Can you hypnotize a baby to sleep?

As I was putting Lily down tonight, she was doing her normal routine of eyes wide open, fidgeting, and not really wanting to go to bed. So I tried hypnotizing her… sort of. Basically I told her she was getting sleepy. Her eyes were heavy and she waned to drift off into dreamland. I kind […]

Looking for tips on flying with a baby.

In just a few weeks, our family is headed out on a vacation to San Diego California. Where as Lily is pretty easy to travel with, this will be her first time on an airplane and we’re all a little nervous. Have you flown with a baby before? Any advice? So far, here is what […]

Have I found the secret to putting babies to sleep?

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 build block towers, Lily knocks them down.

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.

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 […]

How do you take a baby to 4th of July fireworks?

Here it is 4th of July weekend and we’ve got no plans, which is a good thing, however fireworks are pretty much out for this year. Now I love fireworks, and I’m not a fan of sitting inside on the 4th when they are going on, but I’m not taking Lily to see them this […]

Is there a night owl stage in babies?

Lily has recently decided that sleeping is not her thing. She use to go down about 8 every night with little to no fuss. However, recently she hasn’t wanted to go to bed at all. We still have the same routine, but by 8:30 she’s still wide awake. Same goes for 9 and 10. She […]

Does this baby make me look fat?

There are so many things to worry about when you have a baby and keeping your figure is one of them. Somedays it feels like I’ve put on about 20 pounds. Be honest, does this baby make me look fat? 😀
