Lazy Days..
Today I got bored for this first time. And it’s my fault really. I think Lindsey being here for half of the day yesterday made me get out of my routine. I was more tired than usual so I took a little power nap during Jackson’s nap time. There was a lot I probably could…

Snowly, Disappointed.
Today was completely out of whack and started a lot earlier than expected. Two in the morning to be exact. Jackson woke me up by yelling and standing in his play pen. Not crying mind you. Just yelling. Mama! Papa! Hello! Bye Bye! We had him in our room last night because his cold returned…

“Uh Oh.. I did it.”
Well I’m getting back into the swing of things today, and nothing out of the ordinary. I will say however that over the weekend Jackson started doing some funny things. I have an iPod Touch and usually I have been safe to just keep it laying around as it auto locks. However, with a little…

Looking Back on Week 1
It’s Friday, and I’m about an hour or so from completing my first week on the job as a Stay at Home Dad with a newly adopted child whose world had been rocked in so many ways since we took him out of the orphanage nearly two months ago. Today was our first official outing,…

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Fuss. How I Wonder Why you Pout?
Jackson is a bit fussy today. I usually wake him up at three, but I’m going to let him sleep a little longer and see what happens. During “learning time” today I was showing him a few YouTube videos I found like the numbers song and the alphabet. Well, one of the suggested videos was…

“Change of Plans”
Typical day today. Jackson is surprising me everyday with words that he understands and knows, even though he is not speaking them yet. For instance today he easily pointed out his head to me, when I thought he only knew his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. And he’s doing really well with flashcards. He has…

You know I’ve never felt like this before..
I survived another day. Although there is still a couple of hours left before Lindsey comes home, so anything is possible. Today was a little rougher than yesterday. Jackson is a little cranky today. He didn’t sleep that good last night. He kept waking up coughing from his cold so we put him back in…

Day 1: Orientation
Today I survived Day One. A day marked with rice crispies being knocked off the table, water spilled all over the table, and two random diaper blow-outs. Welcome to the life of a Stay at Home Papa. Thankfully for me, I had a complete schedule written out for my first day. It was busy, it…

From Number Cruncher to Sandwich Maker. Here’s to 2011.
Though the news has made its rounds on Facebook and to some family and friends, I guess this will count as my blog’s official announcement that I will be putting away the dress clothes, putting on an apron in its place, and becoming a Stay at Home Dad! I didn’t get laid off or anything…
