Whenever I see a mom jogging and pushing her baby in a stroller I think, “Either she is trying to stay in shape, or she is stealing that baby!”

Watch your step
As I walk through my living room I feel as though I am behind enemy lines. Take one wrong step and you hear the subtle crack of a cheerio crushing beneath your heel. Brush against a toy as you pass and an annoyingly chipper musical alarm is set off. Set down your iPhone and turn your back for a second and it is whisked away by tiny ninja hands. My 11 month old son has booby trapped my entire...

A study shows that 1 out of 1 Chandler Smiths...
It’s pretty amazing to watch a living organism evolve right before your eyes. I know this because I have played the game Spore. But also I know this because this week Chandler made the official switch from crawling to walking.
He’s been experimenting with the upright mode of transportation for a few weeks now. He got to a point where he could definitely take steps, but walking still...
Something else that is funny →
Hey Tumblr followers, I would appreciate it if you would also follow my natesmithcomedy.com Tumblr. It’s a site where I mostly just post one liners (these days known as “status updates”). But don’t worry it won’t flood your dashboard. Although, on days I don’t manage to update here at IF, there’s a good chance I posted a little something at...
“My baby is a tech nerd.”
“As I walked around at work yesterday, something weird happened. I didn’t...”

What is Improvising Fatherhood?
I have to start this post by apologizing to two people. First to the anonymous person who submitted a question about what Chandler’s favorite toys are, and second to fellow Tumblr-er nicodemehedo who says IF “has kind of stopped being a parenting blog.”
First things first. An anonymous inquisitor asked
Does Chandler like the tent/tunnel/balls thing that you got him? I’m ...

Antique Blogs
I know what you’re thinking…”Oh, the guy gets 1000 followers and then he thinks he doesn’t need to write any more posts.” Well don’t worry. And stop being so snarky. I’m still here. I’d like to say the reason I haven’t posted in a few days is because I was busy thwarting an international crime ring while driving around in hot cars with fast...

Improvising Lullabies
This is a variation of the lullaby I often sing to Chandler as I put him to sleep. After a few verses it turns into a rhyming game and I always end up coming up with something new.
Chandler Chandler, it’s time to sleep.
Chandler Chandler, don’t make a peep.
Chandler Chandler, it’s time for bed.
Chandler Chandler, rest your little head.
Chandler Chandler, it’s time to...

Preparing for the 1st Birthday
Chandler is ten months old now, which means he’s only two months away from his first birthday. I know this because I looked it up. On a calendar. They say you can never have another first birthday. This a stupid saying, because you can’t have any of your other birthdays more than once either. But nevertheless, we want to make sure Chandler’s first birthday is one he never forgets. I can’t even...
“Today Chandler has taken more steps than a celebrity going through rehab.”

A night on our own
For the first time since Chandler was born, Ashley and I spent a night away from him. It was our six year anniversary and as a gift, Ashley’s parents gave us vouchers for a casino they had because they are Portland Trailblazer season ticket holders (GO BLAZERS!). So for our big night away from our baby, we stayed at the Spirit Mountain Casino, got $50 to play the slots with, and $75 to spend...
