A Bit About Baby Proofing

So, Ted is mobile. He finally worked out the shuffle-crawl thing and now moves around at roughly the speed of sound. This has been my first week of being alone with an independently mobile pookie, and to be honest it's kicking my butt. Teddy now wants to go EVERYWHERE and touch EVERYTHING and by touch I mean poke, shake, lick and chew. What I'm getting at is that it is now officially time to baby...

How to Interpret Your Baby's Speech...Or Not?

Maybe you've seen Priscilla Dunstan on Oprah claiming she can interpret baby-speak. It looked as if she could really do it. A baby cried and babbled and Ms. Dunstan seemed to be able to interpret what the baby was needing or wanting. Grumblings from nay-sayers say Ms. Dunstan is a fraud, however, looking to take advantage of parents who are approaching the ends of their ropes. Weither she is a fraud or not, it wouldn't...

Bookish Baby Shower Idea

Baby showers are wonderful. They offer a chance to celebrate your wee little wonder with the people you care about most. With our first baby about to make her debut, we've been fortunate to have several baby showers. One of the most lovely and original ones was thrown by my class of third- and fourth-grade students. The theme of the shower was "books", and all of the children were asked to share their favorite baby...

Party with Pookie, Babyproof Your NYE Bash

How to Make a Wishing Bank

I like giving monogrammed piggy banks to newborns, complete with a little ching to prime the savings pump, as it were. But lately I’ve been thinking about the emphasis on money in our turbulent economy. It’s great that a child learns about money from a young age, but they also have the rest of their lives to worry about it too. So, in the interest of fostering imagination, magic and possibilities, which really should rule...

A Baby Helmet, Really

Babies who are just learning to get around fall over. A lot. Sometimes they fall on their padded diaper bottoms, sometimes (less amusingly) on their faces and sometimes on their heads. That dull thud of Pookie head hitting hard surface is really pretty awful. But it's generally harmless, and can normally fixed with a kissie. So I'm not sure how I feel about these,they're baby helmets, by a company called Thudgaurd, they cost $38.99 plus...

10 Mistakes You're Way Too Clever To Make

I've never had so much unsolicited advice as I got in the first month or so of new-parenthood. Everybody from (child-free) friends to our building super and random strangers seemed to feel compelled to offer words of wisdom. So, when I read the title of this article I was a little twitchy... '10 Mistakes New Parents Make' OK, twitchy doesn't even begin to cover it. If I wanted a list of my 'mistakes' I'd talk...

Tracey Clark, mother and photographer, shares her simple tips for successful photos of baby's first Christmas--whether baby is up for it or not! Take pics early! If you're expecting holiday guests, don't let them dilly-dally with those group shots. As the day progresses, you risk over-stimulation which might lead to some less than perfect images. Embrace reality. Baby sleeping? No worries; take the pic anyway. It's reality! Baby's sleep. They also get messy, teary and angry....

How to Make a Baby Clothes Bouquet

A perfect accompaniment to the diaper cake is the baby clothes bouquet, which is equally delightful and useful! Each bouquet is made of 'roses' that are actually rolled and wrapped shirts, onesies, baby pants, hats, bibs, socks, burp cloths and mitts. Other things you'll need to construct a baby clothes bouquet include tissue paper, florist's wire and tape and some silk flowers and greenery. To see the entire tutorial, including how to work with various...
