Notes from a Stay at Home Dad… tips, tricks, stories and fun
One Crazy Zoo – Olympic Game Farm Sequim, Wa
So the other day, we decided to go on a nice little day trip.  We heard from some friends about this drive thru farm that had crazy llamas, yaks, buffalo, deer, bunnies, lions, tigers, bears, elk, zebra, and even a rhinoceros with a six foot horn.  You get to feed them and they come right up to your car.  So we had to go. From Seattle, if you drive, its about two hours... or you can take th...

Home Alone
Last night, I had my first "real alone time" with both kids.  My wife went on a little shopping trip, and then to a movie... leaving me with little girl, and the 4 week old boy for like 6 hours.  The first few hours were pretty hectic... but then I got to feed the boy for the first time.  He has only been boob fed until now.  We have about 60-80 bags (our freezer is full of boob juice) ready f...
No F&*%kin Zipper Pajamas…Any Where?
This is something that really bothers me for some stupid reason.  Why is it nearly impossible to find newborn and infant pajamas with zippers.  What is the deal?  Zippers are way easier, faster, and look better.  So why would they do this to us.  I was at Kohl's today, and the Carters rep, just happened to be there.   The conversion went like this...

happy bottle times

Now that we got the little girl going to bed at a decent time… in a big girl bed, and sleeping all night long… the next thing is getting that damn bottle away form her.  For some reason, she has to have it at night and in the  morning.  I still haven’t gotten the balls to just take it away and let her cry… I am just super happy that she is going to bed without a fight.  We looked online for some super nanny 911 tricks, but so far have found no real winners.  There was one, that looked promising – give her a bottle with something that she hates in it…. and milk in her sippy cup.  I might try that tomorrow.

What do you do?  Any special tricks?

My Dad’s, Dad’s, Mom’s, Dad- My Great Great Grandpa

Posted By: newdadscliffnotes.com on October 24, 2009 in Family, Our Kids, Photos of the Kids - Comments: No Comments »

… that’s who Marley would say that she visited today.

One of the best things that a new dad can do for his kids is let them get to know their family… all of them, or at least as much as possible.

Today we went for a little visit to visit my Great Grandpa’s, that would be our daughter’s Great Great Grandpa.  Then we met up with the rest of the family for a little get togeather over at my parents house… they are all in town for a baby shower that the wife is having this weekend.  Anyway, just thought it was cool that there were five gernertions of us all one time.  There are not alot of people that can experience that.
