Attack of the Mucus & Flem

We’ve been so good at keeping Lily healthy that I’m worried we are going to start making up for all her missed sick time. Over the weekend, the Mucus and flem started attacking and she hasn’t been sleeping well, hasn’t been feeling well, and sounds horrible at times. It all started at about 2am Saturday […]

Testing out SleepSacks with feet.

While at the store the other day, we noticed that SleepSacks now come with feet. It’s a way of allowing your little one to run around with a sleep sack on and, when it’s time for bed, you just put their little feet back into the SleepSack. So we bought one. We’ve had it for […]

Protecting the Christmas tree from Lily & the cats

Christmas is a fun time of the year, but having a little girl pulling ornaments off the tree, or taking it down, isn’t one of the fun parts. That’s why we put a gate around our Christmas tree. We purchased a North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard and wrapped it around the tree. It fits nicely and […]

Babies are fast when they are naked.

Lily likes to run around naked, but doesn’t get to do it very often. When we do take her clothes off, and she gets to run, she seems to move so much faster. It’s usually right before, or after, bath time. She’ll sometimes just take off and around the house she goes. She loves the […]

I’m thankful for Thanksgiving with the family.

This year Thanksgiving should be a lot of fun. Lily is walking and talking and ready to help out. We’ll have both sets of grandparents up she’ll be the center of attention. Plus there will be all the food that I’m sure she’ll just gobble right down. See eats pretty much everything these days. I’m thankful this Thanksgiving, […]

I think we’re getting some crabby teeth in.

Lily has been very fortunate that she doesn’t get all crabby when she gets new teeth. I hear other parents say that teething is bad, and we’ve been doing really well at it. With that said, Lily has seemed a bit more crabby in the past few days. She seems to want things a certain […]

We need diaper fueled heat or cars.

As I once again take a garbage bag full of stinky dirty diapers out to the trash, I can’t help but think there has to be something that can be done with all the dirty diapers. Just think if our cars ran on dirty diapers. We’d be set for life! Or at least a few years. Or […]

Will we always get sick when Lily gets sick?

If you recall, last week Lily got sick. It only lasted 12 hours or so and she dealt with it really good, however, the next day, I got sick. The day after that, Christi got sick. If we would have had any other family members, they’d have gotten sick too. That begs the question, will […]

Having a vomiting baby is no fun.

Well it had to happen, Lily got sick. We’ve been so blessed with a child that got some colds, a fever once, but never anything to terrible. Until last night, at about 1am. You see I was sound asleep until something woke me. My wife darted out of bed before I knew what was going on and […]

Can the clothes your kids wear turn them gay? What about into a ninja?

There is a great post over at Nerdy Apple Bottom about a mom who’s 5-year-old boy wanted to dress up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween. Mom agreed and he was so happy, but not everyone was. Turns out, he was afraid of being made fun of at school. But it wasn’t his classmates […]
