Lily is now getting her teeth brushed once a day and she love it. Brushing our teeth has been integrated into our bedtime routine so that she gets use to having to do it. Each night, after our nighttime bottle, we run over to the bathroom, get our toothbrush, and clean off our teeth. Lily […]

The best things come from Amazon.
Lily loves when things come from Amazon. The boxes are extremely fun to climb in and out of and they usually come with paper packing inside! Never mind the toys that may be in there too, we’re mainly just interested in the box.
Successfully transitioned from formula to whole milk and bottles to sippy cups.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Over the weekend we installed our second, non-infant, car seat. Lily is finally outgrowing her first one and so we’ve got a big new fancy one. I swear it’s more comfortable than the rest of the seats in the car. Anyway, installing car seats is a pain. But I realized that instead of just pushing […]
Do all babies have gaps in their top teeth?
Lily is working hard at getting teeth and so far we have four; two on top, two on the bottom. However, the two on the top have gap between them and I was wondering if this was normal. Did your baby have gaps in their top teeth?
Pampers Dry Max creating rashes and chemical burns? Not for us.
It seems that there are a lot of rumors going around that the new Pampers Dry Max are causing rashes chemical burns on babies butts. This news was of particular concern to us as we use the Dry Max diapers and don’t want our baby to have to go though this. In fact, a few […]

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 […]
