Kushies… I love you!

September 20, 2009

So after realizing that Portia needs a bit more time to grow into her Woombie, I started my search in earnest, again, for larger receiving blankets. Well, after checking every package of receiving blankets that I see every place I have gone for the last month or so, I finally found ones that are larger [...]

Houdini Baby Proof Swaddler

September 3, 2009

Well, our little bundle of joy, as she has been getting older has become more and more adept at unswaddling herself from her regular receiving blanket swaddle.

This morning Portia had her immunization at Fraser Valley Health. She did really well even as the needles went in, and then just started to sob uncontrollably. Poor poor little girl.

We have just returned from Chicago for a family wedding, and I have to confess, I was really concerned about how Portia would cope with the flight, particularly the pressure changes. She is a really good baby, however, she is still very little and placing a baby in that environment for a long time must [...]

July 31, 2009

Last night we were due to fly to Chicago out of Vancouver on a red-eye leaving at 11:30. Of course, fate and a new baby conspired against us, and we arrived after the flight had closed. Fortunately we ran into a super helpful United employee, and he arranged for us to be on the next [...]

Record Temperature in Vancouver Today

July 28, 2009

Today was hot! Several areas in the lower mainland have set new record temperatures according to the Candian Weather Office. Portia does not do hot, I have come to realize, which makes me wonder how babies from other climates where it is routinely hot, and there is little air-conditioning do? We have just moved from [...]
