Winter Babies (Alternately titled: Google is my enemy)

So somehow in the last 10 years of my life I've forgotten the art of figuring out things on my own. It's quite common to hear me say: "Google it." As I'm sure it is for many people. Don't know how to tie a tie? Google it. Need to unplug a sink and don't have any Drano? Google it. While this is great in many aspects, it can also be the complete downfall of someone like me who researches things to excess.

The last couple of days spring has actually started to (finally!) arrive here. I've started taking Miss P out in her stroller every afternoon for some fresh air for her and exercise for me. Of course, since she was born in October we spent most of the winter holed up inside. Needless to say, the very bright sun has been causing some squinting for her. Yasmin's boys were both born in the winter as well and she mentioned that this is very common for winter babies. They're not used to the bright lights etc. So...I decided to Google "winter babies."

Wow, was that a mistake! According to some studies (I don't know which ones, I glanced but wasn't really reading), winter babies do worse in life, blah blah blah. Then there were stories that winter babies are larger and healthier than summer babies. Who knew there was such a debate on when kids were born! Seriously, google it for yourself if you're that bored. Google can be such a blessing and such a curse at the same time!

In actuality, I googled the wrong thing. What I really need is some cute baby sunglasses for Miss P. Quickly realizing my error I redid my google search for "baby sunglasses" and look what I found...




Are they not the cutest!?! They're called Babybanz. Definitely ordering a pair of these today. We're ready for summer (and they'll totally match her wetsuit).

  1. Those are the cutest sunglasses! Prairie will be styling in them!
    I do not agree with that opinion of winter babies doing worse in life! I mean I'm a winter baby and I think I turned out just fine. :) Who do these people think they are, I might just have to google that for myself!
