Holiday Fun
The holidays this year were the best I can remember in some time. They were also some of the busiest days I can remember as well. This time at least it was with family. Being a
stay at home dad has its benefits during the holiday season for sure. It started before thanksgiving going hunting and spending time with my Aunt and Uncle from Colorado where normally I only have had a brief 1 to 2 day
stay with. Then during the Christmas Holidays we had family at our house and then went to spend New Years with my
wife's family. New Years was a great Celebration as collectively we purch...

Six Months Already
Its hard to believe its been
six months already since my
son was born. I still have friends and family ask "So when are you going to have another
baby?". And though looking back I see that we have overcome many obsticles; like waking up every two hours to feed, and cholic, the amount of care and involvement necessary for a
child is so overwhelming that the thought of having another at the moment seems somewhat of an impossability. I hear that mothers will tend to forget or be de-sensitized to birth pains and be ready again for a
baby, but I wonder do
stay at
home dads forget the c...

Fun Expression
As time goes by their begins to be more and newer types of interaction between my
son and I.
feeding him foods has been a lot of fun and a lot of laughs! So so far green beans are going to take some work for him to get accustomed to. But in the meantime they sure make for some good pictures and laughs. He like eating oatmeal with me and is ambitious when it comes to apple sauce. :)
feeding a 5-6 month old is messy but a lot of fun, just as long as you are able to take your time with your
baby and just enjoy this new experience with him.

Colic Can Be A Parenting Nightmare But Does Not Have To Be
I've been a
stay at home dad now for a while and have seen lots of changes and challenges with our
baby son. In the past 4+ weeks one of those challenges has been my sons crying. Its extremely frustrating as a
parent to have a
baby that cries frequently, but even more so when there is no apparent reason for the crying.
Even more frustrating can be the strain this puts on the
parents relationship. Normally I consider myself a very patient and rational person, it is what has made me successful as a manager in my career. However, I found myself becoming very short tempered and all...

A Day At The Park
Father and
son can only stare at eachother and the same four walls before its time to meet some new faces in new places. So a friend of mine who is a
stay at
home mom told me about a
stay at home dad group that she heard of. So I checked it out, Austin
stay at
home dads, and today we went for our first trip to the park. I highly recommend that other
stay at
home parents seek similar escapes to their daily routines. It was a nice break and a great chance to meet other
parents and learn from their trial by fires :).
