Since Reagan has been born, we go back in forth from crib to my bed, my bed to crib, etc, etc. We have been playing bedtime musical chairs for the past 7 months. I’ve been campaigning for her to sleep in her crib and she, of course, has been campaigning to sleep in my bed. Without going to much in the details of that, let’s just say Reagan has…

At Reagan’s 4-week check up, her pediatrician said to me, “oh, and watch for colic, it peaks at about 6 weeks”. I thought to myself, “nah, not my daughter, she’s an easy baby”. Well…..6 weeks on the dot, colic ws in full force and it got progressively worse as the weeks went on.

Her…

No, no…… it’s not due to pregnancy. Actually, since I have been feeding Reagan solid foods, I’ve actually started eating more myself! Here is how it all started. We went to lunch as a family the other weekend. I thought I would order Reagan something from the kids menu. It was so exciting; she was going to have her first “big girl” meal at a…

Ever since Colin was born he has screamed in the car. I thought he finally got over this at about 6 months, and now at 10 months it started again! I feel so bad for him when he is crying, but there really isn't much I can do besides sing or play music. If it gets really I bad I usually pull the car over. When he was younger I would have to pull the car over and nurse him!! I get so much anxiety when he does this. Why does my baby have to hate the car? When I tell people this they always say,…

All of the sudden, diaper changing has become a stand off between Reagan and I. You would think that changing a diaper was the end of the world. It actually used to be a fun bonding time for us. I had a mobile above her changing table and we would laugh and giggle together as the animals rotated around. I was table to entertain her with the simple peek-a-boo game and we could stay there for a good 5 minutes.

But now I have to restain her every time to even get the diaper off. And…
