I’d like to reminisce over all Lily’s firsts this year, but there are just far too many! So, instead, I will find some pictures and reminisce about a few firsts. Her first non-formula meal was on June 6, 2012. It was immediately following her 4 month doctor’s appointment. She had been wanting to eat real […]
In the last post, I reminisced about the vacations we took with Lily in her first year. In this post, I will review her first holidays! So many things happened in her first year, it’s hard to decide what to write about in these posts. Groundhog Day (February 2, 2012) – On this day, Lily […]
Okay, so after I finished writing my post last night, I realized that I hadn’t really reviewed much of what happened in Lily’s first year of life. So, I am going to do a brief summary in this post of the vacations we took this year. First trip: A short road trip to Moncton, New […]
So, Lily had her first birthday at the beginning of this month. I actually find it hard to say, her first birthday. I didn’t think it would come so fast. I remember at the beginning saying, ‘I can’t wait until her first birthday, it will be so exciting!’ Now that it has come and gone […]
Lily turned 10 months yesterday. It is very hard to believe that in just 2 short months she will be a year old! It makes me a little sad to look back on her newborn pictures and realise how much time has passed already. It is going by WAY too fast. But, I digress, this […]

For two reasons really, my stomach is still huge and the area around the incision has been tender. But, yesterday, for the first time, I was able to squeeze my big belly […]
Last Wednesday night, Lily was having a very hard time sleeping. For the first part of the night she was waking every 30 minutes; as far as I could tell, there was no reason for it, although, she was eating a full 4 ounce bottle each time. I became very frustrated with this, just as […]
So, when Lily was first born, I started this blog as a way to let out how I was feeling about the circumstances surrounding her birth and then to use later as a way of communicating what is happening in her life without having to fill up my facebook page with constant status updates. I […]
Over the summer, we took Lily on two road trips. Every year we take a trip to Moncton to go to Magic Mountain and to take the kids to Crystal Palace, we weren’t going to let a little things like a new baby get in the way of our summer tradition – not to mention […]
One day last week, Lily was getting very bored of being inside, and was becoming cranky. So, I took her out onto our back deck with the dog. I sat down in one of our patio chairs and let her stand in front of me holding my hands. She didn’t want to stand for very […]
