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...
What to Bring to the Hospital
Posted By: newdadscliffnotes.com on January 14, 2010 in Stuff Dads Must Have, Uncategorized - Comments: 1 Comment »
When she says that its time to go… you need to be ready. Have the bags packed in advance if possible
Here is a list of things that you should bring. Now, this is the list of stuff for you to bring… most women will have a suitcase full of stuff that they want to have, just make sure that your lady packs her bag well in advance.
This is a list of the stuff that I packed in my hospital bag
- Change of clothes- if the labor takes a long time or there are any complications, you might be there for a while. Also bring something comfortable to sleep in
- Toothbrush and toothpaste for everybody
- Some games to keep you busy in down time- I brought cribbage, travel scrabble and some cards
- Books or Magazines
- iPod and speakers- my wife really liked having music during labor
- DVD’s and Player
- Snacks- Power Bars and trail mix, and gum for nasty breath
- Aspirin or something for headaches
- MOST IMPORTANT!!!- Cameras, film, batteries, if you forget this… your dead!
Also remember to make sure that your lady has all her stuff packed and ready, and be sure to have some stuff for the new baby as well. Like their fist little outfits, pacifiers, receiving blankets etc.
- When your at the hospital, remember to loot the place. Take everything that you can get your hands on… you are paying for it!
- Don’t forget to have the Car Seat installed properly before you get to the hospital- they wont even let you take the baby home if its not installed right.
