It's my tribute to the great Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar— I love that guy! You'll notice the BabyBloggery.com on the video. That address will also bring you to this website. It's purpose is to drive parents (pun intended) to our <a href="http://www.mydailydiaper.com/baby-bloggery-forum">Forum</a> so they can share funny and embarrassing stories about their kids. </p>
<p>Go ahead and sign up for the forum now.&nbsp; It's brand spanking new (I don't condone spanking). In a few years you'll be able to say, "I was their from the start!"</p>
<p>And Sammy, if you ever get this, I'd love to have you post some stories too! You Rock, Dude! </p>

The big "One" (I'm trying to do that quote thing with my fingers). Just reflecting back on the awesome year...lots of pooping, a little crying and a whole lot sleeping. But seriously, I've enjoyed a trip to San Diego, Las Vegas, Disneyland and Hollywood. I met some really cool friends at day care and at church, but my favorite is the family time. All of the Grandparents are great, my parents are pretty cool (you know—<img alt="" src="http://www.mydailydiaper.com/Websites/mydailydiaper/Images/BlogPics/EatingCake.jpg" style="width: 0px; height: 0px; ;" />for parents), and I have lots of fun Aunts and Uncles. </p><p>They all came over for a little birthday party. It was perfect...  Just family and a few dear friends. Nothing crazy like bounce houses and annoying clowns. I'm only one for Pete's sake. My Grandmother made an incredible chocolate cake with white icing. I was trying to eat it but everyone was taking pictures and laughing, so I decided to give them a show. I smeared a little cake on my gob, tossed a few chunks on the floor, raised my cake-covered hands in the air and yelled something unintelligible (there's a first time for everything). Looking forward to year 2. </p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/my-first-birthday</guid></item><item><title>What the?</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/what-the</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:23:55 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>I'll keep this short as I am still digesting the information.

Mimi (my Grandmother) made an awesome Pirate outfit. My Dad and Papa dressed up like pirates too and we handed out candy to the little monsters that came to our house.   I'm still trying to figure out why the little kids in costumes got the really good candy (candy bars, Rolos, Peanut Butter cups, etc.) and the teenagers in football jerseys and the mothers collecting candy for their 2 month old or even unborn babies got the crappy stuff...you know...the Jolly Ranchers and the jaw-cramping plastic-tasting taffy. Maybe in a few years it will all make sense.</p><p>My dad carved up a Union Jack pumpkin in keeping with the pirate theme.</p><p>Hope you had a fun and safe Halloween.</p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p><p></p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/first-halloween</guid></item><item><title>Online Shopping</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/online-shopping</link><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:56:50 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>I've gotta a lot of catching up to do. Halloween has come and gone, my 1st birthday has passed, I took a fews days of vacation and I haven't blogged in a few weeks. I've done a lot of work behind the scenes setting up an online store with My Daily Diaper and Baby Bloggery merchandise. With just 17 years left before I start college, I better start saving now. Check out the new <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/mydailydiaper">MyDailyDiaper Store</a>. </p><p>If you like something buy it!

