Why’d I have to grow up?

I wish I was a baby again. How nice is that? Everything is new. Everything is there to explore. Except for the inability to explain yourself intelligibly, it's a sweet life. No job. No responsibilities. Can walk around in your pajamas all day. Everyone brings you your meals. You're given a bath every night. When you cry and complain, people actually care and listen.

For awhile now Baby J. has been saying "da da". And some will argue she's just babbling, while I argue that it isn't a coincidence that she says it mostly to me (especially when I first get done with work or when she's bringing me something). But that's beside the point. For sure, without it possibly being interpreted any other way, Baby J. says "duck".

Reminiscing

My wife and I have started going through all the pictures of Baby J. since her birth. We're trying to put together a bunch of pictures for the holidays. I can't believe she's already 10 months old. So much time has passed so quickly. It's surprising too to see her now and to think of how much she has changed but also how much she really is still a baby.

too expensive being a parent

Before we had Baby J., my wife and I were dinks (double income no kids). It was easy getting by. We were able to save up enough money to buy a nice house, a nice car, live in a good neighborhood and have all the amenities. Now that we're parents and my wife stays home with the baby, it isn't enough that we're on a tigheter budget, but everything is more expensive now. I'm not just talking about the cost of diapers and formula. My health insurance tripled in cost. The health insurance company refused to cover what it should have for the hospital visits.

Baby Blanket

We live in Western New York, so this time of year, it starts to get really cold. We had our first snow on October 1st. That being the case, we wrap Baby J. in two layers of pajamas each night. Even with the heat going all night, it still gets really cold. The pajamas alone aren't enough. So at the last pediatrician's visit, we asked if there was any reason we couldn't give her a blanket. All the books say wait until they're a year and a half before giving them a blanket. That seemed pretty ridiculous to us. Baby J. is an extremely active baby. And even though she sleeps for long stretches at a time, she's a light sleeper. The pediatrician said we were ok to give her a blanket, and we have.

It’s Time to Sleep

Ever been so utterly exhausted after taking care of your kid that you can't stay awake any longer? Yesterday, I was taking care of Baby J. She was playing on the floor of her bedroom with some stuffed animals, while I was sitting next to her. I'd been up late the night before working. It didn't help that the baby woke me up at 5am, because she was tired of sleeping in the crib but wanted to pass out in my arms. So, there I was, going on about three hours of sleep, watching a baby playing with her toys, when I passed out.
