Tonight was a milestone night! Juliette didn’t have a diaper on this evening – she wanted her underwear instead after her last change. So just after dinnertime she was standing in the...

Hi Daddy, It’s Me!

Anonymous Dad — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:32:23 +0000

My little girl keeps amazing me. She’s only started speaking in phrases in the past couple of months – up until then it’s been 2-3 words strung together. So imagine my surprise when...

It’s mid-October, and that means Halloween is just around the corner. The stores are filling up with Halloween costumes, masks, decorations and general crap. And of course, the store fliers are...

Three Feet Tall

Anonymous Dad — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 19:25:50 +0000

We just measured Juliette’s height the other day, after not checking for a few months. We’d noticed she was longer when holding her, and also that her jeans no longer needed to have the...

Dove Cat Fox

Anonymous Dad — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 13:17:51 +0000

No, this one is not about us or our kid, it’s about a strange series of events that happened over the last 3 days. Friday morning we awoke to find a badly-wounded white dove on our balcony. It...

Hospitalized

The worst week with Juliette happened last week. I didn’t want to write about it at the time as we were quite worried and stressed. But now that it’s past, I think I can. No parent likes...

Face Plant (or How I’m the Best Dad)

Anonymous Dad — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:46:05 +0000

I hate to admit it, but Becoming-A-Dad is the greatest hazard in Juliette’s life. Or so it seems at times. No, I’ve never dropped her (knocking wood). And no, I’ve never fallen on...
