Stairs. We can climb them.

There isn’t much that Lily can’t do these days. She’s learning things so fast that it’s just amazing. The other day we set her on the stairs to see if she’s crawl up and she did, no problem. We’ve tried it a few times and up she goes. She just knows what to do. The […]

Lily has the coolest Ikea SPÖKA night light.

Before Lily was even born, I got her a night light. I picked a really cool sea turtle that shines the night sky on the ceiling. It’s really nice, but didn’t light up the room very much. Then, months later, we were at Ikea looking around and came across the SPÖKA night light. I’m not […]
