I totally thought Jake’s first words were going to be that magical combo I’ve been waiting to hear, “DA-DA”! He started out on a nice roll of “Duh, dah, dah, duh, DA, DA”….I’m waiting, wide eyed with excitement, put it together buddy, you can do it! Just then he goes on a rant! “DA DA”, and then something that sounded like “DAVID HASSELHOFF!” I refuse to believe that’s what he said. Maybe tomorrow…
I think Jake has discovered his “bits and pieces”. Every time we change his diaper, he grabs his nuts more than Eminem! Again, I’m starting to see how some habits develop at an early age:)
Good morning! It’s an especially beautiful one because I’m patenting my first invention today! It’s a type of clock that operates in a new time zone, Standard Parent With Baby Zone, or SPWBZ. It automatically sets itself 3 hours fast, otherwise, YOU WILL NEVER BE ON TIME FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN!
Mama J and I are actually becoming fairly efficient at getting Baby J up and ready in a timely fashion. But I’m sure you all know, the first rule of Baby Club is… No, not “We don’t talk about Baby Club”. It is “NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY!” Life still somewhat revolves around the baby’s sleeping routine. That’s just the way it is. Why take him to go see ‘Hangover 2’ at 6:30pm, if I know he’s going to be spitting and shitting hot fire in another hour. So, baby goes nite nite, and I wait for the DVD.
But I’m not complaining. Every time this munchkin wakes up smiling, I feel as though it’s all worth it. Have a great weekend peeps! And thanks for spreading the word of 1FD!!!
Hey Parents! Do you slather your kid in sunscreen but forget to protect their peepers? Check out these high quality, cool looking shades that actually stay on! And stay tuned for 1FD’s first product giveaway!
You know those three days worth of sweet potatoes we fed Jake, but didn’t know if he actually swallowed any? He answered that question…by taking an explosive, sweet potato-packed DONKEY CRAP! I think he may have actually lost a pound! Which got me thinking, I need to eat more sweet potatoes!
I’m not a huge fan of the teething process thus far. I know, it could always be worse. But I think I’ve figured out to way to bypass teething entirely! DENTURES! Why let Jake suffer through the agonizing weeks of sprouting his own toofers, when he can have beautiful full-sized set of choppers installed right now!? And hey, I’m a cool dad. I’ll even spring for a gold and diamond plated grill (see photo), just as long as Jake understands that he’ll have to skip college and become a rap star!
The introduction to solid food continues! So far, Jake is like a little baby “food processor”. Food goes in, and gets spat back out in a different form. But this food processor also transfers the food to the high chair, the floor, the walls, your hair, everywhere!
I think Jake is really starting to discover his voice. Now when he wakes from a nap, he let’s the entire house know he’s awake and ready for immediate attention!!! It’s hard to describe the noises that come from that little demon. Have you ever seen the barn scene in The Exorcism of Emily Rose? He sounds like he’s speaking a foreign language mixed with some grunting and spitting. It’s terrifying if you don’t know what you’re listening to.
You people are amazing! The response to the site has been awesome, and it’s only day 2! Not to mention the Facebook and Twitter pages. I can’t say thank you enough! Let’s keep it going!
I joke that I feel like a blind man having sex for the first time. The toughest part is figuring out where to put everything! 🙂 I was used to just posting the ‘Jake 365’ dailies on my personal FB page. Now there’s the website, 1FD Facebook page, AND Twitter! It’s crazy! But again, it’s only day 2. I’ll figure it all out.
So! My first Father’s Day was very cool. It felt a lot like a birthday. Everyone was nice to me. I got to do whatever I wanted. I received some cards and a book I’ve been wanting to read, ‘The 4-Hour Body’ by Timothy Ferris www.fourhourbody.com. I saw him on TV (Ok, it was Rachel Ray) talking about people dropping 20 lbs in 30 days by making a few changes. The 4 hours was the amount of time they spent in the gym in that month. I figured I’d check it out. Right now it takes me 4 hours just to wash my body. I’ll take all the help I can get:)
I know there’s so much more meaning to Father’s Day than gifts, but it always intrigues me to hear what kind of gifts Dad got? It cracks me up that no matter how horrible you might think another Dad’s gift is, they talk about it like it’s the greatest thing EVER! Like…”My son made me a paper mache ashtray in art class! I don’t smoke, and I can never use it, but isn’t it great!?”
So let’s hear it! I want to know what was the absolute worst Father’s day gift you or someone you know has received?
