Shoes for My Daughter Part I

Since my daughter’s birth, a little over a year ago, I have been buying her shoes.  I never really worried about shoes for my son when he was an infant, but for some reason I felt that my daughter ought to have shoes to go with her cute little outfits, especially her dresses. The first I dress I bought for my daughter after she was born was her Christmas dress.  I bought it only a couple days before Christmas in utter desperation because that outfit that I had bought for this very special occasion was too big.   As luck would … Continue reading →

My Baby’s Obsession

My baby has an obsession. Animals. I noticed it a couple of months ago when I watched as he would follow the cat around the room smiling the whole time. But, then it became even more interesting as I saw him practically lunge for a dog at the park trying to get to him. If you point out a picture of an animal, he smiles instantly and almost laughs. He loves them. But, if you live in my house, where we have a very finicky cat that loves you one minute and is trying to bite you the next, then … Continue reading →

Here is what to expect if your baby is diagnosed with jaundice. Pricks and blood tests Depending … Continue reading →

My Obsession with Baby Feet

Let’s face it, babies are cute even when they fill up their diapers. We all know that. But when it comes to baby feet, I am completely obsessed. I just love little baby feet. They are cute, compact and unlike adult feet, adorable. I love the little toes and the little flat arches that kick out in excitement. And yes, I even love the smell. People often talk about that great baby smell that you get when taking a whiff of a freshly washed warm little baby head, but I prefer the little feet. For one thing, there are two … Continue reading →

A Busy Guy

My son is a busy guy. His day begins when ever he wakes up (like most kids) usually around eight in the morning. Sometimes he will climb into our bed with some toys and play which always involves playing with his baby sister. Rousing us (the parents) at eight in the morning is sometimes difficult given how late we end up going to bed, but he does a fairly good job by climbing on us and typically putting his feet, knees, elbows, or hands in our faces. Now that he is potty trained, he will need to use the potty … Continue reading →

All I Want for Christmas is a Toy That Burps

My anti-girly girl daughter doesn’t take after her mother when it comes to Christmas wishes. Whereas I begged Santa for a baby doll that I could swaddle, cuddle and dress in lacy ensembles when I was a little girl, my tomboy has her sights set firmly on a battery-powered behemoth with movable brows, hairy feet and a panache for burping. Apparently, Big Foot has made a break from the woods of the Pacific Northwest because he’s sitting in toy stores from coast-to-coast. Fisher-Price’s Imaginext Bigfoot the Monster may be on my daughter’s big Christmas present wish list, only like Kota … Continue reading →
