Dearest Blogger Friends,

Dear Blogging friends,

I thought all of you had fallen off the planet. Turns out no... my blog reader just crapped out on me.

Sorry I haven't commented on all of the spectacular goings-on in your lives - I didn't know about them.

Love,
me

4 months!

That's 1/3 of a year! I still can't believe this is real. I have a real, live baby. Happy Mother's Day to me!

Let's go for a walk...

This is the most fun EVER, Mom!!!!

Mommy-Needs-Out-Field-Trip, and a fun-site-shout-out!

I'm kind of lost right now at www.rookiemoms.com - tons of fun info there (check it out!).

Right now they're having a Mother's Day giveaway, and to enter - I'm supposed to post about my favorite mommy/baby-outing, thus far. I started thinking about it and realized - wow. I don't have a lot to chose from. I definitely need to get out more. But I have to pick a favorite, so here you go.... Sam's Wholesale Club. That's sad, right? But really - it was great! Charlotte was mesmerized by the obnoxious fluorescent lights, there were samples everywhere for me to snack on, cookbooks for me to peruse, gigantic bags of tasty citrus fruits, and a lifetime supply of boneless/skinless chicken breasts. I avoided the wine section because... well... we're usually pretty stocked up on that.

I wish I had a more interesting destination - but we're still relatively early in the mommy-game. Next year I'll have something better, I promise.

Now go check out Rookie Moms! But if you enter, and win, and I don't.... well. I won't invite you to go to Sam's with me. You'll miss out on all the fun.

You can read more about the blog blast contest here: blog.parentbloggers.com.

Short people can have fun, too!

Renee brought over Pierce's exersaucer (now that he's mobile, he's "over" it) - Charlotte LOVES it! It's the first time she's intentionally played with something, more than just smack and grab...

Her short legs needed some help, though.

Thanks, Pierce!

(Oh, and at the end - don't mind the commercial in the background that says something about a medications side effects. Oops.)

Wordless Wednesday...

Baby Got Back

We got a new diaper this week... it's a one-size-fits-all Rumparooz, in turquoise bubble minkee. Got that? lol. It is AWESOME! Charlotte broke it in just after this photo shoot ended, and the extra gussets on the inside (called the "poop scoop") worked perfectly. The inside is chamois... soooo soft, and stays feeling dry.

She's finally at a size where the majority of our stash fit her appropriately, and most are adjustable to get bigger as she does. While she's smaller, though, they do make her butt look big. :o)
