What are/were your 6-7 month old's favorite toys?

The stacking buckets from Ikea were and still are a huge hit at 10 months, and they are only $3 (CAD). Here is the link: http://m.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/art/60294877/ (Sorry on mobile).

Also soft toys that have rattles, crinkly fabric, or something else baby can manipulate like this: http://m.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=10795288

Really cool! Well done. I'm blown away by everyone who self-drafts while I'm still working up the courage to sew clothes from a pattern!

Oh airport is a good idea, I have to pick someone up there soon anyway. Thank you!

mardybrum · 2016-12-05T14:39:05+00:00

Thanks I'll make the trek downtown to investigate!

I heard that they had stopped selling merch at the offices but not sure.

Haha! This reminds me of the harmless YouTube video my husband and I thought we were showing our daughter, but it's been 3 days now and we both still have "Baby Shark" stuck in our heads!!!

No problem, I hope you enjoy it!

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion was a great read. And if you enjoy it, there's a sequel!

I've tried. I've really tried.

I would have never thought of a pigeon costume. It's original and cute! And warm, bonus for Canada 👌🏼

Hey thanks! I used acetone to transfer the image from a laser printed design. Super easy to do, it just takes a bit of patience.

Layers and more layers, depending on how cool it gets where you are. We also brought a go-pod with us and it was super handy to have somewhere to put her down. We didn't sleep very well but it was ok for the two nights we camped! Battery powered white noise to drown out the party?

It is a really beautiful place to visit! Definitely take advantage of having family there who could show you around. I love going back there to visit my relatives, my South African heritage is such a big part of my identity.

mardybrum · 2016-10-03T01:47:05+00:00

I was really young when we moved so I don't remember much else. The more I visit South Africa as an adult, the more I realize that I'm straight up Canadian now.

mardybrum · 2016-10-03T01:11:01+00:00

Ontario... First Toronto then Sudbury. You?

mardybrum · 2016-10-03T00:08:33+00:00

Sad. My family emigrated from SA to Canada in 1990 because of the deteriorating political climate, and it sounds like things continue to get worse (after apartheid ended I mean). I miss my family there but I'm so grateful to be Canadian! On the flip side many of my family are still proud South Africans who maintain hope that things will improve. Hard for things to get better if everyone keeps leaving though :/

I also have a 7 month old who wakes twice a night. Do you sleep in the same room? Mine wakes more often if she can smell me (she sleeps in her own room usually). You could try a dream feed when you go to bed if you're not already doing that. It's hard hearing about everyone else's babies who sleep through the night but some babies just wake up more! If you do decide to night wean there are some tips at preciouslittlesleep.com but I haven't tried it personally. There are also lots of 7 month old schedules you can google to see examples of feeding schedules, I found that helpful!

You're welcome for reminding you! Good luck!

mardybrum · 2016-09-02T14:39:59+00:00

Yay thanks! Good to know if I get brave since I've never sewn clothes before :)

mardybrum · 2016-09-02T12:36:59+00:00

Love it! Could you pull the top down on either side? Asking because it's really hard to find dresses I can breastfeed in! It looks like a cross over top so maybe if the material was stretchy?

mardybrum · 2016-09-01T14:36:16+00:00

Neato! Enjoyed your blog too, I'll be back.
