Banana Stickers?

I used to collect baseball cards. It was a healthy hobby (not like D&D which is apparently the devil’s game). I had boxes, binders, sheets, and sleeves filled with the 3.25″x 2.25″ cardboard collectibles. I used Beckett’s Baseball Card Monthly to price out the value of my cards. I even went to baseball card shows to meet venders and other collectors to buy from and trade with.

And why not? Baseball cards make sense. There are real people who play a sport and build up stats. And there are cards that display both. What I don’t quite understand are why some people travel the world in search of banana stickers.

Parenthood @ 7 weeks

Back at week five I thought I was going to die from exhaustion (my wife came much closer than I did.) Now, at week seven, it doesn’t seem so bad. Wait, are you going to be positive for once? Yes. Today, I’m putting my usual curmudgeon self aside so I can share the joy that comes with being a parent. Why? Because beyond the dozen daily diaper changes, the middle-of-the-night top-of-the-lungs screaming spells, and my son’s inability to communicate in words, there are some really great moments.

In the past two weeks Jose has learned to eat from a bottle, conduct an orchestra, smile on demand (provided “demand” means I talk like a child and smile until he smiles), and sleep for more than three hours at a time (<– best learned behavior to date).

Baby Daddy

In a handful of weeks I’ll have a baby. Well, my wife will be doing the majority of the work, but I’ll be a dad. Of course, some people think that I’m already a dad. I guess that depends on when you consider life to begin. Anywho, I’m going to put the cover back on that worm can and get to my point. Which was?

When your pregnant wife (or partner) asks you to take baby classes you say “yes.” You are welcome to poke fun at the topics, but you cannot complain. You can poke fun at the people in the class, but you cannot complain. You can go camping for the weekend, but you better be home in time to make the class (and you cannot complain about returning early to make the class). Ok, no complaining. I get it. What can I do?

Baby Names

Let’s suppose that you were going to have a baby. Congratulations btw. And, let’s suppose that baby was a boy. Break out the cigars my friend.

Now you have the task of naming your bouncing baby boy. Now, let’s suppose that from the hundreds of thousands of names out there, the list was whittled down to four. What would you choose? If the answer is something else, what would you suggest?

It’s a baby!

Hey mom, I made a baby. And guess what? Today, the wife and I heard those time-stopping words, “It’s a boy.” We double-checked too. The ecografia photo frame showed us that little piece of person distinguishing M from F. No, not the brain. The whatchamacallit, didgeridoo, bits and pieces…the junk. Sho nuff, we’re having a boy.

World at large (well, as large as my readership) I introduce you to boy baby. “Pff, we already knew you were havin’ a kid.” Yes, but now the world knows that the Antichrist is a boy. Cheers y’all.
