FEEDING

Introducing Cereal Into Milk Or Formula

Introducing Cereal Into Milk Or Formula
So my son will be three months old in a couple of days, and is growing bigger and bigger each day. So while feeding we noticed that more and more often he would drink till he puked. Now our doctor mentioned that he should be fine on just milk or formula till his 4 month visit. But I believe a lesson is to be learned at doctors advice and parents intuition. I know when I puke after eating its one of three things; I was drinking too much, I got food poisining, or more probable in relation to my sons problem, I ate too much too fast because I was really hungry. Now of course this m...

STAY AT HOME DAD

Our First Day

Our First Day
So yesterday was our first day together. Yep, mom went back to work. Fortunately we have had a little over 2 months together to get to know each other. Started off real well with normal napping and playtime and then at 2pm the crying started, he wasn't hungry, didn't need to be changed, wasn't gassy, I could only calm the savage beast by holding him. Not just holding him any old way, but the way that tends to make your arm fall off, kinda like right now

VACATION FUN

Going Swimming With The Baby

Going Swimming With The Baby
So we went to canyon lake and decided it would be fun to take the baby for his first swim, and of course get lots of pictures. I wasn't sure how he would react to the water. He does love taking baths and more often than not falls asleep during them. I remember also how when I was growing up my mom and dad took me swimming and I loved it. However, it was a long time before I ever was swimming without the assistance of floaties or on of my parents. So we started out slow by going in the shallow kid area and at first he started crying. Soon after being in the water I suppose our son adj...

GETTING OUT

Our Babies First Dance

Our Babies First Dance
Staying at home with your baby can be very rewarding, however, you still need to find time for fun. So a couple of nights ago my wife and I went out dancing. Now neither of us are great dancers but with baby in hand we or maybe I should just say our baby was the life of the party. Being that we are first time parents this whole going out thing was a realization that some of the things we do may take a little practice and finess when bringing our son. Leaving our table to go find my wife, got about five steps out before, oops I'm in charge of the baby! So I turned around and brou...

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

Fire In The Garage

Fire In The Garage
I was visiting my Aunt the other day and she told me the story of how my dad, now deceased, had gotten all of his burns. This seems very fitting now since it is almost July 4th. I remember him telling me that it happened in a garage and had something to due with a barrel but that was about it. My Aunt went on to tell me that it happened when he was 5 years old. It was around July 4th and the children were allowed only small firecrackers. So my fathers siblings, all 6th of them including him, took the firecrackers and were placing them under paint cans etc. to get a bigger noise....
