Vloggin' Vednesday "Daddy Q & A"

This week I answer some questions that we written in over the weekend. ***Bonus Below

***I had a question come in right as I was posting this video up, so it didn't make it on film, I figured I would answer it in text form at least...
Q: "I'm not sure what my opinion is on people blogging about the rather boring details of life with a kid... I mean, to us parents it's an incredible journey, but it isn't really a unique experience for a human being. Do you blog for your own sake, like people who keep diaries or baby books as a way to remember? Or is it for the audience? Or do you blog for Addy's sake, writing what you think she would love to hear should she ever read it? Do you ever feel like you're in competetion (not the right word but close enough) with other parents or bloggers or parent blogges? What if everyone in the world wrote about their life in a blog? Or do you honestly feel you're different? I don't understand this trend, but being the nosy-pants I am, I follow yours & a few others every few weeks. I even tried to create my own but cannot seem to find anything in my own modest yet enjoyable existence that I'd ever assume anyone else wanted to read... I find your day trips, vacations (hey we both went to NC!) and whatnot alluring.."

A: I agree with you about the parenting journey being an amazing experience for anyone that is
actively taking part.I am sometimes torn about what this blog does exactly. I do consider it to
be a diary of the first years of my daughters life, and mine as a Daddy. And some day this will be
an amazing thing to show Addy. Over the last year I have been gaining daily readers, I figured that
maybe it would be fun to add other parts of myself into the blog. So what tends to happen is me
trying to share things that I think are interesting or tips/ tricks or even parenting experience that could
help a  soon to bee (or brand new) parent. It also seems that there are TONS of people doing blogs
about their daily life, and I have found a lot written by moms, but not as many by Dads, so that is
something that makes it a little different. I think that doing your own blog can in some ways make life
more adventurous, because of the constant need to write. It doesn't have to be crazy life changing
adventures, but seeing all of the fun, small, good things in life can make your life ever changing and
that can be adventurous.

Vloggin' Vednesday "What's New"

So, we have recently been trying to have Addy start to feed herself. It's been very slow moving with getting her to eat anything besides breast milk. I have vid for you this week of the messiness that ensued.

Vloggin' Vednesday "Strollers"

This week's theme is "strollers". I put together a little review of our Uppababy Vista stroller and had a little fun with it. Which stroller are you loving? As you may have read on my guest post on The Paper Mama, becoming a Dad can make you have a new appreciation for the many makes and models of these little baby cruisers. Hope to hear from you guys too... Talk to you soon. - ADDY'S DADDY

Vlog Theme For Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is...

 Tomorrow's Vloggin' Vednesday theme is "Strollers" let us know what you've learned / experienced. Reviews, Questions... Don't forget to get your vlogs together and link them up here tomorrow. It's been raining here all day, and I really wanted to do a video outside, so I'll probably get the video done tomorrow morning. So look for the post in the early afternoon.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "About Tattoos"

This week's theme is Tattoos. Tomorrow, my Brother is getting his first tattoo, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to talk to him about any questions or concerns he may have. I was slightly shocked a couple of weeks ago when my brother came to me and said that he had made his mind up and he wanted to schedule a tattoo appointment. I helped him hook up with an artist and get an appointment locked in quickly (He was booked out 'til October, but I have some pull : ) The following is a video of our discussion on getting a first tattoo.

Vloggin' Vednesday "Pictures on Video"

I feel like I was a little pressed for time this week. I could have been a lot more creative, but I decided to share some of my own baby photos and compare them to a couple of Addy's photos... with a little awkward "Don Banter"which I'm sure that you've come to expect : ) Thanks for stopping by, be sure to check out all of the linked videos below.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "Birthday Wishes"

This week We put together another little game. I had to look up what the name of this old game was, and how to make it. Again, my wife saved me with some participation.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "Noteable Blog Post"

This post definitely took a couple of takes. Not so much because I was messing up what I was saying... but because I cried near the end on two takes... yeah I said it. That is part of the reason I chose this post to read, It was fun to write, and more fun to read and has some emotion in there (yuk). I decided to read it kind of like a moron (as you will soon see). IF you want to read along you can do it here.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "10 years ago"

This weeks video was so much fun to put together, and very hard to edit down. I even had to split it into 2 vids. I promise that it is worth watching the whole thing... my wife is so cute in it. You will get a lot of insight into us 10 years ago, and hopefully get some good lolz. Thanks for Checking out Vloggin' Vednesdays, and extra special thanks for everyone participating.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "Let's Talk About Music"

I know this Vlog theme is titled "let's talk about music" but, I feel like I have so much to say about music that I couldn't really think of what to talk about... weird? Sorry, I didn't give much of an in depth discussion on music that I listen to, if you are curious, write me some questions... I'd love to answer.

Vloggin' Vednesdays "Significant Others"

This week I'm focusing a little more on my wife. We discuss when we first met and travel to the location of our first kiss. And yes, I do say "video taping".

Vloggin' Vednesdays "How To..."

Another Vednesday,  Another Vlog. This was a pretty fun one to make. I hope you guys noticed the switch over to blogger, I want to see your Vlogs linked up. The new Vloggin' Vednesday page is up here with new themes. With the switch, I am starting over with followers, and I have lost all of my comments, so please follow us, and give us some comment love. Can't wait to see everyones Vids... Keep 'em coming.

Vloggin' Vednesday "Guilty Pleasures"

I have definitely meant for these themes to be open for interpretation and creativity. This video doesn't necessarily show my guilty pleasures (I tried to think of good ones, but I just don't really have any good ones) but it does show some pleasures that I am guilty of... This week was tough for getting good ideas, but this will still get some chuckles I hope.

Vloggin' Vednesday "Q & A Day"

Let me start off this Vloggin' Vednesday with a warning... my video this week just may be the most ridiculous thing you have ever seen. It was a BLAST making it, Rach and I were pretty much Dying the whole time we were filming and editing. I hope you have fun watching it. I have to say thanks to my wife for helping me with this ridiculous idea, you are such a good sport hun, I Love You. I don't know how I turned such a beautiful woman into a pencil neck geek. Don't forget to link your Vlogs below... and then scroll down a little further to vote for me : ) Also, if you are interested, I posted up some funny outtakes (featuring one of our loud cats) ... but they are for AFTER the real video.
