hi beth!

This was me eighteen months ago. And then I got used to having a a forty hour week, and a steady income, and now it's killing me being back in college.

Oh, Real World. Why are you so potentially fearsome?

Oh, hello Alton Brown. you make it all better.

I think citrus is one of the things you're supposed to avoid until they're a little older, on account of the butt rash factor.

Burrell, I'll probably make her a blueberry crisp, because I'm pretty certain she'll have been introduced to everything in there by that time. I'm going medium slow on the introduction of some things, like milk, because of allergy concerns. (Which are 90% paranoia, 10% related to my dad starting to have some food issues.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I was hoping the mandarins would be ok since they are a lot less acidic. Guess not. Back to peaches, pears, bananas, and apples.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Interrupting the butt rash discussion for one more shallow post:

Now tagless for your comfort.

Have any Buffista babies shown any sensitivity to citrus? Em got a couple of butt rashes when I drank it while nursing, so I stopped drinking it. I gave her mandarin oranges this morning, and she has a rash again. Anyone else see this?

I gave Owen mandarin oranges when he was 10 months old and he got a RAGING case of diaper rash. Just too much acid, I guess. He eventually got over it and now he loves them. I think I waited three or four months before trying them again.

Some brands seem to have less effect on him than others, though, so I'm not sure exactly how that works.

Ok, why is it NOT a basic community service for police departments in So Cal to inspect child safety seats to ensure they are installed properly? Why why why? Why do I need to drive over 30 miles to get it done?

They're not very helpful, are they? Have you tried a fire department? They sometimes do them and you may have one closer. I think I had one inspection at a Babysaurus but I think really, if you cand just tighten the straps until there is almost no movement of the seat, you're good.

I'm buying a used one off Craigs List (has LATCH, so it's not old and no accidents) that has no manual and I just want to make sure it's ok. I just had one officer at the North Hollywood station say, "I installed mine, so I can check yours." WTF? I thank him for taking the time, but jeez.

That's it. I'm not paying taxes anymore.
