How's your day?

This is mine. Worst mischief night prank ever. Why didn't they hit the lights? I would have.

Things are better everyday.

One of the most difficult things about becoming a parent is the unknown. It's fightening to not know what you are doing and be given someone who you love and care about and is entirely dependent on you. The first 2 months were hell. Absolute hell. Being so tired you couldn't do anything and little by little it gets better. I am amazed at how much Milo grows everyday. He's such a joy to look at. He's starting to figure out how to get around. He loves crawling but i think he'll be walking rather soon. Even sooner if we had a coffee table. MMM coffee i think i will make some while he's sleeping. It's nice.

Out with the old

I tried something different last night. Knowing that we will change the clocks and Milo can't tell time. I figure he will now be waking up around 4:45- 5:30 am. This sucks as I am on the brink of not being able to function and adding another hour seems like death. Milo is a great sleeper. He's out from 6pm to around 5:30 6 am. I figure if i wake him up before I go to bed, maybe this will buy an extra hour in the morning. I woke him up last night and gave him half a bottle and a new diaper. He slept until 6:45. I know this becausenow i wake up at 6 no matter what. I believe he will sleep later if i wake him up in the middle of the night. I will still have to worry about myself waking at an early time. Arrg. You can never win.

The little things

Today Milo and I sat downtown and ate a pretzel together. I had most of it, but he was really into it. He's not much of a chewer, but he gummed them down really well. I was impressed. He was trying to be a baby and wanted me to feed him. I refused to give in then he started using his hands. It was such a nice time.

How about them Nipples?

Ok..... I hope this posts. Milo and I went to the Babies R us to get some of his special pacifiers. He's been chucking them on ourwalks like they are out of style. We've been running low for awhile and I have been on the look out for them on the sidewalks in town. I guess that is the daddy equivilent of the meth addicts in town looking for cigarette butts.

( this is called sardine fishing. Where people (usually junkies) look on the ground for cigarette butts to smoke. THE MORE YOU KNOW.)

I have hooked one or two sardines in my day. Just boil them up and they are as good as new. Having the supply of pacifiers running low we headed off to the babies r us. WARNING: BAD DADDY PLACE. TOO MUCH JUNK. BETWEEN MOTHERS TO BE DADDIES TO BE THE SALESPEOPLE PHOTOGRAPHER AND WORSE THE SOON TO BE GRADMAS IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING. We rushed in went to the aisle with the pacifiers narrowly escaping the baby registry. In line we were behind a lady with her baby. I recognized this lady, but couldn't figure out where i knew her. I tried to do the brain scan subtracting a few years, it hit me. She was in the breast feeding class amy and i were in. She already had a baby, but failed at breast feeding. So she was in this class all bragging about how she had a baby but sucked at breast feeding. Anyway, I was trying to figure out how to talk to her. I can't really ask about her sore nipples, which is the only thing i really know about her. This was very perplexing. Any suggestions??????

Can i post This?

Will it work?

Dads can't quit

This week has been very hectic. That trip to the beach was well worth it, but i have been paying the price for a week now. Milo has been napping better so i should be able to get some rest but i blog. I really do not understand why, but i do. I will get my brain back sometime....maybe?

Oh dear god

I am having one of those days..... Up at 5 milo is sleepy. I need to focus on one thing Can it get done? I don't know. Let me call someone wake them up. Show you how it feels. Yarrgh. we went to the beach it was so worth it. If i figure out how to post video look out.

Milo has made me tired

This has been the worst week sleep wise. The people at the supermarket where happy to see me again. Milo makes me tired i shall now relax with a ginger beer while Milo naps. Nice.

Milo naps

I have been working on getting Milo to take naps at a scheduled time. He's not down with that yet. He loves yelling. I hope he starts so i can finish things up around here.

Today

Milo decieded that 3:30 am was a great time to be screaming. I was walking around town before the sun came up. YAR!

Poop squeals

This falls into the catagory of the things you are never told. When a baby gets on solid food. They start having real poop. This scares the Sh#t back into them. They start with the normal "erugh" noise followed by the immediate "yaaahhh" of pain. This I call a poop squeal. It's funny to me. Not so much for milo. Yesterday i thought Milo needed some prune juice. We did not have any. I should have bought some. Milo went without. He was fussy all day, but we figured it was from his shots and the fever that followed. He was up last night. Amy and i were taking turns getting up with him. Amy's turn 5am. She yells for me. I go in she's freaking out. Milo has got too much poop and it's hurting him. Amy asks if we should take him to the hospital.

What would you say? My baby has POOP coming out of his butt!!! NO NO NO NO you don't understand he has POOP coming out of his butt!!!!

Milo finally went with some relaxation help from me.
