Christopher has taken to the toilet like a king to his throne. Though we go potty a dozen or more times daily – mostly at my urging – we have one or two accidents. Not bad…for a beginner. Since Sunday, he has worn underwear EVERY day with the exception of naps and bedtime. When do [...]

Our little gordito
We just returned from Matteo’s 2nd-month visit with the pediatrician. Okay, I mentioned previously that Matteo has been wearing a few 6-month outfits, and now we know why. Our little 7-week gordito measured in at 24 inches in length and weighed in at 13.4 lbs. To put this into perspective, he is on the 95% [...]
Men can be great stay-at-home parents, too
One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing someone, usually that person is female, comment that I am doing my “wife” a huge favor by “babysitting” my children. First of all, why on Earth would anyone suggest that men babysit their children? Secondly, no one ever makes the “giving-dad-a-day-off” comment to women. I won’t even [...]

Website under development
First, I want to thank you for providing feedback to my “Website advice needed” post. While we no longer need the website for adoption outreach, we want to keep the website active as a way for family and friends to keep up-to-date on our family life. Our website, www.mikeandmichael.info, is designed as a photo and [...]
My life as a stay-at-home dad, the T.V. show
In June 2008, I wrote a blog about what my life was like transitioning from a career-minded individual to one who is primarily focused on nurturing little ones. Well, I am pleased to announce that I just finished filming an interview for a SAHD project. The producers, whose goal is to create something similar to [...]
