The last few days, Meredith has slept in her own bed. She did once a few days before we left on holidays, but then was in our bed again the next few nights and then we were traveling. But this week she has wanted to go to her own bed every night. She’s woken up each [...]
I have been very much enjoying having a newborn around again. I forgot just how precious a tiny, squishy baby really is. We’re nearing the end of Kris being off of work and I am sad to think we won’t have him around all the time soon. It’s nice just because we like having him around, [...]
We spent this past weekend cooking up a storm. I’m actually impressed with how much we managed to get done. We made chicken and beef broth, chili, steak and mushroom pie, prespiced whole chickens, wontons, yam and bean and beef and bean burritos (with homemade tortilla shells and everything), hamburger soup, shepherd’s pie, lots of meat [...]
I just realized it’s been over a month since I last posted. There are so many ideas and posts floating around in my head and half finished as drafts, it surprises me a bit I haven’t published any of them. We have been busy though. My mom came out for a last minute visit and we [...]
Continuum Family is hosting a giveaway for an organic pouch sling in honour of International Baby Wearing week. Go here to enter. While you’re at it, check out her website and all her other great products. I’m lucky to live so close to her (within walking distance if I got brave ), though I’ve [...]
I can’t remember if I’ve posted this yet, but as of a few months ago Meredith is mostly potty trained. At home, she’s pretty much 100%. We’ve even been leaving her diaperless most nights. While out and about, it seems to depend on a lot of factors about whether she will have accidents or not. If [...]
It has been just about two weeks now, and Meredith still hasn’t had an accident in the house. She will very clearly say “pee” or “poop” and/or go find her potty and independently sit herself down on it. Even if we’re busy, distracted, someone is over, nursing, etc. It’s great! If we’re out and about, she [...]
A while ago, I posted an article about the Natural Age of Weaning by Dr. Katherine Dettwyler. I recently found another article by the same person about childhood sleep patterns that I feel is very well written and worth a read. Meredith still doesn’t “sleep through the night” by most people’s definitions. Though most nights she [...]
I’ve thought several times before that we were nearing the end of needing diapers, but it’s always ended up being a phase and we go back to needing diapers full time. However, it’s never been quite like this before. It’s usually been that she won’t have accidents as long as she’s naked, or she will signal [...]
Sarah posted on her blog last month about a running program she’d started and been having success with. I used to run a lot. A good friend and I used to run 5k every other day, and I won some medals and ribbons in city-wide races. But it’s been over a decade since I’ve really run [...]
