Welcome to One Funny Daddy! (Please click on my last entry titled “Let Me Introduce Myself” to learn a little bit about the site.) What better day to launch 1FD!? I can’t tell you how thankful I am that you’re reading this! Again, THANK YOU! You people were the inspiration for starting 1FD. For nearly the last 18 months, we’ve been trading stories and advice about the roller coaster ride that is pregnancy and becoming a parent. All your words of wisdom brought me through the most stressful and exhausting days. When I wanted to cry, you made me laugh. And now, I hope to return the favor.

I didn’t even really know what blogging was until about three weeks ago. Technically, you could say I have almost no clue what I’m doing. The most exciting thing is waiting to see what this evolves into! As a proud new Papa (with the mind of an 8 year old), each day writes itself. I’m watching my kid develop into a little person. Everything is new to me, just as it is for him. I stare at Jake like he stares at the wooden spoon he’s holding for the first time ever. That’s what SO amazing to me! Everything that we do is for the first time…EVER!

Before I was a Dad, every time my friends talked about their kids, I wanted to stick my finger down my throat. Now I can say, being a parent is… the coolest thing ever! And just as the blog, being a Dad is a work in progress. I’ve learned to depend on you wonderful peeps. I really hope you stick with me!

Alright, enough kissing your asses, I’m going to enjoy my FIRST FATHER’S DAY EVER!!!
