What mommy should wear to baby shower?

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:37:03 +0000

My friend is having a baby in 5 weeks and is getting ready for a shower. She is having it at her house and wants to know what to wear. She wants to know if she has to wear a dress or just a cute top and pants. Her husband found a dress online that he would like to get for her but it is black. Is it okay to wear a black dress? Thanks for your help

Im having a baby boy, and i want to have some good outfits for him. I found a site that had baby LRG, but otherwise i cant find any brands for the baby. lots of stuff that says little surfer, or skater in training.
but we’re looking more for something along the lines of Volcom, Billabong, Vans, stuff like that. Havn’t been able to find too much of it, but would love any help! thanks

Are baby gates really necessary?

admin — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:36:13 +0000

Our daughter is 12 1/2 months old and we NEVER put a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs, but did have one at the top of the stairs. She has, for the last month, been climbing up the stairs without us even watching her. Since she is so good at it, I don’t even fret about it. I would like to encourage her more often to go down the stairs on her stomach, but she seems disinterested in going down, though she will if we require her to. Still, I think not having a baby gate at the bottom rapidly increased her skill level, strength, and safety using the stairs and I think we are better off because we never had one. All of our neighbor’s with similar aged babies have them, and wonder why we don’t.
To clear up any confusion, my daughter has never had one at the bottom of the stairs, ever. She is 12.5 months old and why have a baby gate when you can just close your child’s door isntead? Much like my neighbor’s backyard fence they installed to trap their daughter, I think it’s easier and more useful to "teach them" as opposed to restricting them. We were the same with her walking, she was doing it at 10.5 months and now walks quickly and well without assistance.

She climbs up the stairs barefoot. My goal is for her to learn how to safely get down the stairs and I will supervise and work with her until she is confident in her abilities. We often times let her climb up the stairs unsupervised. My wife did not like at first, but she now agrees that my daughter can climb without our staring her down. Over protective neighbor’s and friends still think it’s crazy, but I think they are just lazy parents/teachers.
It’s not about convenience Brooke, it’s about teaching them and their practicing. No way do I agree that it’s more convenient NOT to have gates than to have them. That’s just ridiculous. Lazy parents have gates, engaging parents teach.
OK, I think the most frustrating part of the comments is people commenting that my daughter "can’t possibly" be able to do this on her own. Yet again this morning she did without fail. For the record, we do have carpet on our stairs so perhaps that is why I am comfortable with it. At 8 months, she held herself on a pull up bar during baby gym class, and at one year we saw her lift a bocci ball all on her own and those things are heavy. So, perhaps your problem is lack of practice, don’t fear your children, let them build their muscles instead.

Should a baby shower be themed toward the mom or the baby?

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 00:01:58 +0000

My sister-in-law is having a baby boy and I had a really cute theme picked out, but it was centered around mommy. I found some cute boy themes, but I really liked my original one. I could possibly mix the two together some, but I wondered what people thought about this? I know both of my showers were themed for the gender of the baby.

What would be a good decor scheme for a bedroom shared by 3 year old girl and baby boy?

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:09:42 +0000

We’re having a baby boy and for the time being (until we get a bigger place) my 3 year old daughter and he will share a room. My daughter already has everything decked out in pink and full of princess accessories. I haven’t bought my crib set or anything like that for my boy yet. How could I have them share a room and have it all tie in together so it doesn’t look like one side is for a boy and one for a girl? I’m also looking for relativley affordable options, since they will probably only share for one year at the most. And my paint options are limited. I would have to go with something nuetral so I can easily paint it back to white before we move again, or maybe put up a border to dress up the walls.

What are my chances of having a baby girl?

admin — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:09:08 +0000

This may seem like a weird question but my husband has so much testosterone, it’s almost too much. Will this affect my chances of having a baby girl? Or am I just being silly?
