We are at a stage with our infant son where every unexplained expression of discontentment is met with the question: “Do you think he’s teething?” Right now, it’s likely that he is. He’s drooly and a little fussy, and whenever I let him feel the “cold” of a canned beverage straight out of the fridge, […]

The first time I ever dropped my son off at daycare, it hit me: I’m someone’s mom.

Babies might be small, but planning for them can seem like a mighty feat. We do plenty to get ready for their arrival—we take the hospital tours and birthing classes, decorate the nursery and assemble the crib, throw the baby shower and hire the family photographer. But sometimes we do so much to plan for […]
