Little pre-walkers need lots of practice and encouragement. Walk around slowly holding junior’s hands.
If possible, get someone to take a picture from behind with baby and your adult hands supporting him – super cute!

I am the first person to delete the blurry pictures and the closed-eyes pictures from my computer. Despite what my MIL might think, I make a strong effort to edit what I share with the world.
What about the funny, goofy faces? Do those get chucked out too? Well, how sad.
Do yourself a favor [...]

Find a good time between baby’s naps and enjoy a brunch out with your partner or some friends.
You want to find a place with wide enough aisles between tables that you can wheel a stroller or walk with a toddler, no fancy table cloths, and a changing table in the restroom. Ambient [...]

On recent raining days when I’ve been having a very very hard time getting motivated to get out of the house with my sidekick, I have been thinking about how lucky I am to have several baby and toddler-friendly coffee shops to choose from.
For me, what makes a coffee shop friendly for parents is a [...]

My daughter’s first summer wasn’t that awesome, to be honest. She was born on the 4th of July, so I was fat and sweaty all summer. I hardly slept. Postpartum, I had enormous breasts that were probably visible from across the bay in San Francisco. I was terrified of being left alone with [...]

I guess this is just advanced peek-a-boo, but we’re filling afternoons with it in my house! It goes like this:
Either I crawl on the other side of the couch from Milo calling out, “where’s Mommy?” and wait for him to find me, or he toddles away and I call out “where’s Milo?” and whoever’s [...]

AKA “Give your baby a tomato facial”
Go on, what are you afraid of? Let your baby really experience her dinner by getting all up in it.

I’m sending you on a scavenger hunt as your activity for the day.
Take a picture of your baby that captures the essence of the city or town in which she was born. Maybe a famous landmark is in the background, or maybe she’s sitting on the shoulders of a local celebrity.
