In this edition of the “must have” series, we’re sharing the top 10 most used items for our 3-to-6-month-old baby. Time sure does fly and wow baby’s grow and change quickly. Hopefully this list will be useful to a few of you out there. Enjoy! Portable High Chair Living in a small apartment? Going camping? Constantly on the go? This high chair folds up and can easily be thrown in …
WARNING – This is a birth story. If you don’t want to read about the gritty details of birth, I’d just go ahead and skip this post! Also, this is a very long post -but so was my labor, so it seemed fitting. As the end of my third trimester grew nearer, I began actually looking forward to birth – something I never thought was possible. At the beginning of my …
Shopping for baby can be quite an overwhelming task. Who knew there could be so many options for… well everything? Erica is the researcher in the family and she poured hours into blogs and product reviews searching for the perfect items. I (Dave) decided to return the favor to the baby blog world and offer up our findings. In the first 3 month’s of little Coen’s life, a few items …
Coen Robert Baker. Born at 2:59 am on December 23, 2016. We are absolutely in love. I plan to write a more in depth birth story at a later date, but I can’t believe that just two days after I posted my last blog post about the third trimester, we were on our way to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around 10 pm on December 21st and went …
I cannot believe that we are nearing the end of pregnancy and preparing to meet our little boy soon. I am 38.5 weeks, so we could literally meet him any day now! I thought this would be a good time to update you on how third trimester went – hopefully I am not updating you in at 41.5 weeks still waiting, but we will take it as it comes! If …
Although we love DC in the fall, there is nothing quite like a drive through the mountains to take in the glory of autumn’s colors. Last weekend we headed out of the city with our good friends James and Sarah to take an afternoon drive through Shenandoah National Park’s Skyline Drive. We packed ourselves some fall snacks and a thermos full of hot apple cider and spent a few hours …
We are having a baby! I thought since I started third trimester this past week, I should really update this blog and let you all know that I am pregnant! The photo above was taken yesterday and I am currently 28 weeks along. I announced it on social media back in June, but for anyone who missed that: we are due on New Years Eve (though we are measuring more …
The Glacier Lagoon – isn’t that just the best name?? It reminds me of the mermaid lagoon in Peter Pan. Anyways, the Glacier Lagoon, or as it is formally known, Jökulsárlón, was very high on our list of places to visit in Iceland. I had seen photos of the glacial lake with floating icebergs on Pinterest and knew I just had to see it will my own eyes. When we …
The Sahara Desert. How could a bunch of sand be so breathtaking? We were not sure what to expect out of our quick trip to the edge of the Sahara, but for some reason we were both pretty adamant that we needed to get there while in Morocco. There are plenty of desert tours leaving from Marrakech, but the ones we found initially took tourists to smaller deserts a few …
When we stepped off of our in-country flight from Istanbul to central Turkey we looked around and almost wondered if we’d stepped into another planet – or at least a science-fiction story. The landscape of Cappadocia (a name we heard pronounced about 25 different ways so don’t ask us how to say it) is breath-taking and incredibly unique. When we were researching the region we continuously saw it described as …
