Tips for Hiking with Baby

This past Saturday was our big hike...the one I've been nervous about for months. Not only was I worried about the physical strain of the hike, but also how Landon would handle 5 hours in a carrier. He was fussy at points, but overall we had a great time. I can't say that I loved the way my legs were feeling afterwards though. I am still sore today... five days later! This hike was probably the most physically challenging thing I've done in two years and my poor body paid the toll. That being said, I can't wait for our next Adirondacks hike next year!

New Favorite Baby Product-Munchkin Grippy Dots

When Landon transitioned from the baby tub to the "Big Boy tub", it was so scary for him. Every time he tried to reach for a toy, he'd slip on the bottom of the tub (don't worry, Mommy or Daddy were always there to catch him).

So I went to Buy Buy Baby on my lunch break one day to buy a bath mat. All of the mats they had were licensed products, which I'm not a big fan of. Since we share a bathroom with the little guy, I don't really want to wake up to Winnie-the-Pooh or Cars every morning.

But then I saw these Grippy Dots by Munchkin

Another Favorite Baby Product

Today I stayed home with a sick baby, this time with a mild case of bronchitis. My poor little man never wins. With all the coughing he was doing, it was tough to get him to take a nap. Luckily, I found my new favorite baby product on the iTunes store!
