February 19 is a perfectly cromulent birthday, too. But nobody wants to go over their due date.
Maidengurl, hold the camera close to the dog, slowly, non-threateningly, and let him smell it. Talk reassuringly to him, let him get used to it. He's probably frightened of the (possible) flash, so it may not help. But it's worth a try.
I need to go buy a birthday card, for DH's birthday tomorrow. Don' wanna.
Can you tell we're sorta lackadaisical about birthdays around here?
I just read all the stuff, but I'm very muzzy-headed today, and have no idea what everyone said. There was a lot of baby talk. It was interesting. And gross, when I consider breastmilk cottage cheese (though I could see giving it to the kid, except...isn't that a lot of work for something they could eat plain??). And SA's New Zealand pictures amused me because I have a copule of the very same pictures (ie, from inside the Christchurch art museum).
I slept for 14 hours last night. Which is to say, I very nearly slept through the entire day. I have not accomplished anything. Damn.
Deena, I was going to chime in with Keen or Merrell shoes. I LOVE my Keen shoes. I found mine at the Walking Company too. I tried on Danskos, but the soles were too firm for my taste. YSoleFirmnessMV
Had birthday lunch with mom and have been reading library books. Life is good.
Hey, bt.
Missed you, bunk.
All good thoughts for Matt's dad. Ooh...that's got to be awful.
He's Lillian's age, more or less, and she's got five and a half teeth.
She's a toothy girl! Franny was 8 months when she finally broke her first tooth. By 12 months she had the toothiest smile at daycare. But it sounds like Lily will beat her.
Burrell, does he still have his surfer dude 'do?
Kinda. I trimmed his bangs and now he looks more Mersey beat. But in the right outfit he's totally a surfer dude.
Lillian is alarmingly toothy. I keep waiting for her to decide the nipple's a chew toy.
In other exciting baby news, my child has rejected bananas. I think they killed her village or something, to go by her reaction.
Did you mash them yourself? Sometimes that can be too textural for a new eater. Try the jarred kind before you give up. In fact, with all first foods, try them again a few times before you give up.
I keep waiting for her to decide the nipple's a chew toy.
I've seen Owen rip the tip off a rubber nipple. Let me just say how happy I was that I had stopped nursing a LOOOOONG time before that.
Dammit. I've got a smoke alarm chirping low battery at me and I can't figure out which one it is.
erika, your mom's birthday? Or did we mess up big time and let yours slip by?
Keen or Merrell
Thanks, d! I'll check them out.
