My babies hair

I’m Canadian European and my partner is Taiwanese and raised in Thailand. His family wants to shave my baby’s head and put his hair into a pen. A tradition that I just can’t bring myself to do. I love my sweet boys hair but don’t want to disappoint his family more than I already do.

Good Toys for 9 month old

Hi all, Our little one doesn’t have a load of toys, but I am wanting to buy him some. I’d really like them to be good quality investment toys. Something that will last well, and can be passed down when he’s finished with them. Do you have any suggestions to what your 9+ month old might like to play with? Thanks ...
