Walking Without Support

Jan 18. 2012

I am happy to announce that, at 15 months of age, Claire has finally started walking. Let me rephrase that. She has finally started walking without support. Because she has been walking with one hand against the wall or along some furniture, or one hand holding someone's hand, for over a month now. We all knew that she could physically walk by herself, but that she was too afraid to let go. Then, just this past weekend, BAM! It's like she suddenly happened upon a chest full of courage and started walking everywhere by herself. Dim light + fast-walking kid = blurry picture I have been so proud of our firstborn lately. Everyone tells us that she's one of the smartest babies they've ever met, and even...

Cool Tool Tuesdays: Panasonic Electric Thermo Pot

Jan 17. 2012

I have decided to implement some regularity to this blog. I believe that not only will it give readers something to look forward to on a weekly basis, it will also force me to be more creative as well as provide a focus when I am struggling with writer's block. The new schedule will not be too rigid, because anyone with kids — heck, without kids too — knows that life is anything but predictable. So for now, I plan on doing the following: Cool Tool Tuesdays, where I feature a favorite item from my life and spotlight it so that others who are not familiar with the product may also benefit from it. A cool tool can be any book, gadget,...

The reasoning for this is simple, and it is so that you have someone you trust to give you advice and consultations on matters that could otherwise screw you over if you went to the wrong person. When I was younger, my parents also encouraged me to study hard and attend a good college not only so that I can make a good life for myself, but also because they believed that I would have a greater chance at befriending those who would be in powerful positions as working adults. At first, I was appalled...

Why We Don’t Cloth Diaper or Buy Used Clothes

Jan 11. 2012

Let me preface this post by saying that I do not look down on anyone who cloth diapers or purchases used clothes. I do not think that I'm any better than those who choose to, nor do I believe that our way is the best and the ultimate. Once again, this is a personal decision that we have made for our own family based on our unique preferences and circumstances. There was a period in time as I neared the end of my pregnancy with Claire when I seriously considered cloth diapering. It is more green. They say it's more economical in the long-run. I have also read that today's cloth diapers are superior to those in the past, and that they can...
