Hello! Welcome to my Blog!

Hi!

I am Dice, 30 yrs old, married to my beautiful wife Cheds and just recently have been blessed with our handsome baby boy, Liam.

I am writing this blog to share our experiences and discoveries as a newly wed couple and first time parents, but this time, from the husband's/dad's perspective.

My wife and i got married last July 29, 2017; after 10 years of being a couple. God blessed us with a bouncing baby boy last June 25, 2018.

Being a couple for 10 years, there wasn't much adjustment when we became husband and wife, we practically knew almost everything about each other, so there were no surprises. Eazy peazy.
Then, the baby.

As of writing, Liam is 8 mos old. He is now eating solid foods. He is crawling. He can now pull himself up and stand (amazing moment!), He now utters "ma..ma""ma....meee" and "da..da" and "da..deee" bit by bit, we're not sure if Liam is saying these on purpose to call us, but were claiming it anyway. He's making A LOT of sounds now, actually. He's also more fun to interact with now, as compared to the last few months. He now smiles at the sight of you, and laughs (best sound in the world) whenever you make a funny face or noise. and has a strange fascination with the TV remote control. Yes, dozens of bright, colourful, child safe, bpa free, led free, baby toys lying around, and he wants the remote.
He now also makes sure that you know when he DOESN'T like whats going on. Like screaming bloody murder when putting on a shirt. Or sucking his lips tight when were trying to give him his constipation meds, thus creating a big sticky mess. His sleep schedule has become unpredictable as well, where, he would have a long good night sleep today, but would wake up every hour the entire night on the next.

Right now, if I could describe being a new parent in three words it would be, "The Good(milestones & laughs), The Bad(tantrums), and the Ugly(diapers)". But, "The Good" definitely out weighs the bad and the ugly like a hundred fold.

To be completely honest, my wife and I were still adjusting with this "ADULTING" thing, when "ADULTING-PARENTING" phase happened. But we are learning as we go. There are times when we become so tired, and we daydream about the nights when we would just go out for drinks and watch movies whenever, but seeing your son sleeping peacefully at 7pm really makes the small sacrifices, so worth it.

So, like what I've been saying, we are new at this. I'll be sharing with you as much as i can about this parenting thing, and hopefully be helpful to those in the same situation as we are or were, but also if you have become a pro at this already, then please please do share your wisdom!

 We're all in this together.
