  • 12 Jul, 2010

Just a few days ago I was complaining that Lily was hard to put down and that she didn’t want anything to do with me at bed time. Fast forward a week or so and things are much better. I’m now able to put her to sleep, and it’s taking considerably less time. So how […]

I love playing with Lily’s blocks and building tall towers. I’ve been doing it for months now and, as it turns out, Lily has been knocking them down for months now too. She love it. I guess that makes us a good combination.
