Let’s talk baby milestones, shall we?

baby rolling over Now that I’m a mom I find myself thinking (& perhaps) wondering about baby milestones. Yesterday I needed a break & I popped in the movie The Proposal, sat Monkey down on the floor with tons of toys, & we played together while I caught glimpses of the movie.

I had him on his back & it’s nothing new that he loves to be on his side, either one. But what was new was that he [click to continue…]

Learning about our baby: How he learns, develops, and what we can do to be better parents

in Baby, Baby Products, Development, fatherhood

baby creativity-childhood-development One thing about fatherhood and parenthood that’s surprised me is how much I’ve become interested in what Monkey is thinking and how his little mind works and learns.
