Mommy Musing Monday – Chew on This Part 1

Posted on Posted in 2013, Baby, Musing Monday, Parenting, Products .

Since there was no update last week, I’m going to share a two part post today that has a rather obvious theme.

As some of you may know, our little Missy Moo has been teething hardcore. At nine months old, she already has eight teeth!

Due to this, our daughter constantly chews all the things…. Including her crib.

Yes her crib. Her brand new crib that was hundreds of dollars and is convertible so that it can be a double bed in the future.

Now I’m sure you’re thinking “Big deal. All babies chew. A few bite marks isn’t a big deal.” but feast your eyes on this…

Mommy Musing Monday – Cheese!

Posted on Posted in 2013, Baby, Family, Holidays, Musing Monday, Parenting, Photography, Xmas .

Well, the holidays are upon us. It seems like as soon as Remembrance Day has passed, the next holiday (primarily Christmas where I live) tends to dominate all retail locations, television commercials and soon Christmas songs will flood the radio stations.

Not everyone sends out Christmas cards, but it’s a tradition that I still really enjoy. Since our wedding six years ago, I’ve basically kept a list that’s updated from time-to-time and modified with additions and deletions.

Mommy Musing Monday – More than a long weekend

Posted on Posted in 2013, Baby, Musing Monday, NL, Parenting, St. John's .

This weekend was a long weekend for us because November 11th, fell on a Monday.

Lest we forget. #RemembranceDay

Today in Canada, it’s known as Remembrance Day and is a day we take to honour those that have fought for us and continue to do so.

Mommy Musing Monday – Keep Calm by Carrying on

Posted on Posted in 2013, Baby, Musing Monday, Parenting .

It’s hard to believe that Missy Moo turned eight months old last week. Where have the months gone?! My maternity leave is 3/4 over. How did that happen? In just four months my daughter will be one-year old!

I think we’re starting to get into the separation anxiety stage that babies often enter into around the 10 month+ mark. Little miss has been hitting some milestones early and she’s very socially active, so I’m going to assume that some of her recent behaviour is just a normal phase that we’ll help her through.

Mommy Musing Monday – Baby Brain’s Revenge

Posted on Posted in 2013, Baby, Musing Monday, Parenting .

So here’s a funny fact – I almost forgot to update my blog today.

Ah yes, while pregnant, I had many, many mothers tell me about baby brain. I did honestly experience moments of baby brain during my pregnancy. Maybe it was due to my random sleeping patterns during pregnancy, or maybe my crazy dreaming… who knows. All I know is that I had lots of brainfarts that would happen without any warning.
