Daddy’s Girl

I’ve always heard the term Daddy’s Girl, but never truly understood it until I had one of my own. This little monkey grabs on tight and won’t let go.  Once safely in my arms she looks around at everyone, including … Continue reading →

Nerdling

I hope Lily turns out to be a nerd. Probably because I consider myself a nerd, and I think most people want their children to become little mirrors of themselves.  But I also want her to embrace and welcome our … Continue reading →

Poor Bruiser

Dear Lily, Wow.  You’re walking more than crawling these days.  This is a very exciting time for all of us, but I have to admit, you look like a little prize fighter.   With all this walking comes a lot … Continue reading →
