Annie and I were recently chatting about all the different phases we have already experienced in parenthood from the moment we got pregnant to Sammy being four and a half months old. I’m actually blown away at how many phases can happen in such a short time. … [Read more...]
Connecting the Dots
I’m sure I’ve probably used this title before because I tend to be someone that…well…wants to connect the dots. One part of this dot connecting has to do with my brain realizing that this little boy we had a bit over four months ago is my son and nobody is coming to pick him up. … [Read more...]
The State of Our Union
Ever since we got pregnant, Annie and I talked endlessly about how we were going to raise this kid to be the most perfect human being on the planet. It was as if we knew all there was to know about parenting. Funny thing is…even if you knew it all the baby (or toddler or … [Read more...]
Sammy’s First Valentine’s Day
As you know, Sammy doesn’t care. Not because he doesn’t want to but he just doesn’t get it yet. He can’t even wipe his own butt so what can you expect? All that aside, my hope, our hope, is to teach this little dude that Holidays are great for what they represent but if you only … [Read more...]

Back to the Grind
Here we go! Annie started back to work full time yesterday (Monday), which leaves Sammy having to contend with my crazy antics during the days. The company Annie works for has been awesome, they are letting her cycle back into work mode by working from home two days a week and … [Read more...]
I Love My Husband
I love my husband. Yeah, yeah, maybe that's not new news to you all, but let me explain...this having a kid thing is kind of a big deal. It's a big deal because at some point, you have to get back to living your life and being a real human instead of a "parent of an infant" or … [Read more...]
Maybe Dad Isn’t an Idiot
Instead, maybe society has created man to be relatively worthless in the home raising the kids. I say this after reading a few articles this morning, starting with this one, “Mr. Mom, The Bumbling (Yet Elusive) Dad, Has Apparently Died”. I understand that back in the day the men … [Read more...]
Second Guessing Your Second Guesses
It’s an interesting thing to be a parent and even more interesting when you’re a first time parent to a newborn. No matter how much you read or how much advice you get, your baby is going to do some weird stuff that you did not see coming…at all. As the biased father of Sammy, I … [Read more...]
