Father and Son

I took these pictures of Bae and Baby Bae over a week ago. I'm not a professional photographer by any means, but hey, I'm rather impressed by how they turned out!

Bear the Supermodel

Well, no, not really. But you have to admit my kid is pretty photogenic. Last weekend during #streetmeetLA, Bear was photographed by child photographer, Tina Clara. She took so many amazing shots of him, I honestly don't have a single favorite. Here are some samples of her wonderful work: To contact Tina, check out her links: Website Facebook Instagram Pinterest

School Pictures

It's occurred to me that I'll never really posted Bear's school pictures before. These came out pretty good! But honey, let me tell you...getting this kid to keep still and smile took a lot more effort than I expected it to! People keep telling me and Maks to put Bear into modeling. We are contemplating it when he's older and he wants to do it (I honestly don't have time

My Son Needs His Own Room…and I'm Slightly Freaking Out About It.

It's no secret Maks and I have co-slept with Bear since, well, birth. Not by choice, mind you. While he did sleep in his bassinet (and then crib), he always prefers sleeping with us. Plus, I was (am) breastfeeding at the time so it made sense to give him some boob as we (mainly he) slept. Now, Bear is becoming a big boy. And big boys need their own rooms.

My Kid is Starting to Potty Train and I Can't Deal

So, for the past year or so, we've been trying to get Bear to potty train. After putting him in school, his teachers revealed to us that he'll do it when he's ready and we can't force it. So we didn't. We bought special potty training books, a potty that's currently collecting dust and might be given away when we do donations this weekend, and a special toilet seat. Potty

Easter Weekend Festivities

This past weekend, we celebrated Easter here in L.A. and with my family back in Palm Springs. The weekend before, we took photos with the Easter bunny: [gallery ids="7223,7224,7225" type="rectangular"] (I told you I wasn't wearing black this time.) First, Bear went on a field trip with his classmates (with Daddy supervising) to Audubon Center. Bear was rather impressed with a hut while he learned about different birds and plants.

Chalk and Crayons

Lately, I've been teaching Bear more of his numbers, shapes, and colors, in addition to what he learns at school. I'm proud to say now he can count up to 30 and he knows his American alphabet pretty well. While he's at school part-time, he's with me (us) full-time for the remaining days of the week. We don't want him to be overly dependent on his iPad and TV but

Why My Son Has His Own IG Page

[caption id="attachment_6707" align="alignnone" width="2448"] Courtesy of me. Bear's IG is @bogdanbear[/caption] There's often a debate on how much a child should be exposed on the world wide innanets when he has no say in that exposure. Some parents are very private with their children and you rarely see a pic of them. Some are like, 'Hey, you want see a picture. I have 19797893423 of them. Here you go!' Some parents
