Parents are brilliant inventors. And they deserve a boatload of credit, because some of the most incredible creations come out of total sleep deprivation, and a motivation to make it all better. Months ago, the Lolaloo would have been a lifesaver in our home. It would have made eating breakfast, sending an e-mail, taking a shower, and brushing my teeth possible (the latter two being absolutely important).The Lolaloo is a little device that attaches to...

Bruno and I are now officially the parents of a 13-month-old. We made it through Ayla's first year, and on her birthday we searched for the perfect present, a doll that she now hugs and totes around the house. It's heartmelting. Deciding what to get our dear darling for her first birthday brought to mind the toys we carefully chose during her first year of life. Surprisingly, finding the right toys for your tiny one...

Recently, we were sent a Puj (pronounced: pudge) infant bath tub and asked to give it a whirl. After a month of bathing babies in this flat-to-foldy tub, we give it an ecstatic "two thumbs up" endorsement. It's really an amazing little tub.We have a very small bathroom, so small, in fact, that it is difficult to fit two people in there at a time without some serious acrobatics (even if that second perseon is...

This afternoon Ayla's grandparents took her to visit the Macy's 8th floor auditorium holiday display, A Day in the Life of an Elf. Seeing all the elves at work got me thinking about all of the work I have to do to get this baby ready for the holidays (or rather, get the holidays ready for this baby). Finding a stocking to be filled on Christmas morning is one item on my list. Fortunately, there...

Last Sunday evening, Ayla took her first five unassisted steps. It was embarrassingly exciting, and a room full of adults was in one moment silent, and in the next, applauding, clapping, and high-fiving. Now, all Ayla wants to do is stand up on her own and waddle around. This is wonderfully exciting, and backbreakingly painful. So, with the holidays aound the corner, I decided to invest in a sturdy and fun walker.After much research, I...

For all that our daughter, Ayla, has not been a dream sleeper (hence the not posting for 6 months), she is a champion eater. As she has moved to soilds over the last few months, life has certainly become more interesting. While Bruno is a more "oraganized/methodical/careful" feeder, I tend to plop the food down on the tray and let her have at it. This has led to some pretty big messes around the house,...

Our little lady has recently entered the sitting up phase. We discovered this by watching her repeatedly try to do sit-ups while laying on her back. She wants to be upright so much that she heaves her heavy little head off the ground in an effort to pull herself up. While this is entertaining to watch, it's also a bit frustrating for her. So, we've started to prop her up in a sitting position using...
