Then the weather changed, and pants and shoes became our friends.

That's more or less what happened here, too.

Man. Someone tell me something nice.

I'm going to make tacos for dinner!

I swear, she was saying "car" yesterday, with great excitement, but I've got no idea where she'd have picked it up or why it thrilled her, as she tends to regard going for rides in the C-A-R with about as much joy as the cats look forward to the B-A-T-H.

Y'know, Li'l Sphere's attitude towards C-A-R rides changed when I turned the seat around. He gets all kinds of excited now.

It's going to get warmer later this week.

Can't help you with the video Connie, but I think I have a couple of stills from that on my laptop at home.

Matt & Plei, I would love some yummy Alexi pics. Profile is good. Or a nummy link.

My former officemate finally found a new job with the feds, so good benefits! And it involves a nondriving commute (if you knew his luck with cars....)

I'm no longer queasy and the pukey seems to be resolving itself. Which while it is something nice for me, doesn't really matter to anyone else not in sight.

I finally got my valentine gift from my parents. A giant (well, cat sized) stuffed pink hippo. I squeed a lot. See, when I was three, my dad brought me back a fist sized pink hippopotamus from one of his business trips. It travelled everywhere with me. Then, when I was 20 and returning from Prague, it disappeared! I was terribly heartbroken ( I actually burst into tears when I searched all my crap for the bazillionth time and didn't find it. That may have partly been the jetlag, though.) Since then, he's been on the lookout for pink hippos. I now have 4 of various varieties plus a blue one. He really takes his hunt seriously. Which makes me feel all loved and shit.

Babypants are overrated.

That's what I told my friend. She thinks that they need to wear something over the diapers though. She's so square!

Lillian was a hair under 16lbs and a hair over 26" at her nine month check-up. I fear her days of facing forward are far in her future, at this growth rate (which is a shame, as I'd love it if she started liking the C-A-R). My friends' three month old is already wearing the same size clothing as the girl.

Man. Someone tell me something nice.

I'm drinking grape juice and seltzer. It's pretty tasty.

Also, you've got great hair.

Why do I not have any bacon? That's just wrong. I'll have to get some tomorrow.

Today, I need to cook up the chicken that's been marinating in my fridge, even though I probably won't eat it tonight, due to eating popcorn at the movies just now. They wouldn't let me get the Kid's Pack! LAME.

That's what I told my friend. She thinks that they need to wear something over the diapers though. She's so square!

A onesie goes over the diaper. It just peeks out the edges, like a bra strap or something. Cute!

Realistically, if it's not too warm during babyhood: the early days, something over the diaper DOES contain the mess when there's a containment failure in the diaper itself.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if come this summer, she re-evaluates that view. Maybe not, but my SIL swore up and down that she wasn't going to be one of those moms who let her kid run around in just his diaper!

Hahahah. Yeah, nsm. Especially when they were trying to keep their electric bill down.

And omg, I didn't realize it was that friend of yours!
