NYCDad.com Posted: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:20:31 +0000  Yash Update #3:Yash, where do you think you’re going? Y-Money took his first, few tentative steps this week. His major motivation is high pitched encouragement from his Dad and Mom. He still engages Super Pursuit Crawl when he needs to traverse more than 5 feet and nobody is watching. Zubin thinks it’s hilarious. Yash Update #2: Standing up without assistance Posted: Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:43:13 +0000  The young’n has been progressing at breakneck pace with his getting around strategy and technique. He crawls like a fast monkey on one knee and one foot. Now the cruising is happening wherever he can get a grip.

The BugaQuinStokke super strollers are heavy enough, but now that we have the Phil and Ted’s doppio: I relish ramps and automatic doors. Well, Oren’s on 3rd Avenue, which I frequent daily, comes to the rescue with [...] Polycarbonate Baby Bottles: Avent venom Posted: Mon, 20 Aug 2007 20:33:53 +0000  Normally, I wouldn’t raise the red flag on alarmist, hypersafe parenting, but in the case of baby bottles I am choosing to do so. On the logic that infants come into contact with them every 90 minutes or so, and suck on them, vigorously at times, it seems like a valid precaution. I [...]
