Time flies… so fast.
Tempus fugit. It’s a Latin expression that means “time flies.” I first heard this expression from my dad, who is Yale-graduate-level learned. I was a just a teen, so I had to either assume he’d freakishly sneezed or ask him what it meant. Tempus has been vigorously fugitting since I was a lad, so Googling […]
What if Apple made baby products?
Apple would do a great job making baby products. Heck, some babies are already so familiar with iPads, iPhones and iPods that they’ll try to swipe pictures in books and magazines to change them. People generally love the understated minimalism of their style and the overstated maximalism of their features. Attractive attributes to anyone, but […]
Diaper Change Threat Condition & Awareness Chart
Some consider that one of the top rules of good parenting is preparedness. But those people are either crazy or selling something, don’t listen to them. You’re going to do a lot better as a parent if you do so from a solid foundation of reality. When it comes to the reality of your […]
Most Amazing One-Year Old Beatboxer Ever
The Innerrnets is a strange and wonderful place. Not a day goes by that I don’t say to myself, “Wow. I weep for humanity just a little bit more now that I’ve seen that” after finding some odd bit while surfing the tidal wave of information on here. But I must also confess that occasionally […]
#Lairing My Boys’ Bedrooms
We were so unprepared before Finn’s birth. His room was in disarray and we were in the middle of packing the hospital bag when vaj-agra falls happened. In less than fours hours, we had a baby boy in our arms. This time I wanted to buy all of the things, not just to be ready […]

Some people wonder why parents do this for their babies (birthdays and snowmen and such), hinting that it’s all really just for the parents. […]
The Crawling Dead
So, we made a simple diagram as a joke. Though we meant it in good fun, it is now obvious to us the baby zombie apocalypse is upon us… THEY’RE COMING FOR YOU, BARBARA. THEY ARE COMING FOR ALL OF US. BEWARE! Happy Friday! ““ Follow us on Facebook. Facebook innoculates against Zombies attacks. Promise-ish. […]
Baby Size Compared to Junk Food (A More Honest Chart)
From the moment the pee on a pregnancy stick says “yes, the gleam in his eye has met the speck in her tummy,” we start the process of wondering how big the little one actually is in there. Through all the weeks, months and trimesters. So, we find fetal size references that make a woman’s […]
Anatomy of a Sonogram
When we found out my wife was pregnant the first time we were just so excited that the idea of gender didn’t immediately come to mind. Several weeks in, for some reason, we thought we were having a girl. That thought persisted for a while. The moment we saw Finn’s little peepee on the teevee, […]
