Mommy Thoughts

*I love my new "mommy" bag. Aidan doesn't go through diapers like crazy anymore, so I decided to splurge and downsize my bag. Now he has one side for a diaper, wipes, and a few small toys, and I get the other side for my stuff.

*It's great sleeping through the night. I'm definitely jinxing myself, but it had to be said.

*My baby is a moving machine, rarely still. He loves his new toys from Christmas, especially his walk 'n ride and Leap Frog table.


---No, his shirt is not soaked with drool. He spilled apple juice on himself just before I took this video.---

*We are not taking Aidan to a specialist. He is eating finger foods now without a problem. I even noticed him working on his pincer grasp at dinner tonight. He was eating beef and noodles and trying to pick up the elbow macaroni between his thumb and pointer finger. (no success b/c the noodles were too slippery, but keep on tryin' buddy!)

*Only three more months and my baby will be a 1 year old toddler. Yikes! Time is going too fast!! Slow down!!!

*It's time to start thinking about daycare for next year. Crazy, I know, but good places fill up fast. Hopefully I won't have to pick my jaw up off the floor when I see how much it's going to cost.

*I started watching Weeds through Netflix. Very amusing so far. (Upper-class suburban mom as a pot dealer to make ends meet after her husband dies)

*Aidan is at the height limit for his infant car seat. Time for the convertible car seat to be installed. I tried reading the directions...I have a Master's degree and I was baffled. I'm taking it to the police station where they will help you install it for free. (and then again when it's time to turn it around to be forward facing)
