Recently, we ventured into dangerous, uncharted waters in our early parenthood months by experimenting with taking our darling baby boy to places where parents probably shouldn’t take a 7 and a half month old baby (right?). The first of such events was on May 7th. My wife and I really […]

“A World of Change (AKA A Trip to the Mall)” by John DiBiase
The past few weeks have certainly been a mix of crazy-busy-ness and “firsts” as a parent. Little Will has grown two teeth, had his first sips of juice from a kiddie mug, and treated his Dad’s lap like a Jumperoo while rockin’ out to music on my office stereo — […]
“I Love You, TinyLove” by John DiBiase
If there’s one thing I’m learning as a new parent, it’s the importance of good baby toys. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this toy before, but I believe it deserves its own post dedicated entirely to it’s goofy ring-shaped, floppy-eyeballed design. The “Tinylove” is a bizarro rattle that is altogether ridiculous […]
“It’s Been… Educational!” by John DiBiase
It’s been an interesting past couple of weeks as we continue to adjust to life as new parents. Or, as Marty McFly might say, “It’s been… educational!” We’ve recently had a Valentine’s Day day trip to dinner and a movie, a pediatrician check-up visit (he’s just over 16 lbs now […]
“The Art of Distraction” by John DiBiase
So, I’m well into the swing of baby daddy duty (AKA I’m Mr. Mom now). Thankfully, Will’s grandma (also known as my wonderful and gracious mother) has been helping me out with Will on the days Amy is back at the hospital as an operating room nurse. Amy’s still breast […]
“Top 10 Worst Baby Bathtime Moments” by Amy DiBiase
So, it has occurred to me recently, that the most practical place to blog from is my cell phone. In this day & age with Smart phones and all, I feel like I should take advantage of this amazing piece of technology right in the palm of my hand. Not […]
“The Mr. Mom Chronicles Begin” by John DiBiase
Yes, it’s true. It’s been quite some time since I last reflected on what many believe to be “The Joys of Parenting.” Since I’ve last written, I’ve struggled with adopting the idea that the phrase “The Joys of Parenting” is either a big inside joke, or something that a poor […]
“The Maiden Voyage of the Moses Basket” by Amy DiBiase
Yesterday we embarked on the maiden voyage of the Moses basket!!! For those of you wondering, this did not involve me putting Will in the stereotypical baby basket and sending him down the Lehigh River … it did however, involve that I got the beautiful basket out of the corner […]
“Date Night vs Real Life” by John DiBiase
As November 1st marks exactly one month since we ventured into the world of parenthood, it’s intriguing to look back on the past four weeks to see how much life has changed. On Friday night, Will was officially four weeks old, and on Saturday night, my parents volunteered to assume […]
“Thank God for ‘Fridays'” by John DiBiase
One of the downsides of having a newborn around all the time now is… it’s tough to go out. Amy and I were once the kind of couple that would often dash out to the movies or to dinner on a whim. We both work a lot, so it’s often […]
