Not your show pony

Every since Nathan was in the womb he has displayed some interesting behavior. When he would kick or move I would have someone feel my belly. Then the moving would stop. I would often have to tell people, "he's not my show pony," he refuses to show off for me. Nathan has continued this behavior, especially lately. We'll be playing and he'll actually give in and laugh for me I think Nathan's FINALLY laughing, oh good. Then I yell, "Daniel he's finally laughing." By the time Daniel gets to the room we are in, Nathan just looks at him puzzled and straight faced. This is the face that he gives us often, he is very serious three month old. He will smile at you, but to get a laugh you have to really work at it.
I think that he has figured that my phone has a video camera, because when he sees the phone go up he stops what he is doing. I imagine years of really bad home movies in my future. You know the ones, where the child just sits in front of the camera and the parents prod from the background.
Kind of like this one:

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
