American Idol's Phil Stacey: I just miss my family

McKayla started crawling while I was here. And when I saw her in Florida, my wife [Kendra] started feeding her solid food and I was like, 'What are you doing?' She was like, 'It's time, honey. We can do that now.'

Phil, 29, says it's difficult to be away from his family - which also includes daughter Chloe, 3 - for so long. The three have joined him for a few stops, but otherwise keep in touch through the phone because "there's really not a whole lot I can do." However, the singer is hoping to get an upgrade in the technology department soon.

I'm about to buy them an Apple computer so we can do iChat and actually see each other when we're not together. But hopefully they'll be with me for most of it from here on out.
