First thing first, we did not set out to get blue shoes for Baby P’s first baby walking shoes and all his other shoes that came after that. But because baby P had rather large feet for his age and other specific considerations I had which I will elaborate in this post, we somehow ended up with this spread of entirely blue pairs of shoes that you see in the photo. Oh well.
So, about baby shoes, we start by understanding that:
I introduced Little P to his first single shaped Montessori puzzle when he was a few days from 10 months old. The first thing he did with the knob puzzle was…. to use it as a pacifier.
Not cool, baby. Not cool.
SO… newborn photography. With so many expenses before and after baby arrived, not gonna lie but paying for professional newborn photography was the furthest from my mind.
That didn’t however, prevent me from reading about it in my idle, very pregnant moments. I learnt how most of the stunts you see on social media, required much photo-editing. Because a newborn baby has a very weak neck that needs to be supported.
It all sounded quite precarious to attempt on my own. But somewhere in the recommended first 7-10 days for a newborn to be photographed, I mustered up some deeply hidden energy to get out of bed for a spot of DIY newborn photography with little P. Hah!

I might have gone a little overboard with the baby teether shopping once Little P started to want to chew. I blame it on my prior experience with my dog Donna (haha) because I firmly believe in providing plentiful chewing options. Because it is better the dog chew her own chews than chew the furniture.
But you know what? Donna never did chew furniture but the baby did.
Despite his plentiful chews.
When I wasn’t around to supervise. * sigh *
Anyway, for a little baby with only two going onto four teeth at that point, I think 12 sure is a sizeable collection of teethers. Even if I do say so myself.
So if you’re in the market for teethers, here’s a quick rundown of all our teethers for your quick review!
Breastfeeding is a journey, an exhausting one with some spilled milk and quite a bit of tears. It is a journey for mothers whose high needs baby needs to nurse constantly. It is also a journey for mothers w hose babies just can’t or refuse to latch, so that exclusive pumping becomes an unavoidable option.
I didn’t intend to belabour the topic, but my fingers ran away with me over a few sessions writing this. I haven’t finished but I can see this turning out to be a long article that likely will only be of interest to a very, very small group of people. But oh well. Moving on…
I love the intimacy of the experience when the baby latches and then falls sleep, a tiny, warm bundle in your arms. But the tedious pumping part of the journey I abhorred. And so I had always planned to just exclusively latch if I could, and do without the pumping.
But it was not to be.
If you came to this page, you might have been like me. I was browsing around for a long time trying to decide if I wanted to get a Push Walker for Little P. And if I do, when to get one and which one to get. If you are unsure, a Push Walker is also called a Learning Walker or a Walking Wagon.
Not a baby walker that you plonk the infant into, but a self-service piece of equipment that gives babies opportunities to work on pulling themselves up, standing and walking by themselves.
Since pregnancy and giving birth is a once or twice a lifetime thing, I decided my suffering and stretch marks warranted a post. HAHA.
TV dramas seem to stereotype pregnancy morning sickness to vomiting and refusing some food. I didn’t vomit throughout my whole pregnancy but I had the most awful heartburn, also called acid reflux. I had it 24/7. Awful is too simple a word to describe it.
