Once Lily turned one, the transition was on from bottles to sippy cups and from formula to whole milk. It took a couple of weeks, but she’s successfully transitioned. The biggest thing to remember is to go slow. We fist started introducing sippy cups instead of bottles before we started transitioning milk. We’d give Lily one for […]

When did my baby girl become a toddler?
When Lily turned one, did that make her a toddler? Or what’s that age is it when they no longer considered a baby? I don’t think I’m ready for a toddler. I like my baby girl. Toddlers seem bigger, more independent and I’m not ready for that. I like my little girl who’s completely dependent on me and who thinks I’m […]
Overnight diapers help stop Lily from waking up at night.
Last week I wrote about how Lily was waking up at 4:30am. We thought it might be because her diaper was getting too full so we got ourselves some overnight diapers. Sure enough, that has helped a lot! She still wakes with a really full diaper, but it’s not like her pjs are wet. And […]
Our first weekend away from Lily.
Over Labor Day weekend, we had our first weekend away from Lily. It was two nights, and nearly two days, of just me and the wife with no baby and it was fun; weird but fun. As new parents, we get so use to carrying the diaper bag, pushing a stroller and doing all those […]
The joy of toilet paper.
Lily has recently found the joy of toilet paper. It’s soft, it’s within reaching range, easy to grab, and it just keeps coming the more and more we pull. Needless to say, all toilet paper has been removed from the holder and is up high where little hand’s can’t get. I sometimes wish that I […]
It’s hard to update the daddy blog when someone gets up at 4:30am.
You may have noticed that my posts have been few and far between lately. It seems that Lily has gotten into a habit of not wanting to go to bed easily, and then getting up at 4:30 in the morning. This leaves Dad taking care of Lily instead of perusing the internet and writing blog […]
Dear mosquitoes, stop biting my baby girl.
I love Minnesota, but the mosquitoes are no fun. Nearly every day my wife, baby girl and I go for a walk. And nearly every day, we get bit by mosquitoes. I joke that Lily has mosquitopox. The red bumps make me think of chickenpox, but lucky for us, they’re not. We’ve tried getting a clip-on […]
Lily’s first birthday party!
Lily’s first birthday party went off quite well. Unfortunately, one set of grandparents couldn’t make it due to illness, but it’s better they stay away than spread it to everyone else. Other than that we had good food, cake and fun. Lily got to see some people she doesn’t see as often and she got […]
Watch Lily Grow Through Daily Photos
One day last March I decided to use my iMac to take a picture of Lily and myself. It was quick and easy and I ended up taking a picture almost every day since then. What I’ve ended up with is a growing collection of pictures of my little girl and myself. Over the past […]
