You’re 11 months old…
This month flew by so quickly and was full of milestones. You are on the move! Soon we won’t be able to keep up with you! This month, you started to lift yourself on your walker all by yourself. All you want to do is walk. You learned to change directions, which makes you a…

Parenting Struggle #3: Not Having Enough Eyes
Mom’s guilt has great power over us. You always worry if your kid is alright. You do whatever it takes to keep your kid safe, but you know that you have to step back one day so they learn to make mistakes. Once you loosen a little bit, something happens. Your kid gets hurt. You…

You’re 10 months old…

The Mom Win Wasn’t a Win After All…
Well, that was disappointing. The sleep through the night was just one-off. He woke up a 2 am as usual and didn’t just want his pacifier, he wanted his bottle. The good thing is that on weekends, my husband wakes up to do the night shift and lucky for him, after his bottle, he went…

Mom Struggles: Why don’t you wanna sleep?
Today was quite challenging mentally for me. Of course, being tired doesn’t help. My son decided that he doesn’t want to sleep from 2 am to 4:15 am. And over that, he’s fighting his naps during the day. He has been doing this for the past week or so. Sometimes I wish he could tell…
