We finally stumbled upon a schedule at about 7 months, but it takes a lot of work to keep it going and I only spotted it because I'd been graphing on Trixie Tracker for a couple months.

I reread most of NCSS a few weeks ago, and it got me thinking that our before-bed routine was WAY too stimulating. It seemed like the rest of the day was just willy-nilly, but at bedtime I'd try to pack in every fun activity I wanted to...

Our son is addicted to his jumperoo. We have the Fisher Price rainforest jumperoo. He'll spend 15-30 minutes in it 2-3 times a day if I let him. It's big, but all jumperoos/exersaucers seem to be. It's worth the space, in my...

My dad wouldn't let my mom have mine pierced as a baby. When I was three, I saw another little girl with pierced ears and HAD to have them, too. I screamed bloody murder, and I think at that moment my mom wished we'd had it done when I...
