240/365 The Easiest Baby on the Planet

I often refer to Piper as the easiest baby on the planet. Some of the things that make her an easy baby I love, others I don’t like so much. She puts herself to sleep easily and predictably (thanks to a swaddle wrap and a dummy). I will never get over how awesome this is. [...]

222/365 Teething

I was hoping by some miracle I’d escape the teething monster with Piper. Apparently not. Although she’s pretty happy when she’s awake, sleeping is a whole other thing. She’s chewing on everything she can get her little hands on, including an electrical cord. I know. I’m awesome. I will accept my mother failure award later. [...]

The Murphy’s Law of Vlogging

I had this whole post planned about being the ‘no’ parent as opposed to the ‘yes’ parent. And then I vlogged it. I’ll wait while you check out me ranting on about being justified in being the ‘no’ parent. Are you a yes parent or a no parent? from Zoey Martin on Vimeo. And then, [...]

11/365 Teething Cheeks

When will it end?! I’m guessing never. Never seems like an entirely accurate estimate. Her cheeks have been like that for a few days and she’s been a pretty restless sleeper. And we’ve gone up a notch or two in the tantrum stakes. Despite my fears that I had very nearly scarred her for life [...]

03/365 Sky Gazing from the Sandpit

Burying feet in the sandpit is the perfect remedy for toddler teething. Especially, when lately teething seems to mean waking from bad nightmares halfway through her nap. She doesn’t get out of bed like she normally would after a nap. She stays lying down, hand in mouth, crying her heart out. For, her, there are [...]

Teething – The Final Frontier

It is well established that I’m not buying the whole ‘no such thing as teething‘ line. And I’ve whinged about it a whole lot from molars to sleepless nights to clingyness to high temperatures to lymphatic system problems to sleep regressions to plans gone awry to the challenges of comforting a toddler. I’m not bitter. [...]

Teething, Teething and More Teething

Morning, good. Afternoon, bad. Afternoon very bad. Her cheeks seem quite swollen – so I think the 2 year molars must be moving around. I gave her three bottles today and I stopped counting with the chocolate. And I didn’t even feel guilty. Not even one tiny little bit. Quite possibly because every time I [...]

Best Laid Plans

Four day weekends. A chance to catch up on all those pesky things that seem to slip through the cracks when you have only a two day weekend. Except, I didn’t clean the house, or get any painting done, or do any washing or really do anything vaguely useful. We went to a birthday party [...]

Wistful

Not a good day today. My poor little baby (yes, I reserve the right to refer to her as my baby until her birthday on Saturday) was beside herself for most of the day. Might have been teething, I’m not sure. But generally she was just not herself. And while I was attempting to give [...]
