Normally we have a pretty rigid nap/bedtime schedule. For holidays and busy family days, I let DS sleep whenever he wants. Bed time is normally around 7:30; if we're out and about, we just treat it like a nap. If we're at someone house...

DS is 8.5 months old and has 4 very sharp teeth. For the past month or so he's been testing them out on my nipples and it is driving me crazy. I've been consistently pulling him off and saying "no," but he just doesn't get it...

DS is only 8.5 months, but his weight gain slowed dramatically between 4 and 5 months. He's only gained a pound since August. He was 23lb then and he's 24lb now. Until August, he was gaining about 12oz per week. He's normal and healthy...

DS is 8 months. 99% of the time, he naps in our bed. If we're out shopping, he sleeps in the Ergo without issue. If we happen to be driving at nap time (and he's not hungry), he'll fall asleep in the car. He must be nursed to sleep...

DS was a car seat hater from about 3 weeks to 4 months (he's 8 months now). I think what helped him be okay with it was to gradually increase the length of our trips. I started out with just a quick trip around the block - if we made it...

These chairs. I got 10 of them to use as dining room chairs. We don't have a dining room right now, or even space for a kitchen table (just a breakfast bar), but we will when we move in Feb/March. Now I'm on the hunt for the perfect...

I keep a big rectangle basket (like this one) tucked behind the door. It's low enough to lift your foot and kick the shoe right into it, but big enough to store 5-6 pairs of shoes comfortably.

I love them. We have something sticky in almost every room of our house, though our aren't photos, just simple shapes. These on our breakfast bar A tree, blocked by junk, in DS's old room Birds in our room
