How to Put an Infant to Sleep

December 31, 2007

I’m happy to say that we’re closing out the year on a quiet note. Layla has been a sleeping through the night for the past four or five days and aside from the fact that she’s grown out of her Step 1 diapers, there is nothing new to report.
We’ve developed and refined a system for [...]

My Baby is Sick or Full of Colic

December 23, 2007

It’s been a week since I’ve last posted, mostly because things have been very calm at the homestead. On Friday night, Rachelle’s parents asked to take the baby overnight so Rachelle and I went out to dinner, and then to the Hollywood Diner and Bar for a few drinks. It was our first ‘real’ night [...]

Ew.

December 4, 2007

Last night I was playing video games on the computer while feeding/burping the baby. After she finished her bottle, I sat her up against my chest with one hand, and clicked the mouse with the other. Soon after, Layla swayed back and hurled vomit all over me like a drunken sailor. It wasn’t that cutesy [...]
