A few days ago, Caleb and I were having one of our moments. We were hanging out on the changing table (something that he really enjoys to do). He was staring out the window. I was gazing at him. And I probably even kissed him a few times. I kept looking at him. Eventually his […]

I Like to Kiss my Son
I like to kiss my son. And of course, by the above photo, you can tell that he likes it. But seriously…I like to kiss my son. There are so many spots on a baby that are just so cute and precious and kissable. His cheeks, his ears, his chin, his forehead, the top of […]
Video Update of Caleb Elijah
Just put together a quick video of some video shots from the past week or two. I love this kid so much – so cute, so much expression…I can see why people say they miss this age, and how it goes by so quickly.
Hi, my name is Adam, and I am an iParent
[audio:http://www.dazeddad.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Caleb.mp3] Press play and listen while you read this post. And be prepared for super-cuteness around the 46 second mark. My iPhone is almost out of space with photos and videos of Caleb. It’s not that I don’t spend time WITH my son, but the kid is just so damn cute and makes the funniest, […]
Parents Against Vaccines
Yesterday, the Ashland Daily Tidings posted an article called “Poxsicle Parties.” First, a little background. Ashland has the highest rate of nonvaccinated children in the state of Oregon (and has been recognized by the CDC as one of the highest in the nation). A few years ago, Frontline did a special called The Vaccine War, […]
Father Son Bonding in the Early Weeks
I love this photo that Sarah took (along with some others you can see here) – especially the expression on Caleb’s face. I’m not quite sure he knows what to make of me. That’s true when I look at him sometimes, as well. I’m not really sure what to make of him. Just last week […]
Some Sights & Sounds of Caleb’s First Month
I threw this together in about 30 minutes on my iPhone. Pretty cool. This is for those of you who wanted to hear some of Caleb’s crying…and his general cuteness.
The Sacrament of the Present Moment
In college, I read a book by a French Catholic Jesuit, Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675–1751) called The Sacrament of the Present Moment (it’s a short book, and one that I’d highly recommend reading). It’s something that has been coming back into my mind recently as I think about these holy moments that we have with Caleb […]
Photos of Caleb Elijah
Alright…let’s just be honest if we can. Everyone thinks that THEIR baby is the cutest baby in the world, right? Well, we all know that isn’t true. We’ve all seen those ugly babies. You know…odd looking heads, weird little faces, and those babies with the super thick black hair (those babies have always freaked me […]
I Have a Hard Time Liking My Son (at night)
For those of you who are visiting Dazed Dad from Simple Mom, welcome! It’s great to have you here. I hope you’ll take some time to look around and read about our journey. I am a father of 3, 1 living. Our twin boys, Micah and Judah, were born and passed away on October 25, 2010. […]
