Daddy Diaries – When Should A Baby Start To Crawl?

Eric Cornish — Sun, 05 May 2013 16:30:28 +0000

When should a baby start to crawl? The answer to that is ‘when they are good and ready.’ I hear people say all the time ‘Well, my child crawled at 3 months’ or ‘Little Jimmy was walking and singing opera by 7 months.’ If you knew what my son went through, you’d just be glad [...]

Daddy Diaries – Why Can't You Do What I Told You To

This morning, I had an experience that just got me on a range of emotions. While packing up the five bagillion things needed to send two kids to grandma’s house for the weekend, I entrusted my 20-month old to a task to not only keep her busy but to help with what I needed done. [...]

Daddy Diaries – I Have Charred Nipples

As most of you have heard, I am a first time Dad now. My 3-month-old is the light of my life and I feel like I'm learning the ropes pretty good. I'm gagging less with each dirty diaper, and I've learned the difference between a onesie, a sleeper, and a romper after a few insults from my wife.
