Major Suckage

Wow. This would suck http://consumerist.com/5367319/congratulations-youre-pregnant-with-the-wrong-baby Invitro with the wrong embryo. Whoops.

Growing Girl

Well, I have Claire in some 3T pants. Or I thought I did. They are currently around her knees. I thought I could keep pulling them up, but I think I'm going to have to take them in. What's the best way to do this? Gather them at the side or the back and put in a few whip stitches? Here's the problem: http://www.carters.com/Help/SizeChart.aspx She is in the 2T weight, but tall enough for the 3T. Fun fun. Oh wait. Size 24 months goes to 30 lbs...so her weight is in 24 months...that would explain the pants falling down.

World Breastfeeding Picnic Celebration

On Sunday, Claire and I invited some boobie baby friends and their mommies over for a picnic to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (a tad late, I know!)

Claire had fun with her friends and got to go to Amelia's 2nd birthday party the same day! It was a busy day! As you can see in the picture, she was pretty much done for the evening. :( She had a short nap on Sunday and was ready for bed at about 7!

Does this mean Claire still nurses even though I'm pregnant...oh yes! I am already tandeming! She is really down to morning, nap, and bed, and if she gets hurt. Sometimes if she falls asleep in the stroller or carseat, she has even done without her naptime session. I'm glad to be able to continue to provide her with this style of mothering and plan on letting her continue until she self weans because she obviously already is weaning if you consider how many times she nursed as a newborn...it's a gradual process.

Discipline

There is no perfect way to discipline. Here is an interesting article about discipline http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/health/15mind.html?_r=2 What do u think?

God's Promise

Yesterday a huge storm rolled through. I'm talking the kind that pulls you to the window to see what's up! A little while later, it had slowed to a sprinkle, and the sun came out, which meant: RAINBOW TIME!
If you look closely, you can actually see a DOUBLE rainbow! It was sooo amazing!

It was really cool because we could see the whole double arch all the way across. Claire was very excited and kept yelling the colors and "RAINBOW! RAINBOW!"

The pictures aren't great because the camera kept focusing on the raindrops, but you get the idea!

Something in my butthole.

Claire new favorite song to listen to in the car is Savage Garden's "I WANT YOU." An oldie, but a goodie. Check out the music video if you haven't seen it in awhile:

She will say "Mommy make louder! Mommy play "chica cherry!" Mommy start over!" She loves it!

Today Claire was saying, "Mommy my butt hurt. Mommy someting in my butthole." So I thought she had pooped her pants. Nope. Or maybe was TRYING to poop. Nope. She had a giant wedgie. I said, "Claire! You have a wedgie." So she goes, "What's my wedgie?" Yes, important things to learn. I explained wedgies are when clothes go in your buttcrack not into your butthole...ahh...fine nuances...lol...

Last night we had grilled cheese and soup. She was eating with a baby spoon. She wanted a big spoon. So she goes. "Mommy, I wanta different spoon. This spoon sucks." Yes, she said sucks. It was actually pretty funny.

Alcohol linked to cancer?
