Gus' Rule of Parenting

Never use the best looking outfit first in the day. There is an immutable law that the better looking the baby outfit the shorter the time before the baby delivers and the daiper leaks.

This makes one posit the question, why would a man who hardly coordinates his own outfits would take pleasure in matching a Basset Hound themed blue and maroon striped onesie with light blue pants?

It's finals time for Dad, so we will have a walk around the neighborhood today and some serious writing to be done during the mid-day nap.

Mommy continues to take the brunt of getting up in the middle of the night because she has something Daddy doesn't.

Yesterday, besides getting the uh-hum done; we also had a weighing. Mom bet he would be 8 lbs 7 oz or less and Dad bet 8 lbs 8 oz or greater. Bill came in at 8 lbs 8 1/2 oz. Daddy wins!


Here's a nice picture from this morning. We're trying to put him down in the crib or co-sleeper whenever we can to get him used to it. It works for a little while.

This isn't really the Ferber method or the Fokker Method, and not the Happiest Baby on the Block either. This is the Train to Sleep Method that has a better name that Daddy can't remember right now.

Gotta go for that walk.
