Everybody Loves Papa!
It has been so much easier getting out of the house sans the kids. Bella just LOVES her papa, which means I can leave her with him and not worry like I did with Max. When Max was a baby, he would not give Hal a chance to comfort him [...]

Bella has been sleeping in her crib for the past six nights. I created a routine of reading, rocking, and nursing her before laying her down by 8:30 pm. She isn’t actually sleeping when I put her in the crib but she normally falls asleep shortly thereafter. Not without fussing and crying, [...]
