Six months ago on August fourth I gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Maire. She weighed 8lbs. and 4oz. and was 22inches long. She gave me a short and painless labor, lasting around five hours. Everybody we knew was at the hospital to greet little Maire into this world. The next day her dad and I got to bring her home. It was a hot sunny day. Everybody was exhausted but yet very happy.
Maire was very happy and eager to learn and explore her new world. As the next six months went by she developed an attitude, where it's her way or the highway. Her dad and I are having a very troubling time to harness this attitude.
Along with the attitude situation we'll also be discussing other topics. For example teething, introducing solid food, crawling, and sleep habits. A couple other things would be how to solve these problems and how to find creative and manageable ways to spend quality time with your children.
I hope you will enjoy our journey through parenthood and gain helpful information.

  1. I'm eager to read some of your future posts! These look like some good starting topics. I especially like how you're interested in finding solutions to parenting problems and coming up with creative ways to spend time with your children. In terms of parenting problems, Jeff and I were just talking about a great book called "Love and Logic." It's the most sensible, effective approach to parenting that I've seen. Maybe Jeff can talk a little more about it in his blog or here. It's pretty cool and would be well worth buying while your baby is still little.

  2. Hi Tiffany, Congrats on your new bundel of joy. Parenting is the best job I've ever had in my life. I've been through several parenting classes, and by far Love and Logic hits the nail on the head. If you can find time for more classes... They host them on a regular basis. It's a very interactive and fun class. I wish Jeff and I would have taken it for Ali when she was Maries age. You can find there information on line and at most librarys. I can't wait to read more.

  3. It's a great achievement to bring life into this world I would assume congratulations an the best wishes go out to your family. I being a young man myself I could not imagine the overwhelming joy you must feel to raise and nurture a young child into adulthood. To have a responsibility has got to be a great learning opportunity, because I would imagine or assume when watching over and protecting someone teaching them values and moral respects, has to teach you a lot about yourself and a lot about the world that you would never have seen. If you had not brought life into this world a different perspective, a different outlet on life. with a great accomplishment comes a great challenge and a great appreciation comes from overcoming the challenges that present itself. When being a parent, because not everyone is suitable or responsible enough to be reliable or tribute relied on an off to be a parent. So when you're daughter get older, and she starts to mature. I'm sure she will look at you and understand the sacrifices and the hurdles. You went over to make a better life for her and that is a very magical thing to have in parenthood achieving not only for yourself. But for her, that is a very spectacular feeling I could guess. Yeah Tiffany I could imagine the immense pride you have to be your daughter's mother
    Peace
