Caleb turns two tomorrow. I can’t believe it. As I was putting him to bed tonight, we sat in the chair in his room and talked a little bit about how it was going to be a big day tomorrow – he was going to turn TWO. Well, it was more like me talking and…I […]
Support This Site
Some of you may know this, but…there are times when I’m not above shameless self-promotion. So, this holiday season, if you’re going to be buying a lot of Christmas and holiday gifts for friends and family through Amazon…maybe you could take 10 extra seconds and go to Dazed Dad first, and then click to Amazon […]
Headbutting
I get how this could be a frightful sight if my “little” 33lb bundle of joy was running toward you, head down, with this expression, ready to jump on top of you and take you down… …and that’s what he’s been doing at daycare recently. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted an update. Since […]
Caleb is 16 Months Old: Photos & Video
Caleb became 16 months old a few weeks ago…I’m sure people get sick of new parents saying this, but “WOW! Time flies!” Can’t believe he’s been with us for 16 months already. I wanted to just share a few of my favorite photos in this post, and then leave you with a video that I […]
A Fatherhood of Joy & Grief: My First Podcast
A few weeks ago, I agreed to do my very first interview for Sherry Muterspaugh Walling and her Parenting Reimagined podcast. I’ve often turned down requests for podcast interviews because I don’t think on my feet as well as sitting down to write a blog post. However, I did want to share Micah, Judah and Caleb’s story […]
Sometimes The Stupidest Things Are the Best
This is the Baby Soother App (it comes for the iPhone & the iPad). It doesn’t really do much, especially the free version. If you just get the free version, you see a minimally-animated screen of penguins waddling around, and a couple cheesy nursery rhymes that sound like old midi files that rotate through in the […]
The Best Dodgeball Balls for Babies to Play With
A few months ago, I was getting some new balls for our youth group’s game of Scatterball (something that is very close to dodgeball) and after a bunch of research, I ended up getting a set of Rhino Skin Dodgeballs. They ended up being perfect for our game (perfect size, weight, texture…everything), but what I […]
Late Night Grocery Shopping
When Caleb arrived, there was some switching of chores and who got to do what. For the past couple years in California, Sarah was the grocery shopper, and I think enjoyed going to Whole Foods in San Ramon. But, in all honesty, she now hates grocery shopping. And maybe you do too. I, on the […]
The Battle of the Wipes
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 […]
