Thought I’d post this while Daddy’s at work! LOL!!!

Edit by Daddy: Oh don’t worry, I have something up my sleeve for next week’s Flashback Friday. You’ll love it! >:-)

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!

We have a total of EIGHT NINE TEN gifts to be given away for Father’s Day! Take a peek at what there is to be won:

A gift that can’t be refused!
ONE lucky daddy will receive a GoodFather T-Shirt from Dr. MOZ! This t-shirt is perfect for the new daddy and a great way for wives to show their husbands what a “goodfather” he is! The winner will receive a short-sleeved t-shirt with the choice of a size between medium to 3xl.

I’ve been meaning to ask…
TWO lucky daddies will receive a Dad Relationship Keepsake Journal from Sand Dune Publishing Co.! These journals contain 35-45 questions that daddy can answer in his own handwriting. The journal is then given back to the son or daughter to cherish forever!

“Dude, I can see my reflection in your shoes!”
FIVE lucky daddies will receive Shine To Go Shoe Polisher from Kimberly-Clark! Keep daddy looking clean with this “on the go” shoe polisher! Available in black, brown, and clear, five winners will receive a set of all three colors!

Time to give that coffee a makeover!
ONE lucky daddy will receive a custom coffee mug from Jenera Healy Photography! The winner will be able to choose any photo from the Jenera Healy Photography gallery to be imprinted onto the cup! This gift is perfect for the daddies out there suffering from boring-coffee-mug-itis!

“Sir, do you have the time?” “Why yes I do!”
ONE lucky daddy will receive a Waveceptor Timepiece from Casio! With tons of features, including solar powered batteries and Atomic Timekeeping Technology, this timepiece will surely keep daddy happy (and on time!)! The winner will receive the WVA430J-1A model.

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:

<a href="http://mommydaddyblog.com/2008/06/05/celebration-of-daddyhood-fathers-day-giveaway" title="Celebration of Mommyhood Mother's Day Giveaway!" target="_blank"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y125/sheeniebabie/mdb/fathersdaygiveawaymommydaddyblog.gif" border="0" alt="Celebration of Daddyhood Father's Day Giveaway!" title="Celebration of Daddyhood Father's Day Giveaway!" /></a>

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!

Jayden seems to be growing a little plumper each and every day. He’s just about maxed out most of the newborn onesies that we received at our baby shower. I had to start pulling out the size 3 months. One set of onesies that we have in particular that are a size 3 months say “Thank Heaven For Little Boys”. I think they are cute. Daddy doesn’t agree with the quote, he says it seems like a shirt that Michael Jackson would wear, lol. Jayden also has a few yellow onesies with little chicks and turtles on them. Daddy doesn’t think they are “manly” enough. Since we go through 2-3 onesies a day, I don’t care. As long as Jayden’s clean and dry at that point, that’s all that matters.

To satisfy Daddy’s need to want to dress Jayden in more “manly” apparel, I’ve decided to do some window shopping online. And I think I found the perfect store, Uncommonly Cute.

If you’re looking for Baby Clothes with the cutesy trucks, ducks, or puppies, you won’t find them at Uncommonly Cute. At Uncommonly Cute, you’ll find hip apparel that reflects children’s unique personalities. My favorites are the Local Celebrity and keepin’ it real… real cute! tees! I also find the my grandma rocks tee hilarious because I know that my mother and Daddy’s mother would feel super old if Jayden wore it! There’s a rocking chair printed on it. I hope Daddy has a ball browsing Uncommonly Cute. I sure did, but I’m still going to dress Jayden in cutesy gear *pokes out tongue*! Shop for the little Rockstars and Divas in your life at Uncommonly Cute! A portion of sales profits go to Room to Grow and R Baby Foundation to cuties in need!
