Co-Sleeping With A Toddler (And a Tuft & Needle Mattress Giveaway!)

Disclosure: I received a product for review from Tuft & Needle in exchange for the creation and sharing of this post. Sleep is important. I mean seriously important. If you had told me how colossally my sleep schedule would be affected once I became a father before we had our kid I would have called […]

Uncomfortable Dad

I wanted to be the perfect dad. I wanted everything to be right. I was scared to death that I would screw something up, break him or drop the baby. That's not happened yet, so I count it as a win!

Dear Wes,

I’m writing this as you are sleeping on my chest as an almost 13 month old. I love you. I love you more than I even understood it was possible to love someone before I was a parent. I only want what is best for you and for you to have a happy life. When […]

A Dad’s Birth Story

This post was written a few days after my son was born. It’s being posted today (one year later) as a reminder to myself of the wonder and intense experience of childbirth. This is the day I became a father. This is the day that changed my life forever. This is the day I learned […]

A Mother’s Love Is Complicated and Beautiful

Motherhood changes you. In the months leading up to and directly after the birth of our first child, I have seen my wife become a mother to a precious baby boy. She is still the woman I fell in love with, but there is an added grace, strength, and beauty that motherhood has given her. […]

Best 6 Month Picture Ever

This kid makes me smile. Seriously. Even when he’s upset or having a “bad day” I can’t help but smile. He’s so damn cute. Abigail often says “Life’s so hard when you’re a baby” when he’s grumpy. I mean really, how bad can it be for a baby who’s healthy and always has one or […]

International Babywearing Week

I love babywearing. It makes me feel closer to my son (not just physically) but emotionally as well. I can see his smiles and sleepy eyes up close.
