After posting sympathies for your Wills sleeping patterns, for the last few nights William seems to be following in his footsteps. I have just re-read your 4 month old post and he is doing *exactly* the same. I can't even count the number of times I was up replacing his dummy!. I've read all the...

The Monk had his very first solids (at 5 months, 2 weeks and day) over the weekend - fresh steamed butternut squash mashed to a pulp. He made a terrible face on the first bite but easily moved the food to the back of the mouth, swallowed and opened for more. He does his "eaty eaty" sign...

Erin is now 3 weeks old.. we thought she may have colic at first, but she doesn't cry non-stop. She feeds, then shortly after latching on and sucking she is full of wind, I burp her and she vomits enough that I need to use cloths to clean/catch it. Then she cries and wants the breast again...

Two bottom teeth. And a desire to test Mommy's responses. She drew blood. Mommy managed NOT to fling baby across the room. Mommy did not manage keep from screaming bloody murder. Daddy tried to be solicitous but Does Not Get It. Ow.

Just had to report - my ds, now 3yo, decided last night while dh and I were feeding and changing dd (3mo), that he wanted in on the action. I had a baby doll that ds used a little bit while I was pg to get used to the idea of a baby in the house. Well, he went and got it, and changed the diaper...

I'm trying to type up a list of lullabies so that I don't have to sit in the rocking chair and wrack my brain to come up with a song to sing next. They don't have to be traditional lullabies, just so long as they're soft and slow and easy to sing... What songs do you sing to your kids? I like...
