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...

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 back do do’s.  And to make it worse, I still have yet to get the girl potty trained… but it’s just been so damn nice outside, I don’t want to spend the entire week inside.  But, I guess that’s my fault though.  Sorry mama, looks like we might have to wait until you take your next vacation to tackle the potty training thing.

Just kidding, I got this under control… I hope.

Feed Yourself Kid – The Bobalong

Posted By: newdadscliffnotes.com on June 3, 2010 in Feeding Stuff, Uncategorized - Comments: No Comments »

So when you get to be a certain age (4mths), and starts becoming a man, one of the first things that you need to do is figure out how your going to get some food.  I know that, after breast feeding 7-10 times a day for the last five months… then seeing my ulgy face, sometimes he doesn’t want to eat.  He seems to do better when I prop him up on a pillow or something and let hem feed himself.  But the problem is that he still cant hold the bottle very well.  Then I remembered this thing that my wife brought home months ago,  its called the Bobalong Baby.  Its pretty big for my kid still… but it still works.  And he seems to really like feeding himself sometimes.
