I never imagined I would be so picky about wipes. I doubt Sarah did either. But I am. I’m incredibly picky about wipes. I don’t remember the brand of the ones we used at the hospital when Caleb was first born…but I liked those. Eventually we switched to Seventh Generation wipes. They were great. You could […]
Oh yah…I have a DOG too!
I think it was a couple weeks ago that I looked over at Sadie, and thought to myself…”Oh yah…I have a DOG too!” Sarah does a better job with Sadie than I do, and I’ll admit that between work, coming home, cleaning up, spending time with Caleb, etc., I tend to forget that we have […]
What You Should NEVER Say to Grieving Parents
I want to recommend to you a wonderful post by Ashley-Anne Masters called “Diary of a Death Diva.” This blog has been much more focused on the joys/frustrations of parenting and super-cute photos of Caleb recently, but there will always be the element of grief and loss, as losing Micah and Judah is a huge part […]
The Only Constant is Change
Parenting is hard. Like. Really hard. I don’t think you can ever fully have a grasp of what it is like…until it happens to you. And as I am sitting here tonight at 10:22pm, listening to Caleb start to slam his legs up and down in the crib, the first thing that came into my […]
Something Weird That Happens When I Feed Caleb
I call this photo “Adam 0, Caleb + Sweet Potatoes 1.” I generally try to keep the hands out of the whole feeding process, but that’s generally fighting a battle that I can’t win. Some days are better than others…this dinner last night was one where he wanted to take control a bit. So, I […]
Baby Proofing Your House: Some Tips for Newbies
It’s super fun to see Caleb rolling around, rolling across the room and getting more and more mobile. However, that made us realize…CRAP! We’re going to have to really start thinking about all of this “baby proofing” stuff. Man, I just wish he wouldn’t do stupid things like try and stick his finger in an […]
The Magic Touch
The past few nights, I’ve discovered a new talent. Something that seems almost magical. Something that, I think, both impresses and annoys the hell out of Sarah. I like to call it the “magic touch.” A few nights ago, Caleb woke up. Now, typically, when we go in, he’s fussing or crying…sometimes crying loudly…and we […]
What Up World…I’m 6 Months Old!
I’m a few days late with this post, but Caleb turned 6 months old last week. It’s pretty hard to believe. It seems like things are going by so quickly. He’s now rolling across the floor…and can pretty much sit up on his own. I’m getting nervous and excited for all the future changes that […]
“Happy Father’s Day! Hey, it’s your first!” Nope, not really.
Father’s Day. Another day that is fun for lots of people, hit or miss for others, and has the potential to bring great sorrow to many others. This year I find myself in a very different place than last year on Father’s Day. Being a dad to Caleb is awesome – a true joy to […]
How to Survive Your First Flight with a Baby
I still remember the flight. I was in college and there was a woman across the aisle from me with a baby. A baby who was crying. And screaming. And being incredibly difficult to control. You could tell the mother was doing everything she could to calm her baby, but to no avail. And the […]
