This is the Baby Soother App (it comes for the iPhone & the iPad). It doesn’t really do much, especially the free version. If you just get the free version, you see a minimally-animated screen of penguins waddling around, and a couple cheesy nursery rhymes that sound like old midi files that rotate through in the […]
The Best Dodgeball Balls for Babies to Play With
A few months ago, I was getting some new balls for our youth group’s game of Scatterball (something that is very close to dodgeball) and after a bunch of research, I ended up getting a set of Rhino Skin Dodgeballs. They ended up being perfect for our game (perfect size, weight, texture…everything), but what I […]
Don’t Cut Wet Hair in the Bath
Don’t cut wet hair in the bath? No one ever told me that? Oh, wait. Yes. Someone did. My wife. About 1 minute before I cut Caleb’s wet hair in the bath. And instantly, within a split second, my super cute boy with super cute long, blond hair (photo on left on his birthday), became…well, […]
Hulabye: A Huge Help with Wriggly Babies and Diaper Changes
A few weeks ago I posted about how Caleb was no longer a fan of having his diaper changed and lying on his back. It was no fun for him. It was no fun at all for us. And for a few days, I was thinking “THIS IS HOW IT’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE! SAVE […]
Caleb’s First Birthday
It’s a little crazy to me that Caleb is already a 1 year old! He surprised us by starting to walk on Christmas, and by the day after Christmas, just wouldn’t stop walking. It presents a whole new world, both for Caleb and for his parents (as I’m sure you can imagine), but it’s also […]
Caleb Is Almost 1: Now What About That Bottle?
In case you hadn’t seen the recent video, Caleb is a walker. Like, seriously. He won’t stop walking. He started taking a few more steps on Christmas morning, and then kept getting better and better during the day after Christmas, and now he’s a pro. It’s weird. Sarah keeps walking around the house saying, “Where’s […]
Sharing a Moment with Caleb
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, and I think most of that has to do with how busy our lives have been. Caleb is 11 months old now, continues to grow, to gain more and more curiosity about the world, to get faster and faster with his crawling and steadier and steadier on his feet. […]
My Boy Keeps Growing Up
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a new video of Caleb…it’s amazing how quickly he continues to grow up. And there is nothing I can do to stop that. The funny thing is, when you have a baby, the thing that I feel like everyone says to you most often is “It will go by […]
Baby Advice from Strangers
Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, you need to go over to McSweeney’s and read “Hello Stranger on the Street, Could You Please Tell Me How to Take Care of My Baby?” Okay. Did you read it yet? I wasn’t joking. Go read it. One of my favorite paragraphs from the article is […]
Caleb’s Evolution of Eating and My Annoyance with Messy Babies
A few days ago, Caleb decided he didn’t want to eat from his spoon anymore. … That was awesome. He had been doing great while we were on vacation, and was eating a ton. And then, a couple days after getting back, he just started crying, fussing and really not wanting to eat any of […]
