Tips For Flying With A Baby – Part 1

theincredidad September 7, 2018 1 Comments
Your Pre-Flight Check List If the CIA really wanted to get their terrorist suspects to talk, they should force them to take a long flight with a baby on their lap. That kind of unconstitutional torture is exactly what Bex and I willingly submitted too last month. If I had any State Secrets to share, I would gladly have sung like a canary after those flights. So if you're thinking about going on a…

It Takes A Village

When my cousins and I were little, my Gramma's brother, Uncle Jack, would bring his family down to visit our wild tribe every once in a while. I was too young to experience it first hand but I've been told that he would always remark how everyone just seemed to pitch in when it came to the kids. If someone was crying, the nearest adult would scoop them up. If someone was hungry, a plate got…

Acting Like A Super Villain

Bex, if you're reading this, stop now. Just close it. X out and go do something else. If any other Incredi-Reader is near her, please take her phone and throw it out the window because we all know she's not going to listen me. Waiting...waiting...Okay is she gone? Good. Today I'm going to talk about a major flaw of mine and I don't want her getting ideas that I am anything less than perfect. But…

When Your Secret Identity Becomes Your Only Identity

theincredidad July 20, 2018 3 Comments
We Lost Our Identity To Parenting!Last night we got Boy Wonder to bed pretty early (seven-thirtyish), which left Bex and I a few hours to ourselves. The nights when this happens are few and far between. We operate on different schedules and wind up being home together only two nights a week. Now, you would think that we'd take advantage of this well deserved grown up time and you'd be right. We…

So Bex decided to write a Guest Post about her own experiences with breastfeeding. As always, please join us in the conversation by adding to the comments below.  ~The IncrediDad   Checking In With Bex Breastfeeding is one of the…

Daddy’s Test Kitchen: Avocado 2 Ways

theincredidad July 8, 2018 0 Comments
Up until a few months ago, I had never eaten an avocado in my life. I've been told that's a sin in Southern California. So after seven years of living out here I finally broke down and tried one. It was among the tastiest fruits I've ever had. Avocado is light, versatile, and you don't have to cook it. All of those reasons made it the perfect food to snack on during our massive heatwave this…

IncrediDads: Top 5 Superhero Dad Quotes

theincredidad July 1, 2018 0 Comments
While the greatest heroes seem to stand tall on their own, there is usually a pretty strong father figure who helped pull them to their feet in the first place. We can learn a lot from dad figures like Alfred Pennyworth, Jor-El, Uncle Ben, Joe West, Thomas Wayne. The thought came to me as I've been helping Boy Wonder pull himself up on his own feet. I realized that I've never paid much attention…

Time Flies

theincredidad June 22, 2018 0 Comments
Now that we are half-a-year into this adventure, I think I'm finally ready to admit something. Time always seems to be the one thing I can't get enough of. Coincidentally, it's also something that won't go by fast enough. From the beginning, time was the IncrediDad's arch enemy. It didn't seem like there was enough time to prepare ourselves for the major lifestyle change our bundle of joy was…

Lettuce Turnip The Beet

theincredidad June 18, 2018 1 Comments
I've always loved eating. Whenever someone tries to talk to me about physical fitness I am too happy to correct them. "Fitness? More like fitness whole pizza in my mouth!" But the rising numbers on my scale have really turned the punchline of the joke into an elastic waistline. As much as I love food, I know that some foods will never love me back and that's got me feeling guilty. So I'm…

Jaws

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the nursery . . . he's back! This time with teeth. At 7 months, Boy Wonder is biting his way through everything he can (Daddy's fingers, cheeks, and nose included) with his two razor sharp teeth. He's also producing enough drool to fill a swimming pool and racking up plenty of sleepless nights too. We knew that teething was going to be a painful…
