So dad was lounging around watching a little TV, the boy was running around doing a good job staying out of trouble, when Nate decided he’s come back into the living room. Give me a mischevous grin, and say “HI!” The first or second time I didn’t quite catch it, since there have been several [...]
So in retrospect I’ve decided that this being a dad thing just isn’t my bag and we’ve decided to sell Nathan on eBay. All bidders welcome.
Whew! What a long time since our last entry. Nathan has been growing leaps and bounds and his skills keep increasing each and every day.
Because Nathan is now able to roll over onto his tummy his arm and leg strength is increasing. Just this morning he for a split second held his body [...]
So we were sitting around eating dinner. Angie had already impressed me earlier with what she’d learned from the boy. Previously we’d prop him on top of the google(boppy baby pillow) to raise his head a little bit so he could play with some of the kick gyms. Angie took the pillow away and let [...]
These days there seems to be no end sometimes of the number of ‘firsts’ that occur. Every morning I go into the bedroom to say goodbye for the day to Angie and Nathan. This morning was no different except as I started to come into the room, Angie was nursing Nathan and said that this [...]
I’m starting to get the sense that things are ’settling down.’ Nathan’s having more moments of being alert and not complaining.

Growing up people imagine what it might be like to procreate and be responsible for a small human being. “I would never do that with MY child!” are thoughts remarked to fellow childless cohorts as we gesture toward the mother/father and how they’re handling they’re little bundle of joy as we meander down the street. [...]
When Angie and I started our childbirth/childcare class 7 weeks ago we realized that once it was finished, roughly 3 weeks or so would remain before the boy arrived. Well…that last class was last night. And we’re feeling like we’re relatively ready. Bags are packed, I took a little time last night putting the car [...]
Do you ever have those days where you pseudo imagine that your in a James Bond film, you’ve just sabotaged the ‘underground lair’ and on mad rush to get out of the facility a monotone voice comes in rythmically over the loudspeaker to annouce the time remaining before everything EXPLODES!!?!?!
This is giving too much away [...]
