The amazing sleep patterns of babies.

I’m constantly amazed at the stages babies go though and how quickly they pass. When Lily was born it took work to put her to sleep and she’d be up every two hours or so. After about two months she was easier to put down and sleeping a few hours at a time. Then it […]

At what point do we start to screw up our kids?

At what point do I have to start to worry about screwing my baby girl up? Is there really any reason to worry? Lily is almost 9 months old and she’s moving, exploring, and there are lots of things that Lily does that I can’t help but laugh at. Like when she plays with the […]

All cool babies have three teeth.

At about 4 months, Lily got her first two teeth on the bottom. Now, 4 months later, she’s got one more, this time on top. Most people will tell you that babies get teeth in pairs, at least the first few anyway, but not us. We are rocking the smile with three teeth. All cool […]

Every parent needs a good digital camera.

If you are about to have a baby, there will be many things on your checklist to buy. One item I highly suggest getting, if you don’t already have one, is a nice digital camera. You want something small and easy to use as you’ll be taking lots of photos. You’ll want to be able […]

Do you suppose they were sincere about babysitting?

As soon as we got pregnant, we had family and friends say that they’d baby sit. After we had Lily, the offers kept rolling in.

When we had Lily, a Bumbo was on our list of things we wanted, but didn’t need right away. So when it came time for Lily to start learning to sit up, we didn’t have one. We tried to get her to learn how to sit up by holding her, and were having OK success. […]

Hey, don’t put that in your mouth little girl! Nom Nom Nom

I’ve been a dad for less than a year but one thing I’ve learned is babies put everything in their mouths. This is what our day is like. Hey, dad’s watching that. Lets not put the remote in our mouth and change the channel as we eat it. Dad’s cell phone is not for eating […]

Should I be giving my baby bacon flavored formula?

Have you heard that they are creating a bacon flavored baby formula? From what I can tell it’s true and they make some pretty big claims that make me wonder if I’m a bad parent by not giving it Lily. From the Bacon Baby website: By the age of 4 months, our test subject started […]

Who knew that getting rabbit ears on a baby would be so hard?

Well I guess more parents would be able to tell me that babies aren’t to fond of things on their head. Especially when they are rabbit ears and dad just wants to get a cute picture. It took quite a few tries, but we managed to get a few good Easter bunny ear shots! As […]
