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...

Oh Crap

I have so wrapped up in getting ready for Christmas and stuff, that i have not realized that i have not posted for so long. Oops. I will think of something clever to say later… right now i have to go to go and meet my parents for some lunch.

We had a strange night last night, and this morning was kind of weird too. The wife went to Northern California, for work, for a few days. So its just me and the munchkin. I think that this morning she was kind of pissed that mama was not here to feed her.
I got really emotional this morning and kind of acted like a girl. But i thought that i needed to let you ladies know that when you are gone… you are really missed… by everyone.

As i laid awake in the bed this morning watching some show about the Universe, i kept one eye on the video monitor. It was about seven thirty and i knew that Marley was going to be getting up soon. Eventually she woke and i got her, and brought her into the bedroom. I tried to take her into the bed, and lay for a little while longer, but she wanted something. I put her down on the floor, and she quickly scurried off into the bathroom. I followed her in, to see what she was up to. As soon as she got in there, she looked around and kind of pouted and headed to my wife closet. When she got in there she started balling. She sat up and looked and me, then looked around again… and folded over on the floor and started this sad kind of cry.

It dawned on me that she was looking for her mama. I think that she figured out that mama was not home, and this made us sad. I felt bad this morning. It sucks that Ashley has to leave for days at a time. Marley is just going to have to put up with me for the next few days.
