Notes from a Stay at Home Dad… tips, tricks, stories and fun
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...
Keeping Cool at the Lake
Teach Your Baby To Swim
Now that summer is really here, I am sure that we'll be getting down to the local watering hole (pool) a lot more often.  And that means I will have to be on my A game when it comes to watching the kid in the pool.  I cant stress how important I think that is to know how to swim.  It's one of those things that you just need to know how to do... because if you cant swim, it's like not knowing ho...
Swimming, Crawling, Insomnia
For the last week or so, the kids have been doing some really crazy stuff.  I don't know what happened, but the kids don't seem to be themselves lately.  Marley, who loves swimming and the pool, has decided to change her mind.  She has had swim lessons every day this week, and loved them.  Now, she throws a shit fit every time I try to get her into the pool.  Today, she was not going in, ...
How Old Are We Really
Last week, I got the bug to go out and be a kid again.  I thought... I need to get out there and do some active things.  All this hanging out with babies all day is starting to make me soft, I need to get active again.  So I did what any man would do... Looked for a DODGEBALL match to get in.  Well I found one in downtown Seattle at Cal Anderson Park. Every Tuesday and Friday night at 9:00 ...

IMG_0640If you want to paint some cool birch trees like this, just follow these simple steps
  1. With a pencil, lightly draw the outline of the tree

Stay at home dad is getting a promotion soon

IMG_7942Yup.  Its almost time.  We have the little guy due in the beginning of January, and the preparations for his arrival are in full swing.  We have the his room all painted, decorated, and outfitted.  I would have to say that I have not seen a cooler little boys room… ever.  Being a stay at home dad, I have lots of time on my hands (when the girl is sleeping) to do these things.  We decided to paint it green, I heard it was calming… and it goes with the baby bedding.
