I've been informed recently that I don't blog enough about DRI (daddy related issues) and my little Meg. Mostly this is because I get the feeling that the majority of people that read stuff here are looking for geek-tastic entries or rants about random stuff - rather than my thought's on parenthood. Still, here I am, talking about it.

Being a dad is like learning to drive. Most of the time you spend making mistakes and worrying if you did any damage, but just now and again you feel totally in control and it all seems to make sense. Ok, poor analogy. How about pasta - I'm sure I can relate anything to pasta. Don't worry.. I'm not going to try.

The point being that I don't often think I'm doing well being a Dad. I've been trying to be very good with computer activities - staying off the computer and spending time with my daughter. It's not that tricky to be honest given how much fun playing with Meg is. I spend a lot of time acting the fool, dancing and singing trying to keep the little poop machine under control. I make up 10 songs a day just to keep her smiling - it seems to work but I wonder how much damage I'm doing to her musical ability with my rather off key singing.

So, whats going on with Meg? Well she's just started weening - meaning she's eating more solid food, thought the white paste that passes for rice isn't terribly impressive. It was my honour to be the first one to get her to eat anything - but I'm sure thats forgotten by now. She's also trying really hard to roll over - yeah I know thats not too hard but she's only ickle!

What else? Musically she's really into Mika. Love's the album every song, but like me hates those tracks with big gaps in them :)

In short, she's small, adorable and pukes everywhere everyday. Every day I worry, and every day she makes me laugh. I'm guessing thats how it's meant to be but like everything baby related - you can never be sure.
