My son goes bonkers over this pacifier. We have tried only a couple of different pacifiers, and this is the one that keeps him happy. Apparently, most lactation consultants recommend this pacifier because it helps your baby practice good nursing habits such as keeping their tongue down. It’s the natural shape of a real… Continue Reading
Is reading to your newborn worth the time? It can be a battle just to keep them comfortable in your arms while you hold the book and turn its pages. Even if you manage to sit and read, its not like your baby is engrossed in the rising action or grasping the moral. Now I… Continue Reading
Our sister-in-law really came through when she introduced us to Weleda Calendula Diaper Care, AKA magic in a bottle. This stuff will knock out a diaper rash in a hurry and will also relieve irritation. For a cream to be any cooler you would have to make it an all natural product- which it is.… Continue Reading
Fisher-Price Newborn Rock ‘N Play This little crib wanna-be is a miracle worker. It is lightweight, travels well, and so far has been Owen’s primary bed. It slopes at about a 30 degree angle with mesh walls on the sides, making it safe and comfortable for the little guy. We didn’t start using the Rock… Continue Reading

I have little experience in using baby products and don’t have a budget to compare and contrast multiple products.… Continue Reading
Hopefully, we are the most evil and egocentric we will ever be as infants. Don’t let babies fool you. If they had the strength, they would kill you for their next meal if it didn’t come fast enough. They don’t understand relationships yet, they don’t understand cause and effect. They don’t recognize love as adults… Continue Reading
Andrea and I took Owen on his first trip out of town. We drove an hour and a half to visit my parents. Most of the family made it. It was great because there were some family members that met Owen for the first time. One of the coolest moments was snapping a picture of… Continue Reading
The Stay-At-Home Dad is going on its sixth month. The blog has already grown to more than whatever I thought possible. Several changes lie in store for the blog as I prepare to make the transition from work to home. In the upcoming weeks specific categories will be assigned to a designated day of the… Continue Reading
