Well tell your goat to jump down. Baby girl: He can’t! Me: Why not? Baby girl: He has no feet! ****************************************************************************************** Baby girl: […]

August 20, 2008 By Melanie Edwards 12 Comments

At our house, we try to give baby girl her nightly bath around 7:30 pm, though some nights it’s closer to 8 pm. The general goal is for the bed-time routine to be over and her to be asleep by 8:30 pm. Most nights, my husband gives baby girl her bath while I grab her […]

Bye Bye Binky

July 31, 2008 By Melanie Edwards 14 Comments
