bstach Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Time for another video...everybody loves laughing babies...though I really don't know what was so funny. Usually it is hard to get him to laugh, he is not easily amused   8Sh2SWWoCPk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high_on_rock Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 OK Dads, last night I attended a girl scout sponsored dance for girls and their dads/male rolemodels. There were about 40-50 father/daughter teams there, and it was a tremendously positive event. I saw smiles on the faces of all the young ladies, and pure love in the eyes of their fathers. On my long drive back to Wenatchee today, I wept a couple times thinking about the event, and the bright beautiful smile my 9 year old daughter had all night. If you ever have the chance for one of these events, I highly recommend you go. Â A much better fundraiser than selling cookies. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high_on_rock Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 At about 5-6 months old, I used to hang my daughter up-side-down in a full body kids harness (some modifications) and hang her from the living room ceiling. It was like her swing. I would lay under her and watch her giggle. Â never to young to get them in a harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high_on_rock Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 the first "game" my daughter played with me was swinging in her harness, rope in the middle of the living room. She was in a sitting position duct-taped so that she sat up nicely. I was swinging her while trying to catch a few winks of sleep. I looked over, and every time she swung toward me she would make a cute little face and open her eyes real big. took me a moment to figure out that she was instigating "play" for the first time.

Although it is probably defunct now for being "politically incorrect", the Indian Princesses used to be a father-daughter group. We got to dress up in little pocahontas-type outfits for the meetings and make cool things out of sponges, potatoes, yarn, and whatnot. I have a lot of great memories of my father, but those times I got to have him all to myself are certainly some of my best memories.  A great dad is one of the best gifts any woman can ask for.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way dood...start them at 2+ to 3 years...they are climbing into and over everything by then so its an unconscious switch...by 4 they are thinking enough that they might get freaked...best to bypass that stage if possible  I'm struggling with several kids' in my neighborhood to get them over that issue right now...I'm convinced if you start them young enough its better...

sobo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 bstach, That one simply has to go into the album. Drag it out a few years from now when he brings his climber girlfriend home to meet you. You'll truthfully be able to say he "had climbing in his blood" from Day One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 My wife and I are expecting another child. Funny thing is that the due date is on Miles’ birthday. What are the odds of he/she being born on 10/15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
