covered bibs and bandanas for teething babies. This week is all about the teethers to complement the bib and add relief to your child. Henry just cut four teeth. FOUR! At the same time. So we are all in full teething mode. Between James and Henry, we've accumulated many teethers and there … Continue reading Teethers for Babies
Henry will be 6 months in a few short weeks (I can't believe it)! His sleeping has been all over the place; some nights he sleeps 12 hours, other nights he will wake up twice with an average of waking up once around 4:00am. He has rosy red cheeks and lots of drool. These symptoms … Continue reading Bibs and Bandanas

We didn't know which direction to choose (tandem vs. side by side, which brand, removable seats etc) but are very pleased with our decision: the Baby Jogger GT City Mini. There are a … Continue reading Baby Jogger Double Stroller Review
When my family was in town a few weeks ago, we had our standard 'visitor plan.' We would walk around the neighborhood, showing everyone our favorite spots, taking a stroll to the park where James plays most weekdays, and heading out to a nice meal. However, due to the rain, we were stuck indoors with … Continue reading Family Friendly Indoor Activities
