Official stay-at-home dad
Grandpa M giving SFDad a break It’s official! As of two weeks ago, SFDad officially became a “real” stay-at-home dad. I write “real” not because SFDad wasn’t a real dad previously, but rather, because SFMom went back to her old work on the 17th. While we had been sharing child-care duties until that point, there [...]

No Likey! This past weekend, we went to a kids’ fair put on by CPMC BabySteps (some sort of San Francisco health/welfare/social networking site that a local hospital is trying to launch). One of the interesting things that they were doing at the fair was offering to test kids toys for contaminants. A local businessman, [...]

Look ma, no hands! Hello, all! It’s SFBaby again. I’ve managed to gain some hand control over the last week or two, as you can see. You can see me here stealthily nipping into the drink all on my own, without any big people around to hold the bottle. I’m doing a lot more than [...]

Do you see the bee? Of course, both SFMom and SFDad want to raise a literate child. As you may have noticed to the right, we are getting B started off early: she is posing coyly here with her very first book, Fuzzy Bee and Friends. She has learned to hold the book and even [...]
Read More..>>Can I Get Your Digits?
The big news of the last few weeks is that SFBaby has discovered her hands and fingers! That’s right—she now has an understanding (albeit a pretty vague one) that she can do things with those floppy little hands of hers. This post also marks the second episode of SFBabyTV. Try to sing along (if you [...]

Not your typical SUV. It’s here! At two and a half months, little B is beginning her journey as a cute little future troublemaker. M and D were very surprised to notice that B had flipped herself over onto her stomach earlier today! While developmental progress is always delightful, there is the teeny problem of [...]
Read More..>>SFBaby loves the outdoors!
Who’s your daddy? Despite apeparances, B really does love going outside! We managed to get out and visit Fort Funston a few weeks ago when we had the heat wave. While this was a nice replay of the great weather we had in Hawai`i, the temperature was a little too hot for poor SFBaby (as [...]
