Boot Baby #2 is Here

thatcherNewsflash - the BootsnAll crew is growing up, getting married and (gasp!) having children!

Most of you know that Bali Blogger Nick got married a few years ago and is now the proud father to Jevon, otherwise known as Boot Baby #1. He’s an adorable kid who’s lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at things) to have a dad who snaps his picture often and posts his smiling mug online for all of us to enjoy.

Well, we’re proud to announce a new member of the family! Adventure trip expert Donovan and his wife became parents last weekend to a bouncing baby boy! I think we should start making kid-sized T-shirts and onesies that say “Boot Baby” on them, don’t you? I haven’t met the little guy yet, and I have no doubt he won’t be slowing Donovan and his wife down at all in their travel ambitions. He’d better get used to carrying his own pack, and pronto. As one RTW tripper put it, “It began with this question, ‘Before we have kids and get tied down, what would be our biggest dream to fulfill?’ Today we ask, ‘How small do they make backpacks, and how much weight can a child carry?’”

Anyway, our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes (for a full night’s sleep!) go out to the new family, and we thought you’d want to know, too.

Your best wishes for a good night’s rest is well placed, Jessie. Donovan appears sleep needy, but Boot Baby #2 is in wonderland - thinking about future travels, carrying his share of supplies…

Yes, indeed, congratulations to the brand new parents and the entrance of yet another BootsnAll traveller.

Donovan,

Congrats to you and Carrie amigo. Get through the 1st month and its all downhill (in a good way).

Tips:
1. Sleep in a different room
2. Don’t blame the baby for being a baby.
3. Try to surprise Carrie with things she likes.
4. Be happy your baby cries, poops and screams, that’s what a healthy kid does.
5. Try to stay in shape. A lot of dads stress and stop doing what they do.
6. Breast feeding protects against illness (not you).
7. In Bali babies are exposed to the early morning light outside, as locals believe its health giving.
8. Babies are tougher than you think. Don’t be scared of it.
9. Daddy can feed too, with a bottle
10. Get a pembantu.
