Baby Will: 5 months.

April 8, 2019 by Lindsay 1 Comment

Reeeeallly rounding third toward having this little friend for a half a year, something that I'm not comfortable with at all.

This wonderful little friend is five months, and with every month of course I can't believe it. I've been thinking a lot about his birth lately and those first few holy days at home when he was so new and squishy, and it's almost like I can't remember that those moments were with him, he's just so different. I know him so much better now, and his little personality is the most wonderful thing to watch explode.

2019 Baby Gear Favorites (so far!)

I. Love. Baby. Gear.

Here's why: There's a LOT to not know about parenting, so finding something that can make the all-the-time tasks a bit easier, cuter, or tidier gives a great sense of "I've got this" to something that we mostly do not got. It's ok, though! Babies are very forgiving, and gear is here to help.

Baby Will: 4 months.

It is such a great privilege to watch a tiny human grow.

....until it is 4am, at which point it is the WORST THING EVER AND WHY DID I HAVE KIDS.

I imagine this sort of shift in perception is what it must like to be a baby - everything's great, boob, warm, lights, and then tired or huger strikes and WORST THING EVER. So in that, I feel like Will and I understand each other a whole lot.

Baby Sleep at Three Months

February 21, 2019 by Lindsay Leave a Comment

....almost four months, but that will include a regression and it'll be terrible and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

The topic of sleep is always so fraught with...everything...I guess, when it comes to babies. Babies don't sleep like adults do, but they somehow sleep a lot. Babies don't know how to sleep on their own, but it's dangerous for them to sleep with you (according to some). Lack of sleep is used as a literal form of torture, so the parents dealing with this generally don't deal all that well.

Baby Will: 3 Months.

The good news here is that this is the time when babies start to look a little more commercial-ready, a little less "I'm sorry your baby was born deformed." ~actual comment some troll left on my Insta about Will.~

To be clear, Will is not deformed, nor did the image I shared look like he was, people are monsters.
