Our little guy has been teething for as long as I can remember, which means a lot of soaked bibs and drool ALL THE TIME! :D So far James has four teeth, with another one on the way, but overall he's been pretty good about it. We haven't had any major issues during the day (although once in awhile he'll refuse to eat), but I've had a few nights where he cried out in pain. I can only … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday to our Baby James!
Happy first birthday to our Baby James, we love you very much!

Cheers to a wonderful birthday and many more parties to come! Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Cakes. Yellow: 1/2 mango tango, 1/2 mint … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Munchkin Weighted Flexi-Straw Cup
It's true what they say... time flies with babies because I can't believe mine's already turning one! How is it that just a few months ago he couldn't lift up his head and now he's standing all on his own? Child development is a marvelous thing and it all happens so quickly- blink, and you've got yourself a teenager! :P One of our latest milestones was introducing James to solids, and … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Munchkin Soft Tip Infant Spoons and White Hot Safety Spoons
Two new teeth in the span of two weeks, that's the latest with James! It's no wonder my baby's been drooling like crazy. Ever since James started teething I've been finding ways to ease his discomfort. Recently I even changed the type of baby spoons we use because the old ones were too rigid and hard on his gums. Now I use the Munchkin Soft Tip Safety Spoons and White Hot Safety Spoons … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Munchkin Squeeze
Just like his mama, Baby James loves to eat! Sweet potatoes, pasta, and cookies are some of his favourite foods :D . Feeding him is fun, but the clean up part is not (surprise, surprise)! Recently, we got to test out a product called Munchkin Squeeze that has simplified our feedings and cut back on the usual mess. This product works like a spoon and bowl in one, and is suitable for Stage … [Read more...]
[Product Review] pediped® Originals: Ross Navy Sandals
Tiny feet in tiny shoes, what's not to love? We waited quite a while for James to wear shoes because socks were just fine for the first few months. But when he reached his next milestones of crawling and standing, shoes became a big deal. We wanted to familiarize him with the concept of footwear, and it became important to us to find him the best shoes in terms of comfort, quality, and … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Enfamil A+ Stage 2
When James was born he weighed 7lbs 13oz, with a head full of hair and delightfully tiny toes. Now at 10 months old, I’m proud to say he has thunder thighs and a baby pot belly, two of my favourite things! Left: Enfamil A+ Stage 1 (0-12 months), Right: Enfamil A+ Stage 2 (6-18 months) Ever since he started eating solids, mealtime has become an adventure all its own but … [Read more...]
Café Boulud: Four Seasons Toronto
And just like that, last weekend I celebrated my very first Mother's Day! In honour of all our lovely moms and grandmas, we went out for dimsum with extended family on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then, to top things off, Joseph and I enjoyed dessert at Café Boulud on Saturday night. Don't worry, Baby James was well taken care of. ;) We haven't had date night in a while because we've … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Keekaroo Peanut Changer
If someone were to ask me what our most treasured baby product is thus far, without hesitation I would have to say the Keekaroo Peanut Changer! Just to show you how obsessed I am with it, I've already given 3 of them away as gifts and just purchased 2 more for upcoming baby showers. It is the most used baby item in our house. Why do I love this change pad so much? For starters, … [Read more...]
[Product Review] Mustela Dermo-Pediatrics: Stelatopia
Baby James suffers from eczema, and while it is a manageable skin condition it also hasn’t been a walk in the park. I’m not surprised he has it since it runs in both sides of our families. On top of that, our harsh Canadian Winters plus dry indoor heating aren't exactly helpful either. Admittedly I was hoping he would beat the odds at birth but hey, pediatric atopic dermatitis (as it’s … [Read more...]
