The kid doubled his birth weight a week ago – at 2 1/2 months – which I believe was a little early comparatively. He has averaged a 1.5 ounce weight gain per day – according to the internet, babies will gain .5 – 1 ounce per day for the first six months. He only eats [...]

I never realized how happy it would make me to witness the love between my husband and another human being. But, seeing Marc with our son fills me with more joy than when we finally made it to Indonesia on our honeymoon. It took a soot-covered ferry ride from Bali to Lombok followed by a [...]

Kara has been outdoing herself with gifts for the kid. I think because of the lack of knowledge around the sex of the sequel she is finding herself not able to buy anything but unisex clothes.

For somebody who never really knew either of her Grandpas – the fact that Harrison gets to meet his Great Grandpa is really awesome. There really is no doubt that Harrison is a Blase man. We met [...]

Marc’s mom called asking for a photo of her grandson on his 2-month birthday. Marc sent her this: I know that it is “politically incorrect” to let your child get drunk. But, come on…it was his 2-month birthday, we were on vacation in Tahoe and it was really good tequila. Marc is so pleased with [...]
