Workin’ It Out

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

(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 [...]

Odds and Ends

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

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 loveĀ  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 [...]

Mind Games

Monday, December 29th, 2008

I am loathe to admit it, but I’m a little superstitious. Every day I put my left sock on first, then my right, then my left shoe, and finally my right. Every day. I know that it doesn’t mean anything, that if I put the right sock on first, the world isn’t going to end, [...]

The Joker

Monday, December 15th, 2008

I love that Henry is a happy baby. He’s constantly smiling, hamming it up for one and all. I’ve heard horror stories from some parents about their babies being grumpy or crabby or angry or surly (or any of the other dwarves), and while our son has his moments with all these emotions (sometimes all [...]

In the Red

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Growing up, my grandmother would give my sister and me an allowance each week, a wonderful thing considering we had to do absolutely nothing to receive the cash. It started out as $2 and, by the time we hit high school, it was $5. With that bounty, my sister bought Led Zeppelin albums; I bought [...]

Parenting Advice From a Madman

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Every parent thinks that their baby is not just cute, but the cutest kid on the planet. And that’s completely justified. I mean, when Kristen and I first saw Henry, all red and crying and covered in his own poop, we fell madly in love with him and immediately proclaimed him the most amazing thing [...]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

A couple of odds and ends today. Our diaper of choice is Pampers. Actually, we haven’t tried any other brand, but we’re happy with them. In fact, I’m sure that all diapers are equally good, equally absorbent (amazingly absorbent, actually). Have you ever felt a diaper completely saturated with urine? As heavy as they get [...]

Number One Fan

Monday, October 6th, 2008

A few exciting things happened this weekend. First off, we had our first overnight guest since Henry was born. Kristen’s father graced us with his presence and was immediately smitten with our son (who my sister is now referring to as Prince Henry, a name that certainly fits). The thing is, Henry knows how to [...]
