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 ...

Wyatt Adler Wainscott was born on January 15 2010 .  He is a big boy.  Coming out weighing 9lbs and 21 inches long.

The day stared at 4 am.  Everything progressed nice and smooth and Wyatt was born at 3:22 in the after noon.  We left for home the next day.

Since we came home, everything has been great.  The baby breastfeeding like and champ!  He has already surpassed his birth weight and is sleeping great.  I would have to say that things couldn’t be going better.  And as for out little girl, Marley… she seems to really love having the little guy around and is realy great with him.

On my first trip out of the house since bringing home baby, I went and purchased a new king size bed.  I cant believe that we hadn’t done that sooner.  Sleeping is really good, and there is tons of room int here for the whole family.

The diaper thing is getting a little out of control… at last count, I am changing about 17-20 diapers a day, between the two kids.   Time to really start pushing the potty training.

Well back to work… check back soon!

My wife’s best friend Rachel took the amazing photos… Thanks Rach!  Email me if you want her to take some photos for you… she is amazing.

pregnant

Well, I have the car and bags all packed up again.  Just waiting for the call from my wife, who is still working, that its time to go.  I feel like I am on constant alert.   But, lately… its been more like hurry up and wait.  I don’t know if this little guy is ever going to come.  I wonder how big he is now.  About a month ago, the ultrasound read 7.9lbs.  Got to be at least a 10 pounder.

Wait and see…

This Kid is Coming… Soon

Empty Kids Room... a scary one... not ours.

I remember, with the first kid, everything baby was all new and exciting and stuff.  We were always talking to the baby bump, giving him lots of music and stuff to listen to, and I think the baby really loved the Tony Robbins stuff, Kidding.  You know what I mean.  Everything was all fresh and new, and you wanted to do everything right.  I mean, even the food I cooked for my wife was way healthier.

I dont know, I guess I feel like this kid might be getting the shaft.  Theres no music everynight, no special book readings to the bump.  All that is going to stop, I mean start, tonight.  I need the give this kid some specail time.  Marley really seems to love music and books, and I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that we did all that cool stuff when she was still in the belly.

But now is the time act.  The baby is coming two months.  But we think it could be sooner, and we have done nothing to get ready.  With the first one… by know, we already had all the baby stuff, nursery completed, names picked out, stroller and car seats handled.  This time… nothing.

Is it the same for everyone else?
