I'd think Academy sports would be the best place to go for a goalrilla.
Toys alone do not seem to be an issue. Our first didn't have as many as our second, mainly because of the hand me downs, but he seems to be able to focus a bit better. May not have anything to do with it but our youngest had so much he was overwhelmed and now no matter what he is just indecisive and all over the place unless he is in demolition mode. When tearing **** up he is laser eye focused!

Somewhere in that 2-3 month range they start to realize they have hands. By 4 months they're playing with toys. Right now he's squeezing the living **** out of loose skin, pulling hair including my chest hair his recent obsession, tormenting the dog. Really ramping up. Getting sleep though. Lots of sleep, so I'm good with it.
2 years old and they figure they can express themselves best through biting. And they're about crotch level and every charge at you is terrifying in its possibility.
Damn Anth I truly miss all that ****. July 6 I will go through it again and look forward to it. Kids are so amazing and "smart" before you realize it. If I remember right that touch phase is where they really learn. What something feels like to pull on, push, squeeze etc.
My youngest would hold my finger to sleep and when I'd gambol to see if he was out it was easy to get away, but if he was awake he'd try to grab two fingers.
They are always learning and so damn amazing!
A true blessing.

I was really caught off guard by how bad the poop stinks when you start adding food to their diet. Should have saw it coming, but I guess I got a little too comfortable with those odorless breast milk-only poops.
I always wondered about the mustard seed poop when clearly they hadn't eaten mustard seeds.
Has bothered me to this day.

Anyone else creeped out by the Daddy/Daughter dates, dances, Her Knight, etc? I know my wife is going to pushing us to do all that stuff next year (daughter is 3). I'm not sure how that all started, but I'm guessing it was an offshoot of Promise Keepers or something (which is fine, or whatever). How 'bout I just be the dad?
Pretty sure those were invented for Facebook.
And yes I'm sure I'll be involved with one in the near future as well.

At the younger age (1st, 2nd grade) the Daddy/Daughter Dances are more about the girls dancing offbeat and flopping around the ground together, while most likely transmitting lice to each other.
Almost 3 weeks in, dude is taking more interest in things and starting to smile some.
Early on I was a big fan of the Moro reflex. But I think milk drunk is my new favorite reaction.
He's been sleeping pretty well, but getting up for feedings every 3 hours is getting old.

Moro reflex is the greatest thing ever. 
80, you're about 1/2 way to the first good milestone. Week 8 was a big one. Seems like they really start cooperating until Month 4 when they start regressing. By 4 months though, you're seasoned and can handle it.

Rarely ever post on here except for a few redass drunken nights in Gyero, but thought I would share a little bit.
My wife and I had a son on Sat morning. He is the greatest little thing ever, but nothing has come easy with him yet. For the most part he is a healthy little boy and we were able to bring him home late last night. His biggest problem right now seems to be jaundice and a lack of pee and poops over the last twenty four hours. He is not doing to great breast feeding, which is causing added stress on all three of us. It looks as if we are going to have to supplement some formula until we can control his movements and jaundice. As an added bonus they sent us home with a billy blanket that he has to wear on his back to help control the jaundice through phototherapy,
Anyways just wanted to say that bringing the child into the world has made me the happiest man and most exhausted I have ever been in my life. Can't wait to get this little guy healthy and playing more.

You should ask for the in home tanning bed thing, you'll end up with it anyway. Damn hospital has to try things they know won't work in order for that tanning bed to be covered though.
Jaundice is no big deal both my boys had it and I'm sure our next little dude will to this summer.

Our guy was early and didn't breast feed well either. Formula is sometimes made out to be the damn devil, but he is doing excellent on it, almost 6 months now. Formula probably hurts the moms feelings more than anything else, but there are some great things about it (minus price)
Our little guy was 37 weeks 4 days. The lactation nurses said that they call early, white males "Wimpy White Boys" because of how difficult they are to feed early on. Lasted about 10 days and he turned the corner.
Our guy was also jaundice and had to have the home tanning bed for 2 days. Was not happy about it.

