With every week — and sometimes every day — offering new experiences in the parental role, one unexpected encounter came when I went in to have my blood taken earlier this week on Monday. The unimportant detail to this story is it was a routine check-up on the levels of […]

“Boy Story” by John DiBiase
Twenty one (and almost a half) months! While it’s been a few months since my last blog, these weeks in between posts have been anything but dull. Watching Will develop has been quite the site, as he’s a walking, running, toddling babbler. He doesn’t really speak much yet, although he’s […]
“Happy Valentine’s D–HEY! Come Back Here!” by John DiBiase
So it’s been a couple months of adjusting to life with a growing, fully mobile little boy running around. Will is now 16 and a half months, and this two-legged freedom he’s now experiencing has brought new joys AND challenges our way. I’m definitely enjoying having a walking toddler around […]
“Look Who’s Walking Now” by John DiBiase
Just in time for Christmas, Amy and I got our wish when Will took his first couple daring steps on his own. For weeks leading up to this momentous event, he had enjoyed being lead around by the hands or shimmying himself along counter tops and other edges while standing. […]
“Learning to Walk” by John DiBiase
It’s been several weeks since I last wrote about our adventures in parenting, but it’s really been just several weeks of a waiting game: when will the little beastie learn to walk? While we wait for Will to take the leap of faith, so to speak, it’s still pretty amusing […]
“Full-Contact Birthday Cake” by John DiBiase
So, this past Saturday, we celebrated our little guy’s very first birthday! (well….. technically, last year was his “birth day”… but he would have died if we tried to give him birthday cake as soon as he emerged into the world) On his actual day, we gave the little guy […]
“Babies and Hotels Don’t Mix” by John DiBiase
It’s been awhile since my last entry, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been several new adventures for us. First, Amy and I finally got away for a weekend this month to Orlando. I mixed business with vacation, but it worked well to get us some time to just “us” […]
“I Hate (Most) Talking Childrens Toys” by John DiBiase
One thing I’ve noticed as my 10 month old is growing is just how obnoxious his toys can be. Of course, I’m not saying the toys themselves have their own pesky attitude (That would be silly, wouldn’t it?). However, the voices recorded for the children are some of the most […]
“We Have a Crawler!” by John DiBiase
Now that our little guy is over nine and a half months old, it seems some of my initial shock is wearing off. Sure, it’s still a big life change to be lugging around a mini-human (and diaper bags), dealing with fussy fits (although, thankfully, those have lessened), and not […]
“Hide the China! He’s on the Loose!” by John DiBiase
In the several weeks that have passed since I last wrote on our bouncing baby boy, quite a few things have transpired. The biggest of such transpirations, however, is that my clumsy left foot discovered just how horrifically evil a children’s crib can be… When my foot casually-yet-unintentionally-forcefully connected with […]
