Notes from a Stay at Home Dad… tips, tricks, stories and fun
Wyatt’s One
Wyatt's one! Now that he is all grown up... its easy to see just how different boys and girls really are. All boy, this one. Wants to wrestle and play fight all the time. He loves to torture his big sister, and she likes to try to push him around... too bad he almost weighs as much as she does, and takes her down like a WWF superstar. His favorite thing to do now is play chase, and des...
Nine months and walking… again!
Again... I thought I was going to have a little more time before the little guy started walking. Nope, just like his big sis... he picked up walking early. Just over nine months... and he is staring to walk around, determined to master the two legged art of the giants. And I am sure that in a week or two, running will come, along with a whole new set of injuries and adventures. But for n...
Baby Proofing the House
It's been a few years since i last baby proofed the house, and now it seems, its time for it again. It never fails, that the one thing that your forget to make safe, is the one thing that they will hurt them self or go for, over and over again. Here is my list of necessary things to be baby proofed, again.
Covers on all the outlets - babies like to stick things there all the time, toys, f...
Nine Months
The boy is nine months old now, and I can tell... he'll be walking soon. He is learning some good tricks from his big sis, like how to climb up on things by stacking things up to get higher. Soon he will learn that the higher you get... the harder you will fall. We have had a few good falls, no blood... but still good falls. I can tell that this boy is going to be tough... little t...
Poop Galore!!!
We recently made the switch to solid foods. Well, not really solid... mush. I am really starting to miss the days of a strict boob milk diet. Not too many poops and the smell was bearable. Now, with the addition of formula and baby food, the poo flood gates have opened and I have found myself in a non stop diaper changing haze. I mean it's nuts man. It doesn't stop. Back to back to b...
Man, Get Out of Here

The other day my wife came home from shopping at the mall with a good story that she said I should share with all of you.
So you know how at some malls and department stores they have “family lounges” where we can all go in and feed or change our babies. My wife, who is comfortable breastfeeding anywhere, was feeding our kid, and talking to some other people that were in there feeding their kids, and changing them and stuff. Anyway, apparently there was some guy in there who was changing his baby’s diaper, and I guess he was talking to some other lady in there, because wife wife was eavesdropping on the conversation, like all women do. He was a stay at home dad, who was new to the area, and was saying how he thought it was cool that there was a “family lounge” at the mall. Then some lady came in with her kid to feed, and she got all in his face, asking him to leave because she wanted to feed her kid. He laughed at her at first. But she kept it up, and was being really rude to this guy telling him to get out. Nobody stuck up for this guy, he got embarrassed or felt bad or something and he left.

I live for these type of moments. I love the confrontation between myself and fu#%ing beeotches like that. It happens more often that you think. Just because we are men who are taking care of the baby, women think they rule all the family places…they don’t. Us guys are coming out in a big, big way. You better get used to it, and get out of our way.

I couldn’t agree more…dads are finally banding together and building a strong alliance to combat the mommy establishment.
