The 19-Pound Baby

September 26th, 2009

Real Dad Blog Version:  Wow!  19-Pound baby!

19 Pound Baby - Dad Must Have Sore Arms

19 Pound Baby - Dad Must Have Sore Arms

I could not believe the headline when I was looking at Yahoo’s homepage.  I saw 19-pound Baby!  I told my wife that she should come and look at this picture.  She could not believe it either.  We thought our baby was big when he was born at almost 10 lbs.  My wife had it easy compared to this baby delivery!  (Don’t tell her I said that.)

Long story short, this baby was born via c-section in the country of Indonesia.  As you can see from the picture, he is 3 times the size of most babies.  He is the size of an average 9 month old!  You may read more at this Associated Content article.

I hope this dad has some arms on him, as he will be doing a lot of heavy lifting in the next few months.

My Dad – My Hero – Dad Hero #1

September 24th, 2009

Real Dad Blog Version: Every person needs a hero in his or her life. A dad hero makes things a lot easier growing up. My dad is my number one dad hero.

Growing up with a large family I learned a lot from my parents, especially my dad. There were good times and bad times. Bad times because my dad can be stubborn and I had a mouth that liked to talk back when it would have been best to keep it shut. There were a lot more good times. The good times make my dad a hero.

My dad is a hero because….

He brought:

  • The importance of religion in my life.
  • Me to all my traveling soccer games.
  • Me to the doctor when I broke my nose for the fourth time.

He taught me:

  • To work hard
  • Education is important.
  • Respect women.
  • How to drive.
  • To help people when they need help.

Gave me memories of:

  • His nerdy laugh.
  • Watching him try to jump when he couldn’t because he had polio twice when he was a child.
  • Supporting me in my goals.

Most importantly, he showed me how to a good dad. Dad, you are my number one dad hero. All the rest of the dads I will blog about are great but will never compare to you. My goal is to be a dad hero to my kids like you are to me.

Look forward to future posts about dad heros.  There are a lot of us that good role models and heros to our kids.
