211 days & counting

baby boy is 5 months old today! and we're celebrating with a new lens (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8). this is my first shot with it (inside with light from one window) & compared to the stock kens (18-55mm) he is still CUTE!


i've been thinking about the joys (so numerous) and not so joyous (sleep deprivation aside - i just wish i understood what he really needs when he cries sometimes) things of having baby boy. i have also been thinking about the great baby things that we use every day & have made our lives easier (keep in mind we are trying to parent with the utmost of simplicity)...
this is my early list:

  • carriers - for me the hot sling worked for 4 months & now we both use our baby bjorn
  • duck undercover blanket - we use this every day - over the sling & carrier & in the car, on the mat at the community centre (it is beyond me how they went out of business)
  • touque - i love the hunter touque that we got from knittles on etsy (besides it is named after our dog - how could we not love it?)
  • Natursutten Pacifier - we didn't use one for the first several months but sometimes i just like to have all my fingers free!
  • Sophie la Giraffe - she has a lovely story & now that teething is upon us she is being put to the test (just don't take her to any baby meeting places or she will get mixed up with the sophie herd)
  • stonz boots - i love love love these boots - warm & comfy & so easy to put on. i would get more if they made them in my size
