(Another post about poop, so if you’re not so inclined, you can skip it and just read the last one about how much I love Henry.) On Sunday Kristen was knocked on her butt with a nasty stomach bug, so bad that it didn’t really improve and she stayed home from work yesterday. (I’m sure [...]
This is a sappy one today, so if you’re one who doesn’t like all the flowery, gooey stuff, just look at the pictures and be done with. Ready? This past weekend, after Henry woke up from a nap, Kristen and I made a baby sandwich, which means I held Henry in my arms, Kristen wrapped [...]
About three months ago I wrote a post outlining Henry’s disdain of bathing. For the longest time he despised everything to do with baths: the water, the soap, the washcloth. This was in sharp contrast to his father, who thinks that a nice, warm shower will cure any ills, and his mother, who thinks that [...]
It being a new year, Kristen and I decided it was again time to create a budget. This is a yearly event that, like the other standard January 1st tradition of making resolutions, is abandoned by early March. If we’re lucky to last that long. So as I added up mortgages and taxes and student [...]
A few clarifications and updates on previous posts. Yes, there’s a good chance we’re going to try and have a second child. Kristen and I love Henry, and even with all the “cons” out there, the “pros” definitely outweigh them and we’re leaning heavily toward making him a big brother. It’s just that I don’t [...]
I’ve already written about how I just love it when people tell me that I’m a bad father, and I’ve got another gripe, one that Kristen and I have been hearing a lot of lately. As you know, Henry is currently our only child. That may change (and we would, of course, keep you updated), [...]
On February 10 of last year (the new year being all of 21 hours old), I posted my first entry for Barnabas Monkeypants, announcing to the world (or, more likely, the 8 people who read this) that Kristen was pregnant. This is the 150th post on the blog, and I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve actually [...]
Henry is happiest when he's looking at or playing with or reading about cars and trucks and fire engines and bulldozers -- pretty much anything with wheels or that makes a loud, growly noise. This book has all that (and if you're a little nutty like me, you can add the sound effects).
