What I Thought About Baby Baby Baby

Main

(12-22-10) I think it's nice that, despite all the rushing around the week before Christmas, Kayla still found time to continue her tradition of Blow-Out Diaper Wednesday Night With Daddy.

(10-19-10) I think it's never a good sign when I'm downstairs working and I can hear Kayla...ummm...make a diaper upstairs. Especially when it's followed by Tammy laughing and yelling for help. Yikes.

(10-08-10) I think I'm pretty sure Katelyn just harmonized with Tammy's singing of "The Burpie Song", which was recently written for Kayla.

(10-05-10) I think I'm starting to think that we can handle this two kids thing...family dinner at Moe's went pretty smoothly!

(09-27-10) I think that whoever came up with the CTRL-ALT-DEL combination obviously never typed with one hand while holding a baby in the other arm.

(08-31-10) I think when you're changing a dirty diaper, and your child tells you she has chocolate on her hands....well, nothing good can come from that.

(08-21-10) I think we've taken Katelyn's temperature with two different types of thermometers the last few days while she's been sick...she greatly prefers the, in her words, "ear-mometer" to the "bottom-mometer".

(07-31-10) I think Katelyn complained this morning that we had the TV up too loud last night. I am SO going to remember this when she's a teenager blasting music in her room...

(07-22-10) I think this afternoon, while Tammy and I were napping on the bed while Katelyn was next to us watching TV, Katelyn asked me, "Is it fun sleeping with Mommy?" I was laughing so hard I couldn't even decide on a witty response.

(04-25-10) I think uh oh, busted...Katelyn finally realized that I've only been sharing the crust of my Pop Tarts with her. Now she wants the "colored" part...

(03-11-10) I think I may need to lose some weight. Tonight when Katelyn was saying her bedtime prayers, she prayed for "the baby inside Mommy's tummy". Then she walked over to me, put her hands on my stomach, and started to also pray for the baby inside Daddy's tummy.

(03-05-10) I think nothing quite like plastic pizza from the play kitchen while rocking out to Veggietales. And I'm pretty sure I still have a barrette in my hair.

(02-16-10) I think video baby monitors are probably one of those things that once you've used one, you can't go back.

(08-29-09) I think I fondly remember the old days of having to set an alarm to make sure I didn't sleep too late and miss the kickoff of the 11:30 game on Saturdays. Sadly, Katelyn will make sure that this will not be a problem this year.

(07-16-09) I think I tried out the child lock on the dishwasher tonight (little hands love pressing the buttons that light up) for the first time, which my 18 month-old daughter walked up to and immediately unlocked. Either the good people at GE didn't try very hard, or Katelyn is a genius.

(04-14-09) I think that sometimes Katelyn and Angel compete to see who can leave their toys in the weirdest places.

(04-01-09) I think it's really gross when you're eating cereal with one spoon and feeding your daughter baby food green beans with another spoon and then you get the spoons mixed up.

(01-27-09) I think if Katelyn continues to get as excited about eating regular loaf bread as she does now, this kid will be cheap to feed for a long time.

(01-26-09) I think I hope that Katelyn's recent new toys aren't teaching her bad lessons, such as knocking over penguins and stuffing plastic balls into a giraffe's mouth. Otherwise we may have an eventful trip to the zoo.

(01-04-09) I think I am pumped to not have to buy formula anymore! (for Katelyn, not me...I've been off the stuff for a while)

(12-27-08) I think the people who design the packaging for toys are mean little trolls who can't stand children or their parents.

(08-03-08) I think that, in light of the fact that the rights to the first pictures of the Pitt-Jolie twins sold for $14 million, we will accept $7 million for as many pictures of Katelyn as you want. We'll only charge half as much as they did since there's only one of her.

(07-26-08) I think you can have all the fancy toys you want, but Katelyn is most entertained right now by burp cloths or blankets. You can play peek-a-boo with them, dangle them above her to tickle her and have her reach out for them, or play the classic "Where's Katelyn" game.

(06-26-08) I think you don't fully appreciate what a good job the Diaper Champ does until you have to empty it. Yikes.

(04-17-08) I think Tammy has somehow ingeniously trained Katelyn to save all of her dirty diapers until I get home and am changing her.

(03-24-08) I think I'd like to exchange a few words with the monster who designed an infant dress with tiny buttons (not snaps) on the BACK of a dress. Clearly, this person has never been at all involved in putting the dress on an actual infant.

(03-19-08) I think Angel is getting more obvious about her jealousy of Katelyn...tonight, while I was giving the baby a bottle, the dog went and got and dropped three different toys in my lap.

(02-19-08) I think that Angel decided the best way she could help me settle down Katelyn yesterday was for her to stick her tongue up my nose while I was distracted by the baby. They're teaming up on me!

(01-27-08) I think I must be campaigning for Dad of the Year or something...I ran some errands this afternoon, and I spent more time in Babies R Us than in Lowe's.

(01-21-08) I think the stories people tell about their kids peeing on them while they're changing their diaper are all really funny until it happens to you.

(01-19-08) I think if someone invented a small robot whose sole function was to put a pacifier back in a baby's mouth, I would be willing to pay a lot of money for it.

(01-14-08) I think that apparently there is still a 3 AM...I had been under the impression that it got canceled back around 2000 when I graduated college.

(01-11-08) I think I would like to take this opportunity to announce my retirement from the world of blow-out diaper changing.

(01-09-08) I think it will be cool when Katelyn can say "I'm hungry" instead of screaming until she turns blue.

(01-09-08) I think there's tired, there's exhausted, and then there's the day after your first baby is born.

(01-08-08) I think we have Katelyn pictures online here.

(01-03-08) I think if Katelyn doesn't come earlier, we are inducing on Monday the 7th!

(11-18-07) I think that when your wife asks that you not use a certain picture of her pregnant on your website because she says it makes her look huge, the correct response is NOT to ask which one.

(08-23-07) I think it's a girl!

(08-02-07) I think it's a little scary that I just made a six-month dental appointment that I will be a dad by the time I go to it!
