We are going to focus on Dad a little today! So for our next piece of trivia, did you know that the average time it takes a man to change a diaper is faster than the average time it takes a woman? Men average 1 min 36 seconds to change a diaper while a woman takes 2 minutes 5 seconds. One suggestion was that men view diaper changing as a task to get done and women socialize with baby a little more in the process. Makes sense to me!
BabyGirl is due on January 14 which was also Keith's mom's birthday. So we are rooting for her to arrive on her due date. However - Do you know what percentage of babies arrive on their due date - register your guess on today's poll question!
Decorations/Favors
It has not been too hard to find Owl decorations - they are quite popular these days! And although most people would say crochet is not usually a guy activity - the Crochet Dude might beg to differ! Crochet Dude Link Todays favor is a cute crocheted Owl - and I actually made one!
Here is a cute granny square owl and a link to the free pattern to create it: Free Owl Granny Square Pattern
And here is a photo of the one I made (unfortunately not from a free pattern).
