Marvyn+Mary

We got this Fisher-Price Aquarium Cradle Swing from Tito Vic and Tita Norian (Thanks) and it's supposed to help Jagger sleep—Something he doesn't have a problem with. Feed him some formula and he'll sleep for the next 3 hours until it's time to eat again. Now I have it in my office so that I don't have to keep lugging the bouncer from our living room. Gotta economize and forget my wish of buying another crib for the office. (See, I'm learning to be more responsible with money) More after the jump.

Caught this fleece vest/wrap over at Ohdeedoh and my immediate thoughts were, “Quaaaaid, staaaart the reactooor…” (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, click here) I want to keep my little boy warm, but not at the sake of looking like a mutated human from Mars. And at $70 a pop, I think I can pick up a fleece hoodie from Old Navy, cut a hole, and use the remaining $50 on blow and hookers…I mean toys and diapers for Jagger.

Speaking of Arnold, a new Terminator Salvation trailer was released last week. I have to say, it’s starting to look good. Plus I love the song for the trailer: The Day The World Went Away by NIN—A five minute song with about three sentences of lyrics. I also heard rumors that Arnold may cameo, but please save us from another Terminator 3 performance.

By the way, who was in charge of casting for T3? I find the transition hard to swallow, from Eddie Furlong to Nick Stahl to Christian Bale. I don’t really have a problem with Eddie or Christian, but who thought that Yellow Bastard would be a good fit to play John Conner? Seriously. …

First order of business: One of the attendees of Mary’s birthday soiree left his/her sweater behind. Claim this lovely knit at the next family gathering.

Bath Time

Jagger had his first “real” bath today(he has had sponge baths before this). Of course he cried for a good majority of it. He simply does not want to be cold, let alone wet.

Call the Wahhhhhbulance!

I’ve developed two techniques to stop Jagger from crying. The first technique is where I pretend cry with him, which makes him stop and stare at me. Effective, but it’s not something I’m going to do in public. The other option is to cradle and rock him to sleep. Not a useful technique when I need him awake. Any suggestions?

Poop Encounter

I had my first poop disaster with Jagger a few nights ago. I need him awake for his late night feeding so I stripped him down to his diaper to wake him up. After he ate, we were watching Sports Center and a little peanut butter slipped past his diaper and onto my shirt. I should have put his pajamas back on, but lesson learned.…

I have officially joined the WAHD (Work At Home Dad). I don't know any other dad driven bloggers out there. I'm a member of one. Anyway, I think I'll start a little weekly tidbits of my daddy life. Click the link to read the little morsels of my new daddy job.
