Let’s Hold Up a Bit on That Parenting Award…
We’ve been at this game for a while now, twelve weeks according to my handy calendar, and we’ve learned a shit ton. The internet tells me that if you do something for 10,000 hours, you can call yourself an expert. Now, according to my maths, we’ve logged just over 2,000…

Wonder Weeks are Wonderful (Hint: Sarcasm)
Most of the learning that I did in preparation for having a child revolved around the pregnancy and the delivery. Perhaps I did not want to jinx the delivery by learning how to actually deal with a little human that arrives with a skill set that contains precisely zero skills….

Popeye-pedia Brown and the Case of the Flat Head
If you understand the title to this post… congratulations you’re old! For the younger among us, Encyclopedia Brown was a boy detective who solved cases for 25 cents plus expenses (he may have been good at deduction, but at finance, not so much). It was a book series that was…

3 Things I Have Learned with a Two Month Old
Well, blow me down, Popeye is two months old! When you have a baby, you enter this strange vortex where time flies except when he’s crying. At that point, it’s like the climatic ending of The Hudsucker Proxy – time literally freezes (umm, spoiler alert?). There are other things that…

Baby milestone alert! Popeye had his 2 month checkup and was the lucky recipient of his first round of infant vaccinations. This included vaccines for Hepatitis B, Polio, Pneumococcal Disease, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Rotavirus and Hib. Luckily, they are able to combine some and the final tally was 3 shots…

Popeye & Daddy Show 2: Electric Poop-a-loo
Rarely is the sequel better than the original. For every great one like Empire Strikes Back, there are 47 bad ones like Dumb and Dumberer or Babe 2: Pig in the City. Sometimes, the sequels are done to cash in on the popularity of the original. Other times, I think…
