Fatherhood Quote - Kent Nerburn

This is a very poignant quote that captures a father’s love for his child, and comments on the difficulty of balancing one’s attempts to be an ideal role model and provider in spite of being human.
Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates […]

‘Amazing’ baby

My son is only five months old, yet he has consistently amazed me since minute one.
I’m amazed by how quickly he changes and how much he learns every day. I’m amazed at how cute he is and how he keeps me constantly moving and adjusting my lifestyle. I’m amazed by how much power his smile […]

Huskies and babies

I doubt the feasibility of creating a much cuter combination in this world than that of a baby and a dog. (Especially my baby and my dog!) They are two creatures of such good nature that you can’t help but smile in their individual presences. Put the two together and you just want to hug […]

Math flash cards for babies

I’ll just come out with it and say that, frankly, I think my baby is a genius. His spit bubbles are very advanced and his jibberish is the most eloquent I’ve ever heard. In all seriousness, my wife and I have noticed how intently he absorbs his environment, how his eyes trace over new objects […]

Baby Cakes

You can find some very interesting things on YouTube. This very talented cake maker takes you through the process of making a sculpted, 3-d cake in the shape of a baby. It’s quite a complicated and very well-executed… which says nothing for how creepy it would be to eat a cake in the shape of […]

How to make homemade teething aids

Our little one is currently undergoing the discomfort of teething. As much as he wants to smile and be happy, his little gums are driving him a little batty. He drools so much he could easily pass for a classical landscaping fountain and looks for anything to chew on.
