Looking to celebrate Canada’s upcoming birthday, I coordinated a Canada 150 getaway with The Ottawa Tourism board. Kia was happy to jump in and lend us the Kia Sorento SX+, a larger cross-over SUV. Now, before we go any further I’d like to make a note, this may not read like other car reviews you have read before. […]
It’s no secret, we love getting out and seeing all that our city has to offer. With my parental leave officially starting today at 9 AM we bundled up the Wee Baby T, picked up a rental car, and were out for a day of learning and fun! If you missed it, we recorded our first […]
Last weekend K had her first ‘day off’ in 9 months. She met an old friend and they went hiking for the day. AN ENTIRE DAY! Eager to seize my time alone with the Wee Baby T, I had already planned out the schedule – Play time in the morning, the Baby-time show in the afternoon, […]
What if you could take all of the best aspects of each carrier you’ve ever seen and put them into one? The Infantino 4-in-1 was easy to put on but was uncomfortable once the Wee Baby T reached about 14 lbs, the Ergo 360 offered superior support but is a challenge to put on, requires […]
Parent bragging moment: The Wee Baby T is starting to walk! Well… sort of. Clinging to my fingers he hauls himself to his feet and staggers around the living room. It won’t be long before he is running free, but for now his desire to wander around means hours of me bent over offering that […]
K and I have a goal set for our lives – we want to hike on the Appalachian Trail in all 13 states that it crosses. Not the entire thing end to end – that’s just crazy – but pick a state, find a nice hotel for a week, and do day hikes. We were doing […]
I’m sure you’ve all experienced this – it’s around midnight, I’ve just settled in to some good solid sleep and a dream about race cars on the moon or something equally bizarre when the baby monitor on the bedside starts squelching. I’ll wait a beat to see if the Wee Baby T will settle himself […]
Recently I sang praises of the Summer Infant Babel Band. It is compact and light weight, the vibration mode is handy if you are trying to be social and still keep tabs on your baby, and the touch to listen is a nice feature. I still feel the Babel Band is perfect for naps, but […]
The Wee Baby T has grown so quickly. From spitting up to sitting up, chubby rolls to rolling over. Our previously safe home has become the 100 level dungeon from Final Fantasy: Fun to explore, but fraught with danger. Years ago for my ##th birthday (I’m old, ok?) we visited some university friends in Michigan. […]
As we enter February I look back on the last 7 months. The Wee Baby T went from being a mild inconvenience for my wife in later stages of pregnancy to a tiny helpless newborn (as babies typically do), and now he is rolling over, sitting up, attempting to feed himself, and playing violin. Not […]
