In case you’re new here, or have just recently joined us on our journey through parenthood, we welcomed our first child, Jayden Elijah, into the world on April 26th, 2008. Since then, everything has changed for the both of us; priorities, responsibilities, and life as a whole. Being first-time parents, everything is new to us, and we’re enjoying every second of it…
…which is why we’re at it again! With Father’s Day coming up in a little over a week, we’ve decided to throw a giveaway (like we did for Mother’s Day) in honor of all the daddies out there enjoying what Daddy calls “one of the most wonderful and fulfilling roles ever”, Daddyhood!
“The day Jayden was born, a realization came over me: I now have a human life that depends on my well being. For that reason, I have made numerous changes, big and small, in my life. I now eat healthier. No more downing three Whoppers, fries, and a bowl of ice cream all in one sitting. I now drive safer. No more rolling through stop signs and racing to beat the light when it turns yellow. I now work harder. Providing Jayden with the best life I can is now my number one priority. I believe that I am a better person because of my son.”
“I love it when I hear his little coo sounds in the background when I make calls to Mommy from work. I love it when he wakes up crying, and all it takes to soothe him back to sleep is his head lying on my chest. I love it how he curls his tiny toes every time I touch his feet. I love it when I touch his cheek with the tip of my nose and he gets excited and tries to suck on it because he thinks he’s at the “boobie bar”. I love it when I put my finger in his little hand, and he clinches on to it tightly and never lets go, as if he wants me to stay with him forever. As I type this, he is lying next to me smiling in his sleep. I wouldn’t give up any of this for the world.”

How To Enter
There are three ways you can enter this giveaway, and everyone is eligible! You don’t have to own a blog and you don’t have to be a daddy to enter! If you’d like to be included in this giveaway, here’s how:
1. Post a comment explaining what daddyhood means to you. If you’re a mommy, or even if you don’t have any children, explain what daddyhood means to you from your perspective. (Only one comment per person, please!)
2. Blog about this giveaway. We’d love to be able to reach as many daddies as possible so that we can make this Father’s Day a little bit more special for them this year. With your help by blogging about this giveaway, we know that the possibilities are endless!
3. Place our giveaway button on your blog. Please let us know in the comments if you’ve placed a button on your blog so that we can count that as an entry in your name. Whether you decide to place a button on your sidebar or include it in a post, both are acceptable ways to be included. In fact, anywhere on your blog is fine! Here is the giveaway button:
You can enter by just one method, two, or even all three methods. It’s up to you! Each method of entry is worth one entry in this giveaway, for a maximum of three possible entries. This giveaway will end at 5:00PM CST on Father’s Day, Sunday June 15th, 2008, of which comments will be closed at that time. Yeah, we know it’s weird to end the giveaway on Father’s Day. But try viewing winning as “part one” of the gift giving process, and receiving the gift as “part two”! Winners will be chosen and announced here on Mommy Daddy Blog later on that night.
Good luck everyone, and Happy Father’s Day to every Daddy out there enjoying the blessing that is Daddyhood!

Daddyhood means the passing down of family traditions and learning the age old lessons learned by years of experience.
From where I’m sitting, fatherhood means taking a new look at the world once you lay eyes on your child or children. Your heart beats a little differently and you really start to appreciate those kid-giggles and screams of delight.

Daddyhood means being a good role model and a good provider.
It also means teaching your children love, respect and self-worth.
Nice prizes
Did you say “coffee?”
Enjoy, Barbara

I know that my husband was scared when I was pregnant with our first baby, he was scared that he wouldn’t be a good dad, scared that he wouldn’t know what to do. But I remember the look on his face the moment he saw his daughter, it was like he just knew it would all be OK. He has been such an amazing husband and father, and his daughters just adore their daddy. Daddy’s seem to have such a special bond with their babies that no one can understand.
I’m not really sure what “daddyhood” means, but I know that when a man becomes a father he takes on a whole new role, new responsibilities and becomes an even more amazing person. They nurture, care, and love. They help teach what is right from wrong.
For those dads who have sons they show them how to treat and respect women by showing their sons how they love their wives. And the same if they have daughters, their daughters see how daddy treats mommy and they know that they want to alter find a man who will treat them like they are the world.
My husband always puts me and the girls first and never thinks of himself, he is a selfless, loving caring man and daddy.
I would love to enter your giveaway, I think that my hubby would love the watch because he is a sushi chef and sadly his watch got lost in our move last month. He needs a new watch, not to just keep track of the time at work, but he also is in charge of breaks, and HAS to know the time at ALL times and it’s been hard for him lately with out one.
thank you so much!

I think daddyhood is all about providing love, care, and guidance, just like mommyhood. My hubby is great at daddyhood. He helps out, he’s a great playmate, and provides well, so I can stay home and be the primary caregiver. I think daddy’s who stay home rock, too.
