follow up: crib to toddler bed

September 18, 2011 in baby stuff

Time flies! It’s been almost two weeks since we converted our daughter’s crib to a toddler bed which I wrote about here and now I’m giving you an update on how she did. Our baby girl did so well! She was helping Daddy put her “new big girl bed” together which was fun for her to see how the bed was being changed. When the toddler bed was finished, the first thing she did was climb on it all by herself and she was SO PROUD. She was so excited that she was able to climb up and, even more [...]

chicago banning crib bumpers?!

September 12, 2011 in baby stuff

For the first time in the United States, crib bumper pads are being banned in Chicago, IL. I read this last week on nbchicago.com and am surprised Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s City Council can pass such an ordinance. My beloved city (I once lived there for 9 nine years) has banned those cute bumper pads that go around the crib citing they are dangerous and suffocates infants. Sure I’ve heard of the bumpers being a risk to child safety but actually banning it? Isn’t it the right of the parent to choose whether to use these bumper pads or not? When [...]

What do I use? I use Pampers. Why? These diapers are super thin Save space on storage and not bulky on baby The elastic around the legs are very comfortable and flexible Absorbs [...]

growing up fast: converting crib to toddler bed

September 5, 2011 in baby stuff

Our little baby girl is not so little anymore and she’s almost 2.5 years old so we think it’s time to convert her crib into a toddler bed. I don’t know what the right time is but I’ve heard of holding off as long as you can! Our daughter has not climbed out of her crib yet but she’s made an attempt one time and we don’t want to take any chances. Although we think she can handle the responsibility of being “free” in her room, we’ll have to see how she does once we convert it. We do not [...]

do you know where your kids are?

September 3, 2011 in baby stuff

Yes! They are in the SuperYard! You have heard of a playpen or play yard, right? Those are usually for younger babies under 1 to play in. Once your baby grows into the toddler stage you will need something bigger. In order to keep my two little girls playing in a safe environment, I use the North States Superyard Classic XT Gate. I love knowing where they are when I get busy in the kitchen or need to grab something in another room. The SuperYard is big enough for them to walk around in and have their favorite toys in [...]
