Poop Galore!!!
We recently made the switch to solid foods. Well, not really solid... mush. I am really starting to miss the days of a strict boob milk diet. Not too many poops and the smell was bearable.

Back to back to b...
Teach Your Baby To Swim
Now that summer is really here, I am sure that we'll be getting down to the local watering hole (pool) a lot more often.

It's one of those things that you just need to know how to do... because if you cant swim, it's like not knowing ho...
Swimming, Crawling, Insomnia

Now that summer is really here, I am sure that we’ll be getting down to the local watering hole (pool) a lot more often. And that means I will have to be on my A game when it comes to watching the kid in the pool. I cant stress how important I think that is to know how to swim. It’s one of those things that you just need to know how to do… because if you cant swim, it’s like not knowing how to breathe.
