Hi, my name is Maryana. My husband and I have a 9-month-old son, Benjamin. During maternity leave, I decided to stay home full-time with the baby. It's very rewarding, and I love it, but I would also like to meet some moms in the area with babies of similar ages. There are some moms with babies in our neighborhood, but they also have older kids, so it's difficult to do a play group with them.

Currently, bedtime is a challenge for us. He's just do full of energy, and none of the suggestions from various sleep books seem to help.
