What's going on this week

Most of the heavy early-logistics list (paperwork, insurance, car seat setup) should be settled by now. This month is mostly about closing loose ends before the twelve-month checkup.

Your checklist

Household & gear

  • Do a full walk-through baby-proofing check now that standing and early walking may be starting.

Appointments & paperwork

  • Confirm the twelve-month well visit is scheduled; it typically includes another vaccine round.

Partner care

  • A full year of new-parent logistics is nearly behind you; plan something, even small, to mark it together.
