Yesterday was hilarious. Well, two days ago Caleb began making some louder noises than usual. We’ve been able to get him laughing recently (it’s this hilarious guttural laugh that I have yet to get a really good video of) but these were just sounds he was making on his own. Two nights ago, his noises were […]
A Different Baby at Night
I think we were getting spoiled for awhile by the fact that Caleb was sleeping through the night for a few weeks. It was pretty awesome. Put him down around 6-7pm, and then he wouldn’t wake up until around 6-7am. Really, really awesome. Sarah and I both got an evening to do what we wanted, […]
Using The Fray’s “Be Still” as a Lullaby
The past week has been a bit of a killer when it comes to trying to get Caleb to sleep…last night I put him down three times (and he was asleep all three times), only to have him wake up again about 10 minutes later. Which is a total. Bummer. I’ve never been good with […]
Getting @Honest about Diapers
Alright. So, it’s time to get honest about diapers. Sarah and I had thought a lot about diapers before Caleb came along…I asked for advice here on this blog and on Facebook & Twitter, and Sarah did a TON of research into all the available options when it came to disposables/cloth/hybrids/etc. We eventually settled on […]
“Caleb! Stop it right now!”
We’re pretty used to Caleb sleeping through the night, so when he doesn’t…it always feels like a major bummer. Like the world is against us. Although, I know that we are incredibly lucky that he’s been sleeping through the night at such a young age. Last night he went down like normal, I got home, […]
How to Organize Baby Photos
So I’m normally pretty good at keeping things organized on my computer. Files are in appropriate folders, email Inbox is normally kept down to 0 messages (gotta love the Inbox Zero method) and everything is just where I want it. Ever since I started taking a lot more photos in the past few years (especially […]
Falling in Love All Over Again…Every Day
Two nights ago, it was my turn to put Caleb to bed. So I got the bottle, turned on the white noise, turned the lights off, swaddled him up, got into the rocking chair and started feeding him. 8oz later, he was still wide awake. Not. Cool. So I tried some rocking, some pacifier-ing, some […]
11 Week Video Update
Here’s a recent video update from the past couple weeks. Still a freaking cute kid…
The Parenting Pie Chart
Someone sent me the above image (source link here) last week – and at first I was going to blog about it, but then didn’t really have much to say about it. Then I stayed home with Caleb on Monday. Mondays are my day off, and the day that I’m responsible for Caleb so Sarah […]
I Can Make Caleb Smile
I can make Caleb smile. And I think that’s pretty awesome. In the past couple weeks, Caleb has been super-smiley in the morning. There are a few other photos below in case you need proof! This is a pretty huge deal. Just this afternoon when Sarah was gone, he started screaming. Like…really screaming. After unsuccessfully […]
