i said i was going to cut out swearing before i got pregnant…
i said i was going to cut out swearing before my baby was born…
i said i was going to cut out swearing before he reached 6 months…
i’m sure you can guess how that went and i’m pretty sure the next marker is going to slide right by too.
so i’m getting serious and i’m trying to figure out what...

we’re going to be in your fair region tomorrow and i need help!
we have a business day to kill, just me and my baby man, if we’re not able to get together with a friend/awesome mom.
so what should we see? do? any place we should make sure we go while we’re there? any good malls, in case it’s raining of course? (shh, don’t tell my husband i asked this one)

it’s amazing how much i can get done when i just simply don’t turn on the tv

this is just me having a mommy meltdown
the tears have been flowing lately when i look at my baby
because he’s not nearly as much of a baby anymore
and it’s all happening So. Fast. like way faster than it’s supposed to. and it makes me cry.
in the beginning it’s a much slower process - you have your baby and then, hey, 2 months later “he smiled at me!” and weeks later “he finally reached for...

i HOPE we see a tooth come through soon because the lack of eating and the increase in really sad sounding long ongoing cries in the past 2 days has been unbearable!

I’ve been going cross-eyed researching highchairs.
We’re still feeding in the Bumbo but we’ve rather quickly reached a point where squirmy baby needs a harness to eat so real highchair time it is.
We’ve narrowed it down to a couple for different reasons and are about to hit “purchase” but I figured I’d check the Tumblr world first - anyone have a great...

last night we dropped the crib mattress down to the next setting because someone wanted to stand up rather than sleep. it’s so scary how fast this is all happening.
and i’m not ready.
sometimes my baby turns his head and gives me this look and i swear he’s already 5 years old. i mean i’m so very proud of his accomplishments and how fast he’s cruising through his...

who is deciding on the width for sleeves?
seriously, am i the only one who keeps buying long sleeve shirts only to find out they’re made for snowmen with stick arms?
i mean honestly i don’t have large arms - if anything my arms are SKINNY (save for the dreaded batwing area)
so why oh why do i keep having to go up in size for a shirt just so i can get my arms in the sleeves and not have them be like a second skin?
just me??

my hands reek of garlic
and i love it
i can’t stop smelling them
did i mention i’m slowly becoming a better housewife? it’s a little personal goal of mine to finally get my act together with everything around the house. i’m slowly but surely improving at getting laundry done (beyond the 2 wash/1dry load of diapers every other day), vacuuming, and cooking up some foods. i still despise going to...

“i just need someone to take away my credit cards”
– me. to my husband.
he laughed.
this is not a joke.
seriously, i need to be treated like a 15 year old child. take away my money or else i’ll blow it on stickers and the ice cream man. (not telling which of these i just did)

does anyone else’s baby have an obsession with eating shoes?
i swear if there’s an unfooted shoe within 20ft of this kid he’ll find it and begin chewing on it. his favorite part is the rubber soles

Best pjs ever.

Organic Hanna Andersons.
Holy crap are these amazing. Soft cotton, adorable patterns and stripes, fit well, last long and are awesome.
They’re more expensive than your standard Carters or Gap pajamas, but well worth it.
I’m already eyeing these as Gray’s Christmas morning pajamas.
Hanna Andersson jams are THE jam! but if you’re gonna invest in these you have to get...

dear girl in scrubs
i can see why you might be surprised that my blood pressure is so high right now but really i’m not.
i had a 3pm appointment, you called me and asked if i could come in earlier and i said i’d try.
“well as soon as you can get here we’ll get you back there and on your way.”
i left as soon as the babysitter got here. i arrived at 2:38.

things i learned thanks to my birthday
my baby is in awe of balloons and finally got his first one to play with (i was nice enough to let him have mine), i thought he’d be over the moon psyched but he was very serious and trying to figure out why it’s the opposite of everything else - when he lets go of it while he’s looking at it it goes up and doesn’t fall on his face. very interesting…
he also thinks...

our 6mos appointment went swimmingly yesterday
still getting all As and Gold Stars for where Roger is
i was a little bummed that his weight percentile slipped a teeny bit but we’re working on that - i actually thought he’d weigh much more than he did because he’s such a great eater. but we were told he can definitely get more solids - he currently gets about 2oz (plus oatmeal)...

does anyone else’s baby talk in his sleep?
is this genetic? could i have passed this down to him? in the middle of the night we’ll hear him mumbling away in full vowel sounds and after a couple of minutes we’ll go in there and he’s still face down, sound asleep, with his paci half in, just talkin away. it’s kind of strange… although it would be stranger if he...

1 week into cloth diapers
here’s my immediate feedback by brand and then overall — click through if you are curious about cloth diaper reviews
i should note that the ones i’m using are all pocket diapers and all are snap waists since i refuse to use velcro (not only is it loud and catches on things but after time it wears out)
Fuzzibunz back loading and the sizing is done by adjusting the elastic in the...

yesterday
for the first time ever i had to do a “cry it out” thing with Roger. he was long overdue for a nap and it was getting late and i didn’t want it to throw off our end of day routine.
it only went on for about 15 minutes and then he was out but when i went in to check on him after the screaming stopped (to make sure he was asleep and not suffocating) i heard the saddest little...

fun fact
i was born on Columbus Day Observed so i’m pretty sure that’s partially why it’s a holiday
i did not mean to imply that today is my birthday… sorry for the confusion (although i do like to say “Columbus Day is my birthday” every year

Virginia Tech football fans got a surprise at the Miami game on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011, when the legendary metal band appeared on the video board (Hokie Vision) to wish the Hokie Nation luck before the game. It was epic!
