A long time ago, a naive Red was hoping to be out by 5,000. Guess what? Didn’t happen

Believe it or not, we saw high chairs with cushions that could not come out, or trays that could not go in the dishwasher, or impossible-to-clean crevices.

Well, screw those designers. We found better.

We love both the TC and FC carriers for both strolling around town and on hikes. In a crowded coffee shop, these packs take up much less room than a stroller and we find ourselves far more maneuverable as well.

Whoa there, Biscuit! About a week ago, we hit another parenting milestone — 3000 diapers!  It hasn’t been that long since 2000 and I’m starting to doubt we’ll escape this first child with only 5000. (Maybe 6,000 is more realistic). For her part, Dagny saved up for a few days and celebrated in style.   [...]

The thing is digital and paired (so somewhat secure) and has an awesome range! We can put Dagny to sleep upstairs and go downstairs and outside and garden.

Well, we must be doing something right. Just this last weekend we celebrated our 1,000th diaper.   I say celebrated, because Dagny insisted on screaming throughout the entire change, and I did a little dance with my arms in the air. It’s also significant, because it shows that my daughter has survived my fathering (so far) [...]

And now with the baby, we have stumbled upon 2 very effective solutions to common baby issues. I’d like to pass these along for the hopes that it saves some body a little bit of money/grief along the way.

Without further ado, here are some random things I have picked up after nearly 2 months of being a father.
