Ted had his 4-month well-visit to the pediatrician today and the results are in: He’s doing great. Well, duh. As for stats, he’s just over the 30th percentile for weight, nearing the 70th percentile...
View ArticleStop the ride; it’s going too fast!

View ArticleRolling right along…
What’s the biggest news to come from our household since Ted was born? Ted has officially rolled over. We’re not talking about the butt-pivoting, rock-to-one-side-and-back movement that he’s been doing...
View ArticleLullabies for Dummies
Lullabies. If you don’t have at least one kid, when was the last time you really thought about lullabies? Ted is such a happy baby, he rarely requires the soothing of my horribly out-of-practice...

I had one of those “ah-ha” moments yesterday while putting away some of Ted’s laundry. Not that putting away clothes is anything special. Between the ever-present drool and the occasional poop...

Don’t act surprised. TheDailyTed has always revolved around potty humor. But poop, specifically Ted’s poop, has become a way too often subject of conversation between his parents. I never thought I...
View ArticleNot-so-deep Thoughts
I’m going to blame the content of this post on snow delirium from the hours I spent shoveling today. During Ted-Dad bonding time this evening I was carrying Ted around the house talking to him about...
View ArticleMom’s the Best
Well, duh, of course moms are great. Ted’s mom is especially great for all that she does for him (and me). In fact, Ted’s mom is so great, that for a while, Ted really didn’t want to be with anyone...

Oh what a year it’s been… Became a dad. Got peed on… twice, er, three times. Learned how to change diapers. Learned how to change poop-destroyed clothes. Learned to swaddle, and sway, and soothe an...
