Yeah, even self-feeding non finger foods is okay (baby + "finger fed" yogurt = giant mess). But the OT said we need to get him to use the spoon and self-feeding is huge. Blah blah blah.

She also said no regular sippy cups, only the kind with a straw. Do you know how hard it is to get a kid to understand how to use a straw?

I am with meara, Kristen, ita WRT Cristina. I love her and Bailey, so it's tough to continue watching when they were both shunted. I think they've done a really good job of rehabbing George these past few episodes after the disastrous relationship with Izzy. Though it's weird that he never has scenes with his ex-ish wife! And really, I want them to stop pandering to teh gays!

I always love the Noah and Grace pictures, but for some reason this latest batch is seriously killing me ded. Twins! Hands! Scrunched-up giggling faces and big goggling eyes of amazement!

baby + "finger fed" yogurt = giant mess

Oh yes. Baby + oatmeal + fingers = early bathtime.

But the OT said we need to get him to use the spoon and self-feeding is huge. Blah blah blah.

That seems weird to me because I'd always read that most kids don't really start using utensils until closer to 18-24 months. But I'm not an OT, I guess.

I like the "I still want my flying car" one and the "Ask me about my death ray."

Jessica, yes. Weird to me, but whatever. But we are test driving spoons. These bendy ones are fun enough but not nearly as good as the these colorful ones with the tasty fun teething handles which seems not to be the point.

What are people doing this weekend? How many people have Monday off?

Tomorrow I am taking Perkins the cat in for a lion's cut, then a lot of the rest of the weekend will be spent cleaning the front of the house.

I've got Monday off. However, nothing exciting planned. I need to get a haircut, do grocery/other shopping, and I SERIOUSLY need to get some house cleaning done (the dust bunnies are going feral again). I'd also like to get to Iron Man, and at least one nice resturaunt. And I need to by a monitor.

Other than that, sleep in and enjoy the weekend (the weather is supposed to be awesome this weekend).

If anyone's curious, my friend ended up in labor for 30 hours total but finally, finally had her baby girl last night at 9 pm. everybody's good!

I spent the evening at Ikea and there would have been Tears and Recriminations if I hadn't had my best friend with me. Man that place stresses me out (not as much as Home Depot but a lot). I did manage to get almost everything I need but their knob selection is bullshit.

Perkins the cat

I am tempted to get a cat and name it IHOP.
