Watch as "half-blind father" (from a hornet sting in the eye!) heroically saves his little baby Josie from a runaway stroller! We even have the security footage to prove it! 😂 My favorite part is that our dog, Watson, just watches everything happen and does nothing. When the stroller starts…
Welcome back to "Gray Hair & Daycare," where Gen X dads Frank and Carlo navigate the wild world of dad life! This week, after battling some technical glitches, the duo celebrates Frank's 56th birthday. As older dads , they bring a wealth of experience and humor in life to a…
We always joked that if our baby got my torso and Kelly's legs, she'd be 6'5". I'm 6'0" and my friend is 5'6", but we wear the same pants inseam because I have a very long torso. It seems the baby is on the same path, with little stubby legs…
Our baby is paying a lot more attention to the dogs now, especially Watson. She just pulled a clump of hair right out of him! We have to work on that. Babies' nails are like little razor blades, and they will cut you to pieces. It's like a cat! Has…
As a new Dad, I've been wondering about our baby's hair! She had very little at first, and m wife's sister didn't have hair until she was almost three years old! I was so relieved to see it finally starting to come in over the last couple of weeks. Carlo's…
This week on the podcast, Frank and Carlo are back with a look at the chaos that is dad life! They're sharing some hard-won fatherhood advice and covering everything from the Winnie the Pooh nursery project to a harrowing hornet attack on a stroller. Join them as they discuss the…
My baby is more engaged now, and she's been a great motivator for me to start a diet! She'll reach up and grab a handful of my "double chin" when I'm holding her, and I'm just like, "Oh, it's horrible!" My beard is one thing, but the "chin chub" is…
With a 19-year age gap, I've always looked up to my brother more like a dad. I thought maybe he'd give me some guidance on fatherhood, but I got nothing. But after his visit, I found out through my sister that he said how nice it was to see me…
I'm ashamed to admit this, but when it was time for my baby's shot, I literally started fading into the distance! I didn't want my baby to associate anything negative with me. "Look at your mother and the nurse," I thought. "It's your mother who's doing this to you!" It's…

I always thought a pirate ship would be fun to build for a little boy, but now I'm thinking more of a whimsical castle for my daughter. Something with a drawbridge and a moat. It might be big , so big I'll need a permit from the town offices! It's…
As a dad, I sit there with my little exacto knife, building a mouse house/dollhouse size log cabin for my daughter, and think, "I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm so happy to do it." She's going to believe that there's a little mouse that lives there. I just…
I'm building a magical little mouse house in the baseboard for my daughter! It will have a tiny door, a bay window, and a little log cabin diorama inside. The fireplace will light up, and the furniture is dollhouse-sized. The door is a little fairy door I ordered from England.…
As a new dad, I feel younger than before my baby was born. But it's also got me playing the "dadding" math game, where I calculate my age for future milestones. Like, I'll be 67 the next time I renew my license! My brother does the same thing, but with…
As a Gen X dad, you can't help but play the number game with your kids. Carlo remembers thinking he'd be 40 when his son started kindergarten. Now he's 56 and just had his youngest at a graduation party. The question is, how old will I be when my baby…
I'm in uncharted territory with the podcast! My wife, Kelly, hasn't seen the last episode, so I'm emboldened to share this story. At a graduation party, I got us a plate of delicious food to share, but Kelly "proceeded to kill the whole plate" while I held the baby! 😂…
Our baby is so giggly and happy, especially when we play music! Her latest obsession? "Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter! Now we're playing all sorts of Cuban beats and Desi Arnaz, and she loves it! Her little toesies look like flippers when we take selfies, but her giggles melt…

My baby is 15 pounds, and carrying her in that baby carrier already feels too heavy! I'm feeling like I need to start working out and doing "farmer carries" just to handle it! We saw a woman holding a 35-pound toddler at Mass and thought, "That is tough!" Remember carrying…
Diapers, Desitin, and wipes are a continual flow, and Desitin is expensive! My wife, Kelly, called me out for playing "fanny roulette" – changing a diaper without another one underneath, risking a huge mess! It's like Russian roulette, but with diapers! 😂 Have you ever played "fanny roulette" and regretted…

Tummy time is paying off, and our baby is getting so strong! She's more upright, looking around, and her grasping is developing. Sometimes, when she grabs something and looks serious, she looks just like Churchill! "We will fight them in the skies, we will fight them on the beaches!" She's…
I've been creating a special path through the woods for our baby, complete with a makeshift walking bridge over the watershed! Eventually, she'll have her own trail through the meadow, down to the pond, and back to the house. It's something Kelly and I get to curate, and to her,…
