Choose the outfit!

We have decided to leave the initial fashion of our boy to you; the reader. On the right of the blog you'll see a poll. You are voting on what outfit our boy is wearing when he comes home for the first time.

Aliens v. Bugs!

Li'l Tiger!

Thanks to several friends and family, Boy Kelly now has a good collection of Who-Dey gear! I was in a Cincy Babies R Us last weekend and Carson Palmer Onesies were $31! Thirty-one dollars for a onesie made of jersey material that will fit him for 4 weeks and I STILL wanted to buy it.

Actually, some of my regular jerseys were good for about 4 weeks...stupid Odell Thruman.

An early name has done an end-around and moved back into the top position! Will it have the staying power? Find out in 5 weeks!

Another great ad! I am a Toyota man but I hope to avoid the minivan route at all costs.

Jack Sack

Along with the name of this blog I had decided I wanted this sling diaper bag a long time ago. Luckily, since I am the father of a 2-pound eggplant, my wife got me the bag for Father's Day. Woot. My buddy recently informed me that it is called a "Jack Sack" after Jack Bauer on 24.



I'll go with that description even though I'm sure Jack wasn't packing diapers in his. Although dirty diapers would be a sweet interrogation tool. His checklist on the inner flap probably looked different than mine too.

No way that just happened

I saw an print-ad for these and quickly rolled my eyes. There are plenty of other ways to spend money as parents-to-be. Still, this commercial is awesome.

Nursery Update

The nursery is coming along. We got some of the furniture delivered (by me) from BrUs a couple of weeks back. Here is our dresser:

The clothes in front of the dresser are from Jamie's coworker. She gave us a kid-ton of second-hand little boy clothes which is going to help out a lot. Our crib still looks like a cardboard box. I'm not assembling it until I get the painting done. Hoping to get the room primed this weekend. Here are the 3, very different colors we are looking at:


We've pretty much decided on the green because it seems fun.

Daycare Idol

Jamie and I have seen 3 different day cares now and feel qualified enough to make snap judgements. The following DayCare could be a perfectly fine and affordable establishment but it never got the chance.

I set up a visit the day after Memorial Day. He said it would be no problem, just call on my way over. So I called on my way over and as I was driving by and as I pulled into the the run-down vacant lot across the street. All I got on each call was the "We're-away-for-Memorial-Day" message.

I was waiting for Jamie to arrive but had already decided this wasn't for Baby-Kelly. I appreciate the $10 they spent on the sign for the day-care and the playground forged from raided dumpsters but it was not for us.



No idea how many words "daycare" is btw. I took the shotgun approach hoping one of them was used correctly.
