The End of Innocence

Posted on March 9, 2005 by benmac

Trixie isn’t a kid anymore. I always figured I wouldn’t realize it until she started kindergarten or maybe college. Instead, it happened Tuesday. I was dropping her off at daycare, unpacking her stuff for the day and her teacher told … Continue reading →

A Bigger Change

Posted on February 7, 2005 by benmac

So, as reported below, no more Diaper Telemetry. I’m sure the disposable diaper companies are glad it’s gone. They don’t want you thinking about how many diapers a baby goes through — it’s not good for their business. I’ve gotten … Continue reading →

Thump-a-thunk

Posted on December 16, 2004 by benmac

I was in the kitchen this morning, with Trixie in her crib, when I heard a huge thump-a-thunk. I promptly ignored it because how much trouble can she get into when she’s in the crib? Not expecting anyone or anything … Continue reading →

2,000

That’s a lot of diapers. I’m still shocked when I step back and think about the total number she has gone through. It’s depressing.

2 down, 18 to go

Posted on April 29, 2004 by benmac

Sometime yesterday, or maybe the night before, Trixie finally cut her first teeth. The good news is that there’s been an improvement in her crankiness level and her sleep patterns are (mostly) back to normal. The bad news is that … Continue reading →

Involuntary Standing

Posted on April 19, 2004 by benmac

Yesterday morning Trixie balanced in the standing position without assistance for about 5-10 seconds. I was excited by this development, but for her it was completely unintentional and very unwelcome. I was helping her stand up when I noticed that … Continue reading →
