  • Spaghetti Hair

    —

    in

    Okay, this just might be with my kids in my home, but I have a feeling this isn’t isolated, so I throw this question out to you:  Why do kids want to put spaghetti in their hair and on top of their heads?!  At least for me, this seems to be the only food that…

  • Evolution of the Diaper Change

    in

    I was changing my daughter’s diaper this evening, just like any parent with a young infant would be doing when it dawned on me.  A process, which should be evolving towards eventual potty training and the disappearance of the diaper, has become something similar to a dance or a wrestling match between myself and the…

  • iPhone Baby

    I have had the WordPress App on my iPhone forever now and have never attempted to create a post from it, never had come upon a reason I couldn’t wait until I got to my laptop. Well partially out of boredom and curiosity I found an excuse to create a post. I’ve posted about my…

  • iPhones and infants

    in

    I’ve realized that there is a growing demand for information for apps for what I’m calling iPhone Babies. I’m in the process of testing other apps with my baby girl (but Peekaboo Barn is still the take all home run).  What I’m looking for are suggestions for apps.  What does your baby enjoy, what gets…

    Last night, a Lexington Police officer was killed in the line of duty by a hit and run while he was investigating a call.  He was 27 and a father.  It’s a sad and tragic story that has been on the news all morning. [news article]  Even though I had already processed the story, thought…

  • A Geek as a Father: Undermining the Imagination?

    —

    in

    With the weather finally starting to warm up and thinking back to how the kids were last year, I’m beginning to wonder if I do more damage than good.  I’ll admit that I enjoy electronic toys, if I had more money I’d probably have more, heck I’m even considering getting an iPad, and its partially…

  • Bug’s First Valentine’s Day

    in

    Well my Bug’s first Valentine’s Day has come and gone, and although it went off without too much happening, it was a good day.  With only being 9 months old, I didn’t see the option of getting Abby very much beyond just a big ole stuffed animal, which seemed to be the mistake.  I got…
