Spell it out

by Ashley on September 23, 2011

I’ve always loved those magnetic letters and numbers for the fridge. These ones from Mudpuppy are made from recycled wood! (We took Hudson out to  his first gallery show last night and I ran into Emily, who suggested I check out Mudpuppy–thanks, Emily!) We’re sharing a few photos from our trip on Hither & Thither […]

Two months

by Ashley on September 21, 2011

We were in California on the 17th, the actual two-month-mark, so this is Hudson a day shy. I find it so bittersweet to see him growing so much. When people point out what I already know–he’s not a newborn anymore, he’s a baby!–I find myself thinking: have I drunk in every little expression? Did I […]

Returning to the Highline

by Ashley on September 6, 2011

Thank you for all the well-wishes for my check-up last week. When the time came, I felt good heading to the office and everything was peachy-keen on my end; Hudson, on the other hand, wasn’t so intent on making the trip to the doctor easy. It was my fault for trying to accomplish too much, […]

Postpartum check

by Ashley on August 30, 2011

Today I have my six-week postpartum check-up with my OB. I have been dreading it (please, no more pelvic exams), but it will be nice to see my doctor again and hear that it’s safe to go back in the water. (Come on, do we really have to wait six weeks to go swimming?) Here’s […]

Clear skies ahead?

by Ashley on August 29, 2011

We weathered a hurricane this weekend–a first for all three of us. Fortunately, the storm didn’t cause much damage around us, and we weren’t seriously impacted (save for some anxious anticipation and cabin fever). In fact, Hudson was so nonplussed by it all that he slept nearly six hours straight–right through the storm! Hooray! (Do […]

Cover your ears

by Ashley on August 25, 2011

I have grown more or less accustomed to the sirens, the trucks, the construction… the things that pass you by countless times in a single afternoon in Manhattan. Walking around the city with a baby, however, I am more aware (read: scared) than ever of how loud it can all be. And then we took […]

A guide to poop

by Ashley on August 23, 2011

It’s true what they say about parents of infants: they talk a lot about poop. Much of Hudson’s communication with us is, currently, via his diaper. We found this, ahem, colorful visual guide to baby poop on Baby Center before Hudson was born and it cracked us up. “Who is taking picture’s of their child’s […]

Month One

by Ashley on August 22, 2011

Hudson month one from Aron Bruhn on Vimeo. We decided that Hudson should sit on the couch with his elephant friend for his monthly photos. Thank you to those of you who added some suggestions last week! I swear I’ll narrow it down to just one at some point soon, but I just love all […]

Baby wear

by Ashley on August 19, 2011

I’ve been spending a lot of time wearing Hudson in his Sakura Bloom ring sling. He loves it! Provided he’s not hungry or sporting a heavy diaper, he will grow calm or fall asleep almost the instant I put him in it. I often still push his stroller along with me–having not quite mastered the […]

I’ve asked a few friends and fellow-bloggers to guest post while I am getting acquainted with Hudson–though I know I’ll enjoy sharing updates and photos from time to time. Teryn, one of my dearest friends, is mother to two adorable twin boys (if you read Hither & Thither, you might recognize them from our trip […]
