Carter James Arney


Carterarney_medium

Just wanted to interject a quick post here amidst the little winning streak the Reds have going now, and let everyone know where I've been for the past few weeks. Carter James Arney was born on April 9th, and he's been keeping me pretty busy since then. Here he is in his first (I'm sure of many) Reds outfit.

I also wanted to thank Slyde and everyone else who contributed for the outfits and Reds book. Alli and I loved it all (the "Juan Castro makes my cry bib" was probably my personal favorite) and I'm going to get some pictures of those up ASAP.

Open thread question: Parenting advice. Share what you know, I'm always looking to learn. And it looks like I'm not the only new father around, so it could be a lively thread.

How long until you stop poking them in the middle of the night to make sure they're still breathing?

Congrats to Mom and Dad!

JD, as the dad of two teenage daughters, I can tell you that the best advice I got about raising kids was this: pick your battles. Decide what’s important-REALLY important-at any given stage of CJ’s life, and let the other stuff slide. You’ll kill yourself worrying about everything, so don’t. Congrats again, and good luck.

Congrautlations JD and to your wife! Great photo.

Mine are 5 and 7 now, and I still go in and poke them to check their breathing. My guess is you keep doing it until they leave the house. I think one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is how much of my life I’ve spent thinking about myself. Having children sometimes makes you finally realize that there are other people out there too. But… a lifetime of a certain behavior is hard to change overnight, so don’t be too hard on yourself.

And remember, though those parenting How-To books are a great comfort, it will become painfully clear that no baby has ever actually read one of those things.

BINGO

This is a wise man. Mine are 7 and 2 and when I first read the “how long until you quit poking them” comment my first thought was “you stop doing that at some point?”

I also agree about the selflessness involved in being a parent. It may seem overwhelming at times but nothing in your life will make you happier than seeing your hard work come to fruition in your child, no matter how small the payoff.

The best advice is to not take it too seriously. Don’t get too wrapped up in what the books and well-intentioned people tell you should do to raise the perfect child. There is no such thing. If your heart is in the right place as I’m sure it is, you’ll be just fine. I asked everyone I could for advice when my son was born and quickly realized most people are just fumbling through it as best they can.

I have done and seen quite a bit in my short time on the planet, but nothing has compared to being a parent. It’s the most rewarding, amusing, infuriating and terrifying thing I’ve ever encountered. Don’t ever take it for granted, their childhood flies by before you know it. Good luck, and remember: people have been doing this for a loooooooong time. You’ll be fine. :)

by constantly repeating “People on Cops keep having kids, surely we can make it work.”

Yeah

I should have added that caveat to my advice below. Advice from others seldom matches anything that you actually need with your child. Just roll with it, baby. You’ll sleep again, someday.

That last sentence is perfect

I try not to give parenting advice, mainly because I don’t have that much experience myself, but also because very little of the advice that I received has been relevant. Just remember they are humans and therefore tend to act on whims that can change with the wind. It’s a roller coaster, so have fun on the ups and the downs.

Oh, and be prepared to wipe poop from places you didn’t think possible.

I disagree

overnight diarrhea is the worst. Especially when the kid doesn’t seem to mind sleeping in poop that has worked its way up to his neck.

The worst I've had

was when my son had Pyloric Stenosis. When I told the Dr. he had projectile vomiting, she asked “When you say projectile….”. I cut her off with, “I can hold him out from my chest and he can hit me in the neck with it.” :)

They fixed it with laparoscopic surgery when he was 5 weeks old. I aged 20 years that week.

Wow

I cannot even imagine the horror. That’s another thing that becomes more acute. Now, anytime I hear any kind of difficult story relating to a child, my heart immediate melts. You feel it before you have kids, but after, it’s crushing.

Let me give you some advice on giving parenting advice

We do it because we’d like to think maybe it will work for OTHER people’s kids.

yeah

I’ve found that absent any specific evidence decrying otherwise, we usually assume that others will do a better job/have an easier time with their kids, especially if we can give them this little bit of advice.

I loved it when I would talk to other parents with infants around the same age (6 months and under) and I would ask them how their baby was sleeping. I often got a response that their babies were sleeping through the night and had great naps etc. After I got over my bleary eyed jealousy, I realized that they were probably lying or not the one who had to get up with the kid.