Absolutely. In fact when we started supplementing I could feel the stress relief from WS. Breast feeding is great but nothing wrong with supplementing.
We started with 1 bottle feeding and now 8-9 months later we're down to just one mommy feeding.
Sunday March 20th. Possibility of 6-9 games, spread across 3 kids. Impossible.
Enjoy the younger younger years.

Have any of you guys dealt with night terrors? Our daughter (16 months) has been waking up a few times per night crying and we think she's experiencing them. She has a solid bed time routine every night, night-light, stuffed animal....is there anything else we should do or provide for her?
I had a mini panic attack when our last baby (girl) didn't poop for a couple of days. The boys both crapped like they were mainlining bran, so I expected the same. We ended up calling a a nurse friend and she said to pull her legs up to her chest, and check her temp with a rectal thermometer. Looked like a world famous ice cream cone from Rupp. Cutest crap ever.
kids are gross.
He will get through it. Breast feeding doesnt predict everything. 30 years ago, bottle feeding was in vogue. Medicine improves, but it also changes.
So many other factors go into. Sure, its the healthiest option, but it doesnt matter. If you nurture you child, give them love, teach them, be there for them, they will blossom. Screw the breast feeding guilt. The fact you are worried shows you are good parent. These next couple of weeks will make you closer and be the best part of all it. You are a lucky man.
I love watching my kids play, but I breathed a little sigh of relief when our middle son decided to not play baseball this Spring (Southwest - 4 days a week, probably, plus 'all stars') and do Flag Football (2 days). He'll probably miss it, but we let him decide.
Just got a text from my son's kindergarten teacher that he lost his first tooth today. Of course it was during lunch and she thinks he may have swallowed it, now he is upset that the tooth fairy might not visit.
He's been pondering the existence of the tooth fairy since he first discovered it was loose Sunday when his three year old sister told him there was no such thing.

Be the dad he deserves. Get up in that poop and find it.
Appreciate the input everyone, Went to our first appointment with the pediatrician(PAA) and his bilirubin was still slightly in the high range. He finally had a bm and pee after nearly thirty hours, doctor was sending us to the hospital if he hadn't done both by eight o'clock tonight. Never been happier to see a steaming pile in my life. Thanks for the support Wildcat friends.
Scientific studies have shown that 85% of formula fed babies grow up to be Duke fans. Just saying'.
Hardest part early was slowing down to enjoy them that size. I had to constantly remind myself. All that stuff is so awesome.
Coming into that age....6yo son refused to play anything for up until 10 months or so ago and now he would play sports all/air. Starting to see the craziness even with 2 days a week for him and one for 4yo it's a lot with my work/hen's carpooling. Can't imagine with the crap older kids do.
Speaking of flag football.....so my 6yo is obsessed with football and his been geeked out of his mind for flag this fall, told him I'd stripe the backyard for a field this summer to play flag with his friends and he almost passed out. That said, come to find out his school team for 1-2nd graders is tackle....I mean, cmon man. Basically just a team in a city league of 1st/2nd graders....this is absurd, yes?
I love football and whatnot and would allow my kids to play if they wanted but isn't that a little weird or is this accepted? My kids are on the small side per my Hen's genes, I have a hard time imagining kids being able to hold their heads up. On the flipside a quick google search showed kids at that age just running around like cats as per every other sport at that age, not Von checking fools across the middle.
Anyone had experiences?
PS - please no FOOTBALL IS GREAT / FOOTBALL IS THE DEVIL answers, this is the trust tree of Dadyero
Keep your head up, it's not as bad as it seems. Joey (three weeks old yesterday) had a slight case of jaundice, which went away after a week, and we also have to supplement his feed (he wasn't pooping regularly the first few days either, he's making up for it now).
Congrats on your healthy son, and don't expect to catch up on sleep. Also remember that your wife is likely not getting more than 2 hours of sleep at a time due to feedings and that alone will mess with her sanity and personality. It's not easy, but it's pretty awesome too.
My 1st grader played tackle football last fall and loved it. Kids at that age really don't have the mass and speed to do damage to each other with a helmet and pads on. I don't remember any injuries or even any stoppage of play for a "hurt" player. I would rather have my kid running around in a helmet and pads bumping into other kids as opposed to running around bumping into kids with no equipment to protect them.
Brady got braces today. Enjoy the toothless time.
Rex-Same son was the RB for his six year old tackle football team. We had no idea or would have never done it. It was like being in an episode of Friday Night Tykes. We saw injuries. As soon as we completed our obligation we were out.

