My son is now nearly 11 months old, and every day he amazes and humbles me. He is teaching me patience and compassion, and helping me relearn the joys of being a child. I look into his eyes and I can see myself, and I can also see his mother. He's developing a strong sense of humor, and he is starting to speak to us, even though it's still complete gibberish. It's hard to put into words how. proud I am of how he's growing up, and who he's turning into. He's such a joyous, loving little guy.
He loves to pull himself up to standing on anything he can reach, cruise around and throw everything on the ground. He also loves his books, which I arranged by color the other day. This face, it is everything to me.
- I miss those days. Kids change you for the better, for sure.aslip
- he's so proud of his books! awesomehotroddy
- Nice post!stoplying
- Every day at that age you get to see them learn something new. Seeing their wonder and enthusiasm really helps dull the cynicism for a while. :-)PhanLo
- Adorable, dude!! We may not see eye to eye much but I hope to fuck this kid gets a great world to grow up in, mono. <3 He's already in Awesome U too! Smart! :)PonyBoy
- Thanks everyone. PonyBoy, although we might not see eye-to-eye, I always respect your point of view. My life is dedicated to giving this kid the best upbringingmonospaced
- Well said! I’m also the proud dad of an almost-11-month-old and it's a fantastic age.Daithi
- That's a lie! There's no way he went to university!pango

A bonnie bairn, mono - good job!Nairn - Great stuff!HijoDMaite
- Nice post mono! My son is 17 months old and I've been teaching him what his feet are, and his nose, stomach, ears, etc.mg33

- Haha nice.monospaced
- such a wonderful age :) my daughter is 15 now, and my son is 12.. and all the wonderful moments of fatherhood continue :)exador1
- It's amazing as they get older, and have their own identities, their own likes and dislikes...exador1
- my daughter definitely got the art and design talents, and has a HUGE love for 70s and 80s music (massive Supertramp fan)exador1
- and both kids have amazing senses of humour... grew up watching SNL and Monty Python etc...exador1
- When i looked at the photo of your boy, all i could think of was, 'man...he's at the very beginning of such a wonderful adventure' :)exador1

Just dropped my daughter off at nursery. We were running a bit late so I ended up hoisting her on top of my shoulders and leg it so that I could there in time. It might not be common knowledge, but it is fucking hot out there today, so despite my only lugging her a couple of hundred metres, I was drenched in sweat. Got in a minute or so early, so had to wait with other parents 'til the doors opened. Put daughter on ground to unpack her bag and she announces, loud enough for everyone to hear "MY PUSSY IS SO WET".
I couldn't help but laugh, but the weird woman who either works in a local pub or just spends her entire existence smoking outside of it, gave me a less than appreciative look.

- Yikes! LOLAkagiyama
- Yikes! I don’t have daughters but I thought they all used cute code names for their girly parts?_niko
- Is that the word you use at home?monospaced
- Yes, yes it is.Nairn
- LOL. That's the funnier part.
You've only got yourself to blame.palimpsest - Does her mum call it fica?palimpsest
- Italians have a hundred different names for pussy. I don't what else I'd call it in English. Cute code names are ..weird, everything else is too biological.Nairn
- 'Pussy is pussy' as I once said to a friend who regretted (or at least claimed to) sleeping with an ugly girl.Nairn
- Anyway, better than the time my daughter said "you cunt!" to my Dad when he didn't give her something from the fridge. That was a hard one to explain... .Nairn
- Notwithstanding her entirely correct usage.Nairn
- Your should tell her not to use that word in public anymore. The proper word is moist.palimpsest
- Don't know your story, is there no Mrs Nairn involved?sea_sea

- 'My fanny is so wet!' would be as funny, in my book :)Nairn
- Hahah yup.microkorg
- LOLsMrT
- What do Italians call pussy?cherub
- I heard they call it 'slitta' in swedish. Or another word that means roughly "the trail that snails make"cherub
- What should she have said instead?drgs
- When I think about it, Nairn always refers to his other half as "partner"...drgs
- it shows nairn lolsea_sea
- Jesus! Haha. Poor lass, as it has been totally boiling today. Stay cool, gang!Ianbolton
- I've always found it sus that he refers to his baby momma as his pardner.palimpsest

My son is 7 months old today. He's taken a cross country trip to California already and has his first two teeth. He's feeling more and more like a littler person and less like a baby, now that he's engaging with us and there's some true back and forth going on. He prefers to try standing vs sitting up, and is already crawling. His favorite food is avocado, and he enjoys long strolls through the city.
- Handsome lad, mono.BonSeff
- Gets even better. My son is almost 5 and we're homies, do all kinds of cool activities together without Mom.davey_g
- What a happy kid :)
He'll be so embarrassed at 15 when he hears he made front page, hehehnotype - Heartbreaker for sure!!HijoDMaite

This past month in quarantine has been some amazing bonding time with my family. My little girl has taken to woodworking. She helped build a workshop and even created her own little table to give to Grandma as a gift. Work from home is AMAZING!

The kid decided he wanted to study filming after he leaves for school. So, I've been spending this year teaching him how to handle a camera, lighting, etc. Today I didn't need to teach him anything and I was his lighting guy... Really proud.
Got lucky and found our fuzzy reflection in one of the videos we shot. Priceless.

I took my daughter to an awesome indoor rock climbing gym in Chicago yesterday. She has been really interested in climbing since watching all of the climbing events in the Olympics, but it only ever climbed on smaller kid friendly stuff at a place in our town.
She LOVED it. I rented a harness and shoes for myself because I was so envious of how much fun she was having, so it was an awesome thing for us to do together and encourage each other.
A bigger indoor gym will be open in about 20 minutes from us in January, and I’m willing to bet that we will have a membership there. It was just so much fun.
- nice :)sted
- wow! She's pretty high up there on that first shot... pretty awesome for a kid to go all out on a wall like that her first time... what a little badass!PonyBoy
- Cool activity. Nice!stoplying
- Oh man, climbing is such rad thing for families to do together...right on.JackRyan
- Thanks everyone! I climbed once at a gym I went to over 10 years ago, but never did it again because I didn't want to mess up my fingers for playing guitar.mg33
- I was in my band at the time.mg33
- She's such a brave kid and I was so happy to see her determination. I like to look for activities that involve problem solving, failure, and persistence,mg33
- and this has those in spades. I'd love to make it a regular thing, get trained to belay, and really put some time into it. It was a blast.mg33
- Since we went I've definitely had that "gonna try X next time..." like figuring out a route differently, not fearing a jumping lunge upwards to a higher hold.mg33
- We came home and watched Free Solo to watch his actual climb at the end. Seen it so many times, always amazed at his achievement.mg33
- One of the coolest hobbies I took up w/my partner right b4 the pandemic & I need to get over it and touch walls again. I miss it. also best arms ever!shellie

My son just turned into a teenager last week. Instead of a traditional birthday celebration I took him snowboarding.
In my opinion, it's a better way to celebrate the transition from a boy into a young adult.
3 full days of intense snowboarding in the mountains of Vermont was the best birthday ever according to him. Considering that he has been snowboarding for a year and a half only, he could keep up pretty good and made me proud.
Even the imitation of a birthday cake made of donuts, ice cream cake and Oreo cookie tasted better than most of the cakes he had.
- Awesome! I was at Okemo last week Fri and Sat with some friends. Which mountain were you at?stoplying
