We just returned from Matteo’s 2nd-month visit with the pediatrician. Okay, I mentioned previously that Matteo has been wearing a few 6-month outfits, and now we know why. Our little 7-week gordito measured in at 24 inches in length and weighed in at 13.4 lbs. To put this into perspective, he is on the 95% [...]

Men can be great stay-at-home parents, too
One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing someone, usually that person is female, comment that I am doing my “wife” a huge favor by “babysitting” my children. First of all, why on Earth would anyone suggest that men babysit their children? Secondly, no one ever makes the “giving-dad-a-day-off” comment to women. I won’t even [...]
Dinner with mommy Sara
Last night, we had dinner with mommy Sara. We were so excited, and perhaps a bit nervous to see her. After all, we had not seen her since that first week after she left the hospital. Granted, we text/email about once weekly, but it is not the same. We waited about 20 minutes for the [...]
Mommy Sara
Mike, the boys and I are having dinner with mommy Sara on Saturday night. Since leaving the hospital, we have not seen her, but we text each other about once weekly or at least every other week. We are very excited, and cannot wait to see her. Sara is someone who initially did not want [...]
“Don’t worry. I promise.”
The other evening we went to Alec’s house to play. We arrived with burritos in hand, got through the initial jealous behavior – when we get together at each other’s houses, the hosting boy gets a bit jealous and/or possessive – it was Alec’s turn. Fortunately, the boys are such good friends that the behavior [...]

Whose party is it anyway?
One month before we brought Christopher home, our friends, Kai, Michael and Rainey (pronounced Rene) threw a baby shower. Though the shower took place long before we knew about Christopher, we knew our baby was coming home soon. Almost exactly one month later, Christopher came home. When Matteo was born, we had very little time [...]
“Poop”
The beauty of potty training is that you never know “when”. We used to be able to guess “when” because Christopher would go hide and quietly do his business. Recently, he has started telling us “poop” when either he needs to go or has already gone. Okay, 50/50 isn’t bad, until today. At the end [...]