As a dad of a 1 year old girl--the only daughter in the thread?-- and a high school football coach I will offer up my thoughts on little league football.
1st off, be involved as a coach. Don't just assume that somebody else will make sure that your kid is having fun and being taught the safest ways to play. If you don't know anything about football, you will fit right in. Teach kids to keep their eyes up in a collision. This is the most important thing little league football can teach a kid. Heads up tackling is as basic a skill as dribbling in basketball.
2nd, Nobody is going to toughen up a bunch of 8 year old kids. Don't let some idiot think he is doing you a favor by yelling/cussing at your kid to get them to play harder or more aggressive or get the gay out of them (I have heard this said by a little league coach before). The kids should be taught safety and they should have fun. There will be plenty of time for yelling and cussing when they get to high school.
Personally, I prefer that kids play flag until 4th grade. I don't think any technique can really be developed below that age, and any that is isn't worth the risk that a kid gets injured and mom says no more football, or worse the injury is serious and the kid is effected for years to come. Obviously as a coach I want kids to continue to play football until they graduate, not quit as an 8 year old because they had a bad experience in little league.
If I am blessed with a son, I hope that he plays football. My wife wants my daughter to play little league because she always wanted to and was never allowed to play. I don't know how I feel about that, but there is a lot of time for her to change her mind

Hope It pops out before coming to that. Our inducing experience sucked - when they aren't ready, they aren't ready!
Dad checking in here. We have a two year old girl and a 7 month old boy. They are 21 months apart (surprise!). For anyone considering having them that close together; don't. We've heard that it's better for them to be close together as they get older but it's been pretty rough so far. They do adore each other, but it's basically dealing with two babies all of the time. At present, the two year old has strep and the 7 month old has an ear infection. Fun!
Same experience with my daughter. She had a lot of crapping issues early on. We finally resorted to what you described and that stuff sprayed from her changing table to the wall, which was at least three feet away. Never seen anything like it and hope I never see it again.

How close to due date? If within a few days probably usually no big deal, if 3 wks out, good luck.
Having watched a good amount of Catholic School football this fall, you'd be surprised at how some of the kids hit at 3rd and 4th grade level. It was fairly surprising and shocking. CSA doesn't have tackle that young, it's just flag.
My boys are 19 months apart and aside from the oldest being a caring personality and the youngest fighting everything that moves they are great and play together pretty good except when one of them is being a punk about something.
With one due in July I hope the middle child calms down some. Our oldest was always happy about his little brother but man it's backfired and I'm hoping he realizes soon he is the big brother.

Bump (no pregnant)
Taking the family to Gatlinburg this weekend. Their first time down there and my my first in almost 10 years. Staying on the strip because I figured that'd be easier than loading them up and driving them all around the place. This way we can just walk right out of the hotel and be in the middle of it all. Any rec's for kid friendly activities? We're doing the basics -Ripleys museums, Dixie Stampede, mini golf, etc. they still have the go-karts and bumper boats? I loved those as a kid. And yes papa johns, got it.
Tee ball is in full swing *smile and wink* and I'm helping coach again. I really had no place doing that as I have never been baseball guy but the kids are 5-6 and my role is pretty straightforward. My oldest absolutely crushes it though. Making me really love the sport. If you ever have the chance to coach your kids do it. Total blast. I look forward to tee ball more than anything else right now.