Creatovision has designed logos for all kinds of companies and I knew from their portfolio that they do good work. </p><p>It was a fun process. They asked me all kinds of questions about me, my website, my target audience, then came back with a page full of hand-drawn sketches and had a story for each one. I liked them all, but there were 2 that really struck a chord with me (#4 and #10 <em><span style="font-size: small; ;">see photo on right</span></em>).  We talked about these and created a hybrid of the two. The result is what you see at the top of the website.</p><p>At first glance what appears to be steaming cup of coffee is really a steamy diaper. Behind it, the words, "Hot off the Press".  That's freakin' hilarious!  I think I might have to slap this logo on some SWAG and sell it on my website. Thanks Creatovision!</p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/my-new-logo</guid></item><item><title>The Pumpkin Patch</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/the-pumpkin-patch</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:52:20 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://www.mydailydiaper.com/Websites/mydailydiaper/Images/BlogPics/Pumpkin1.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 242px; float: left; margin-right: 24px; margin-bottom: 50px; ;" />What a great weekend!  Mom and Dad took me to my very first pumpkin patch and we picked out 5 pumpkins to bring home. I'm not sure what they are for, but it looks like I'll get to make one heck of a mess!</p><p>My Dad seems to be an expert at picking out just the right pumpkin — shape, size, color and cleanliness. He also smacked a few while holding it next to his ear. I guess I still have a lot to learn. </p><p>There were also some farm animals that people were hand-feeding like chickens, goats, and sheep. They were a little smelly, so I didn't do that. </p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak </p><p> </p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/the-pumpkin-patch</guid></item><item><title>Stroller-Jacked!</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/have-you-seen-my-stroller</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:45:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" src="http://mydailydiaper.publishpath.com/Websites/mydailydiaper/Images/BlogPics/stroller.jpg" style="width: 330px; height: 360px; float: right; margin-left: 12px; ;" />Back in early June (2009), my Mom and Dad and my Grandparents (on my Dad's side) took me to lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe at Downtown Disney. That's in Anaheim for you East Coasters. At Disneyland there's a rule— you park your stroller with the other 150 strollers in the designated stroller area and you can leave some stuff like binkis, rattles and what not, but take your cameras, cell phones, etc with you. That's the rule. It's the honor system and we've done it a hundred times.</p><p>My Mom and Dad unloaded everything including the car seat that goes from the car to the stroller very nicely. When we came out from lunch, my stroller wasn't there! We look down the rows of parked buggies and lo and behold, the identical stroller. Not quite identical... it was really beat up and covered in Lord knows what, and there were some obvious girl toys in the bottom. </p><p>Some seriously inconsiderate family, upgraded!  I was stroller-jacked! Can you believe it?  The worst part is that this parent (or lack there of), taught their sponge of a toddler that this was OK! Fortunately the only thing we left in the stroller was a tin of Altoids.</p><p>Every once in a while we see someone with the same make and model, and we always check the zippered pocket located under the handle. The zipper was broken on mine... the only thing wrong with the stroller. </p><p>Last month my Dad's friend was playing at the Brea Jazz Festival (the Kyle Crane Band), and we see this stroller making its way through the crowd. Ooooh, could this be the one?  It's relatively clean. As it passed, the 3 of us all checked out the tail end of the stroller like construction workers at a job site, and in deed- the zipper was busted open!  My Dad politely approached the young father pushing his son and asked, "That's a cool stroller! Did it come with a tin of Curiously Strong Altoids?"   The man looked puzzled. But I couldn't tell if he was puzzled by such a strange question, or confused that he had been made. We may never know. But there possibly goes one man, pushing the next generation criminal in a stroller. How sad.</p><p>Somehow, we must forgive them and move on. Perhaps they needed it more than us. And no worries, I'm cruising around in a sweet new 3-wheel Jeep--with a combination cable lock.</p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; ;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: small; ;"><br /></span></span></p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/have-you-seen-my-stroller</guid></item><item><title>Faux-Hawks are Faux Cool</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/faux-hawks-are-faux-cool</link><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:28:46 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<div style="padding-top: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; background-image: none; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; ;"><p>This will be short and sweet... what's the deal with faux-hawks?  There's a new kid in daycare sporting one of these.  Did this 3 year old wake up and say, "I'd like a hair due that reflects the punk rock era of the 70's."  I think not... <strong>MOM!</strong></p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p></div><p></p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/faux-hawks-are-faux-cool</guid></item><item><title>My Daily Diaper Logo</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/my-daily-diaper-logo</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:26:50 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>I spent some time yesterday with the creative staff at Creatovision in Fullerton discussing the new logo design for MyDailyDiaper.com.  I can't wait to see what they come up with.  It takes about a week, so as as soon as I approve the final design, I'll add it to my website it all by myself.</p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Zak</p><p></p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/my-daily-diaper-logo</guid></item><item><title>The Diaper Sausage</title><link>http://www.mydailydiaper.com/the-diaper-sausage</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:11:26 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Zak</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://mydailydiaper.publishpath.com/Websites/mydailydiaper/Images/BlogPics/DiaperSausage.jpeg" style="width: 320px; height: 152px; float: right; margin-left: 4px; ;" alt="The Diaper Sausage" longdesc="My Daily Diaper by YouCantrol" />Wow!  I'm almost 11 months old and I still can't change my own diaper.  I don't know if it's the Velcro straps or my under developed opposable thumbs. Who knows...maybe in a few months.</p><p>Anyway, after my Dad changed my diaper this morning, I climbed up on the changing table and looked over the edge to see what he was doing with my poopy diaper.  He lifted the lid on this white round tube and forced it inside. I cringed at the way he man-handled my masterpiece. </p><p>He mumbled something about it being full then put me on the floor with my toys.  He proceeded to open this thing up and took out a huge cluster of diapers... like 3 or 4 days worth!

I just want a sweet looking website that I can easily make changes to without having to ask my dad or pay that kid down the street. </p><p>So I'm at my friends house and he's showing me how he trades stocks online, and we get to talking about how easy that is. And I say, "Speaking of easy, you know of an easy way I can get my website up and running?"  And he goes on about <a href="http://www.youcantrol.com">YouCantrol</a>, and I say, "You Control" and he says "NO. YOU CANtrol, like You-Can-Control!"  And then he tells me about how YouCantrol will build the site that I want, then make it so I can change any of the content whenever I want... and it's easy!" Easy as shoving one of the blocks in the hole.</p><p>So today, I got my new YouCantrol Website. I figured I'd create a blog and event calendars and maybe even a photo gallery so my family can easily keep up with me on the go.
