Rory has a big head, like 90th percentile size head. It doesn’t look abnormally large—he is like 85th percentile for height too so he doesn’t look like an orange on a toothpick—but it is a big head. Sometimes that head gets a little over his skis and BOOM, Rory goes bonk bonk. To be honest,Continue reading “Bonk Bonk”

37
This post is a little late but, you know, kids ruin all semblance of free time in your life. When they do finally stop moving and fall asleep, you frantically try to clean up the messes they’ve been making for the last few hours, catch up on other chores, shovel food into your mouth, thenContinue reading “37”
Uhhh…
My son may have eaten poop today. It was his own poop, so that’s not as bad as eating someone else’s poop, but I think he ate poop. How do you look at your son the same after (allegedly) eating poop? So here’s what happened. Rory went down for a nap around 2:30. He’s beenContinue reading “Uhhh…”
Review: The Best Disney Movie
Look, we aren’t bad parents. I promise. But we did name our TV Rory’s babysitter and Rory does get plenty of TV time. He loves Daniel Tiger more than he loves either of us. And, to be frank, we are so damn bored that we watch plenty of movies when he’s playing. To all thoseContinue reading “Review: The Best Disney Movie”
Two
Two kids is harder than one. I mean, it sounds obvious, but it’s also incredibly not obvious until you have a second kid. It’s hard! Maybe we didn’t make a great choice having our kids so close together (less than 15 months apart) but, you know, we are fertile people. What can we do? RoryContinue reading “Two”
Lucy!
We had a baby last week! We were not supposed to have a baby last week, but we did! She’s here, she’s healthy, and she’s great. But, it wasn’t quite as easy as it sounded. Lisa woke up on the 23rd with some pains in her stomach, which we both assumed were labor pains. Then,Continue reading “Lucy!”
I’m Back!
Yes, I have returned. Please quietly rejoice to yourselves. OK that was enough. No, no put your pants back on. It’s not that kind of party. I have been away for too long but I was finishing my masters and thus any time I had to write, I felt like I should be writing myContinue reading “I’m Back!”
Da-Da
Rory has been a blabbermouth for a few months now, constantly making what we call dolphin noises. “Ah-ah-ah” over and over again. From bed, we can say “ah” to him in the mornings when he’s awake but still in his crib and he responds with an “ah” back to use. It’s adorable. That is theContinue reading “Da-Da”
Daylight Sucks Time
I’ve heard for years from other parents about how Daylight Savings Time sucks. It’s not that I didn’t believe them, I just had no point of reference to truly understand how it affects children. It’s like when someone says how much running a marathon (or any distance really) sucks. I mean, I am sure itContinue reading “Daylight Sucks Time”
Poop
Yesterday, my son could not poop. He’s never been a consistent pooper—usually every 3-4 days—but it’s never been a huge issue before. He will have what we call a poop ball (a small, round, hard-ish poop) then usually a blowout within 24 hours. However, yesterday was a different story. He was on about day fiveContinue reading “Poop”
