I remember watching my son sleep when he was a newborn. Those moments were precious and often happened only in the afternoon in the early days of my fatherhood.

Everything was happening in slow motion. All the sounds around us were muffled. The water coming out of the faucet. My son's body twitching and then going limp. His clenched jaw and me splashing that cold water on his body. I kept saying "I love you son, breath. Breath. Please breath!"

This is Mr. Dude's second Christmas and he's still learning about Christmas trees. He only sees all sorts of interesting things to play with and take apart.

Here are a few things I found to help our fussy little guy calm down when he wasn't an adorable sleeping baby.

Disclosure: I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. I love this time of the year. The visits with family, home cooked meals and travel plans are all a part of this wonderful yearly ritual. Christmas movies are often lumped into the list. Who hasn’t watched The Muppet Christmas Carol a thousand […]
