I’m Mr. Mom today.

It’s time for dad to step up to the plate and use all that parenting knowledge he’s been soaking up. You see, daycare’s closed today. That means I get to spend all day just hanging out with Lily. But that also means I get all feedings, changing and everything else. I’ve spent a ton of […]

What’s a parent to do when WE get sick?

It’s inevitable, someday mom and dad will come down with a cold and then what? Actually this happened last week. First Christi got something, and then passed it to me. We were worried about passing it to Lily, but there isn’t much a parent can do; is there? Yes, we washed our hands often and […]

We’ve officially graduated to the big bathtub.

It’s been a few weeks now, but Lily has graduated from the baby bathtub to the adults bathtub. How did we know it was time? Well when your baby figures out how fun it is to kick their feet in the water and you get soaked then you know. Those little bathtubs are nice, but […]

For those that don’t know, puffs look like Lucky Charms (no not the marshmallows) but dissolve very fast in a baby’s mouth; kind of like the Lucky Charms marshmallows. Puffs come in a variety of […]

I guess daylight savings time does screw up babies.

When I first heard that daylight savings time screwed up babies sleep schedule I was a bit skeptical. I agree that a time chance can cause a problem, but didn’t think it’d be that big of deal. That was until we tried to put Lily to bed. In Lily’s mind, it was 7, not 8 […]

Can babies have nightmares?

Last night, about 11pm, Lily started making noise in her crib; she started to whimper and cry. It wasn’t a loud I’m hungry or I’m hurt cry, in fact, she wasn’t even awake! After a minute or two I went in to check on her and she was definitely asleep. I touched her head and […]