My kid was still waking up in the middle of the night regularly at 15 months

I pretty much hated all other parents at that point. After several feeble attempts throughout the previous year to “just let him go back to sleep”, it finally took at 15 months. Sometimes I put him in time out even when he’s not doing anything just as punishment for ruining my sleep. :)

I'm the guy you hate

After his surgery at five weeks, it took about 3-4 weeks before my son slept through the night on a regular basis. It was awesome. My daughter…...notsomuch.

JD

Wow. Congrats, he’s beautiful and already with good fashion sense. The best advice I can give you at this stage is to try and get him on a schedule as quickly as you can. Nothing too overly rigid as adaptability is key, but regularity with feedings and naps is gonna be your sanity saver. The baby should respond relatively quickly and you’ll notice how much easier things become when you ad he know what time is for what action. How’s he sleeping? Are you swaddling? I’m here for you since posting and dealing with babies is all I do. Good luck and e-mail if you need anything at all.

Congratulations to you and your entire family.

I would advise any new parents to get The Happiest Baby on the Block. (You don’t have to read the whole thing but read enough of it to learn “The Five S’s” and you may save yourself from some sleepless nights.) I am alomst cynical and skeptical of any self-help and/or how-to books but I must say that this one is worth the embarrassment of carrying around something that Dr. Phil endorses.

[Full disclosure: I think that my wife and I have had what the grandmotherly types describe as “easy” babies (ate well, slept well, no ear infections and whatnot) so if I say “Try this. This should work” I completely understand if someone else is thinking “That hardly ever works.”]

The first two or three months can be frustrating if you don’t accept that your baby is growing and changing very quickly so whatever techniques and strategies might have worked yesterday night not work as well (or at all) by tomorrow. That said, I think that infants/babies/children respond best to routines so if you do find something that works, try to build on it and make it as enjoyable as possible and keep doing it.

And while you’ve got pleasant Spring and early Summer weather, get that boy outside as much as possible! That’s no China Doll ya got there.. that’s a ballplayer!

when i was in Kindergartin

I didn’t do any work in class for a week. I had the girl sitting next to me do all the work, because I decided I needed a secratary because my dad had one.

That was the same year I was suspsended (from Kindergartin) for attempting to lead a rebellion against the subsitute teacher. It was color everything red day and I lost my red crayon, it went down hill from there.

That's classic

my son (2) occasionally easily slides the expression “fucking shit” out in proper context (dropping pacifier, losing blankee, etc.) and my wife is quick to try and nip it in the bud. She recently realized after I pointed it out to her that she was the one that introduced the wonderful phrase into his vocabulary.

advice

you more or less know what is right for your children. that’s why I love being a father – it’s the one thing we can do the way we want to do it.

Jump in there and do everything – change diapers, feed him bottles, etc. Don’t assume that there are things “mommies do” and things “daddies do”. When you get in there, work, and get your hands dirty, you really form a strong bond with your child. Knowing that you can take care of your kid in any instance (when he’s sick, when your wife goes out with the girls, etc) is a very empowering, fulfilling feeling.

Some advice

1. If at all possible, meet with the breeder before purchasing
2. Select one with healthy plumage
3. Make sure that the bar sizing on the cage is just right
4. Make sure doors and windows are closed when they are out of their cage

... oh wait… you said parenting advice… my bad

Congrats, JD.

Just remember to get yellow crib sheets and yellow towels. That way, if they get poop stains on them and the stains don’t come out, you won’t be able to tell as readily.

Just kidding. Seriously, though, I actually find that Method baby detergent works very well at getting poop and food stains out of baby stuff. You can get it at drugstore.com.

I’ve heard also that Brendan’s Mom has some advice on baby gear.

(Actually, the Mighty-Tite is a very nice thing to have to make sure the seatbelts securing your carseat are tighter than you could get them without tools. My wife and I use it all the time for cab rides.)

Also, if you’re interested, I have developed a technique to avoid getting “baptized” by my “little squirt.”

At least it wasn't Grady Little.

Allow me to add my congratulations...

Judging from the this good looking kid, his mom must be darn attractive!
4 kids and 3 grandkids later – my advice is make it fun, don’t be afraid to take the kid anywhere at anytime and when the little guy is really driving you nuts (like when you’re out a restaurant and he won’t stop screaming) do what Mrs. M. and I did: Bundle him up and stick him in the trunk of the car.
Seriously – there is no more beautiful child than your first… unless its the 2nd or possibly – 3rd maybe the 4th….
