I’ll Never

Like all new parents, I started off this journey with a nice long list of “I’ll Nevers.” Such as: ** I’ll never give my baby a pacifier… Which turned into… zOMG my nipples hurt so bad, give this girl a pacifier! (I’ll have you know, she’s still refusing the paci for more than a millisecond […]

Two ERs and a PICU

Parenting is full of adventures. As if adventures weren’t enough to keep you on your toes, life throws in a little something extra.  Not only do you get good, happy adventures, but you along with those you get a side of big bad scary adventures. How’s that for keeping it real? The Hubs and I […]

Tiny Triumphs

This is a big deal. Like, the biggest deal of all big deals. It’s bigger news than the invention of Owling this month (you don’t know what I’m talking about?  Yay, I didn’t either, until the Owling photos started popping up on my FB feed) Wait for it…. * * My kid took a pacifier! […]

No Egg Cookie Dough Balls

A non-baby post!  I know you all only stop by here to see pictures of Muffin…I mean Aria…eh? But I’m going to start trying to add in some other non-baby posts here and there – if I can hold back.  These cookie dough balls are DA BOMB.  They’re explosively awesome.  There truly isn’t anything better […]

Picture Post

Sorry for the lack of posting this last week.  My in-laws were in town to meet Muffin To make up for it, here are some pictures. Sporting her one and only Janie & Jack outfit, that she then proceeded to poop on.  Apparently my kid shits on style.  Sleeping on the job – tummy time […]

One Month Old

**This post was orginially written on Aria’s One Month Birthday, I’m a few days late posting it…** Or 1/12 of a year old! Chunky Monkey is officially 11 lbs!  That’s some good Milkie Milk she’s gettin’! 11lbs??  No way! The last month of our lives have gone by so fast.  It’s impossible to think that […]

Dr. Harvey Karp, My Sanity Thanks You

I’m just going to go out on a limb here and assume you’ve all heard of the book The Happiest Baby on the Block. Yes, I know you have.  Considering I’ve been hearing about it pretty much non-stop since it came out years ago.  Yes, my not pregnant, not married, hell…not even engaged yet self, […]

Oops, did I do that?

Being a parent is messy business. Take this afternoon for example – I’m hanging out with a sleeping baby nestled under my still exposed boob, all calmlike.  I like to leave my nips exposed to the open air for drying after Aria pops off and falls asleep in my arms.  Apparently, my body has decided […]

Independence Day

The day started out with nap time.  Mummy was supposed to be napping too, but she took pictures instead. Then Baby Girl got dressed up in her perfectly appropriate outfit (elephants + flag inspired!) We took some family pictures Given this facial impression, I can tell our daughter thinks we’re pretty ridiculous. Because my daughter […]
