Babies, especially when they hit the toddler age need to snack and snack often. Forget the food and face the perilous onslaught of a multiple octave attack from your previously happy toddler. At one point in time moms and dads had to have plastic, re-sealable containers that were cheap, disposable and let’s face it, not cool at all.

What men, dads and fathers really think about
My wife is a talker. Daddy Mojo is a thinker. I listen a lot, talk a little-and even then it may be very fast or if I’ve been drinking, with a slight accent. It wasn’t until a couple months into our relationship that she told me that she often couldn’t understand what I was saying; either because I was talking fast or with an accent, not that I needed to drink to be around her.

A Dad’s guide to the pacifier
Prior to being a dad I didn’t know beans about the pacifier. Now that I’m a dad I still don’t know beans about the pacifier because my wife told us that we wouldn’t be using one with our child.
Husbands will attest to this that sometimes their better half will simply state that (insert activity or thing that you may, or may not want to do) will not be happening. Most of the time your spouse will be correct and that thing either wasn’t needed, would’ve added needless danger, calories or really would’ve made your butt look big. I’m not talking about those black pants, I swear sweetie. Continue reading A Dad’s guide to the pacifier
Dad day in the doctor’s waiting room
Today I had to take Baby Mojo to the doctor. After check in we went into the “well patient” waiting area where they have a couple toys and a movie playing. It was unique today because every parent with their child was a dad. Baby Mojo settled on the floor and started playing with another boy while his father and I chatted about our kids.
When the nurse came for the next patient she said, “Wow, it looks like Dad Day in the waiting room”. With one less dad in the waiting room I could focus my attention to Toy Story 2, which was playing on television. I defy anybody to not get sucked into watching that movie. It’s like a giant sink hole in Florida, except in a good way, unless it was sucking up one of those neon t-shirt shops, then it’s still in a good way.

Keeping family pets safe on Halloween
Most of the families that we know do have a pet of some kind. That’s a great thing because pets can really teach children a lot about responsibility, as well as, provide laughter and lots of love. Just like young children, Halloween can be a confusing time of year for our cats and dogs. These tips will help you get through Halloween, with a happy, healthy pet.
New babies: a primer on communication
When Baby Mojo was first born my greatest fear was ‘how will I know what to do?’ Even though you have nine months to prepare for their arrival the pressure about what to do and when to do it is the underlying albatross for most parents. We were talking one day and Daddy Mojo said something along the lines of my greatest fear aloud. Continue reading New babies: a primer on communication
Tips from a dad on helping your baby sleep
Ask most doctors how much sleep a baby needs and it’ll vary between 15-12 hours total, depending on how old your child is. We’ve been very fortunate in that Baby Mojo has been a great sleeper ever since the second day out of the hospital.
The first night home for him was a disaster, but not because of anything he did. Continue reading Tips from a dad on helping your baby sleep
