Remember a few days ago when I called Jake “The Beaver Boy” (stop what you’re thinking) because he’s been chewing up his crib rails? We found the answer! No, not a Hannibal Lecter mask, the Leachco Easy Teether! 

He can gnaw and slobber until his heart’s content now, because it’s on 100% organic cotton with cool baby toys in reach! Check it out! I chewed on it myself. Delicious!!!

Not my child….

JAKE 365!!! Only 100 more days left until I compile all 365 posts from 1FD and my Facebook Page and turn them into a book for my baby boy! It’s still fun since day one! We have taken over 1,000 pics and hours of video.

Friends of ours (no, not the mafia) turned us on to a website mypublisher.com. They made a beautiful baby book for their daughter! You should really check out the site. I can not wait to put this all together and read the story from day one!

What up dawg!?

Jake’s growing faster than Lindsay Lohan’s rap-sheet. So, I’ve been starting to research new car seats. I think I’m digging the GRACO NAUTILUS 3 in 1 seat. 

When Jake was first born, the wife and I swore that we would not alter our routine in ANYWAY because there was a baby in the house. Nearly 9 months later, we tip-toe around the house, whispering to each other when he’s asleep like we’re afraid of waking God himself from his nap.

It’s absolutely true. All things revolve around your baby’s sleep schedule. If you say they don’t, you’re lying!!!:)

Yeah, I’m fine right now. Leave me alone.

Alright I’m tired now people. Let’s move it!!!

Reflecting back on yesterday’s experience with Jake (which really wasn’t that bad, it just involved a LOT of crying), I have to see it as a success. I know that with a small change of routine, he will start to get used to me being a source of comfort in the “going to sleep department”. He’s used to Mommy giving him the magic booby just before bedtime. Now daddy’s giving me a bottle!? WTF!? Where’s magic booby?

I have to tell you though, I have stood in burning buildings, lived through a tornado, and dove out of airplanes. But that feeling of helplessness when you can’t comfort your kid is more stressful than all three of those combined!

I know that it’s just a matter of time and practice. Things will only get easier. But for now, I think I’m going to have to start dying my hair!:)

Me at 8pm last night:)

You should’ve put me to bed when I yawned the FIRST time butt-hole! Now you’re gonna pay!

A few of you have asked how my first day alone with Jake is going? In regards to the first half of the day, I’d say “absolutely splendid”. As far as the second half is concerned, I’d say “WE’RE GETTING A F*@KING NANNY!”:)

What’s a dollar dance?

Tomorrow is Mama’s first day back to work. I feel like it’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! We have SO MUCH guy stuff to do. I don’t even know where to start!?! Should we go fishing? A baseball game? Should I take Jake to a strip joint? I might be a bit overzealous, seeing that he’s only awake for two hours at a time. I just hope he makes it through dollar dances!!!:)

Jake had the privilege of seeing his Great-Great Gwamma again! In a few months, he gets to celebrate his first birthday, and she will be celebrating her 100th!!! Party time!!!

Today, at a local fair, Jake was absolutely mesmerized by this chicken that wouldn’t stop “laughing”! The bird honestly sounded like an old lady cackling! Meanwhile, I was amazed at the size of the blue-ribbon winning rooster just a few cages away. What a huge cock! WAIT! That didn’t sound right…

WTF am I looking at???

Still no clue. Is this a woof-woof? Woof-woof’s don’t laugh???

Funny chicky!!!

This kid has a newly restored lust for life! He does not want to sleep! Check it out! This is on essentially no nappy time today…
