When you are born

by Ashley on September 15, 2011

The baby shower Erin’s sister threw is one of the most creative and beautiful I’ve seen. The book which grounds the theme–When I Was Born–is one I love to thumb through when I’m in the children’s section of the bookstore, so this immediately caught my eye.

Art For Baby

by Ashley on September 14, 2011

  Art For Baby is a collection 12 high-contrast images by well-known artists. Hudson loves it and will track the image as the stiff page turns. His eyes get really big when he sees the pages with lots of black–like that with the carrot and one with an enormous plus sign. I’ll always remember it […]

Clear skies ahead?

by Ashley on August 29, 2011

We weathered a hurricane this weekend–a first for all three of us.

In fact, Hudson was so nonplussed by it all that he slept nearly six hours straight–right through the storm! Hooray! (Do […]

Baby book & memory box

by Ashley on May 5, 2011

We tend to document everything (could you have guessed?), but I often miss the feeling of pouring over hand-held photo albums and mementos. Someone gave us this beautiful Petit Collage Baby Book and Memory Box recently, and I can’t wait to start filling it with photos  and details of our baby’s first year. By the way, […]

City Walks with kids

by Ashley on May 3, 2011

Aron’s parents bought us the New York City Walks flashcards by Chronicle, and we used to take them along with us when we were first navigating the city. Now they have sets specifically geared for parents going on walks with their kids in places like New York, Paris, San Francisco and London. Sometimes big cities […]
