I've thought about starting a separate blog just focused on Babycakes so I could post every story and photo there, password it and only let our families read it. But then I think, they don't even read my blog NOW! I also wonder if anyone give a crap if I only post baby stuff on my blog. Then I think maybe I should rename the blog completely. But then, I'm just too lazy to any of what I think about.

...OH MY GAWD I am DYING with the giggles over here.<br /><br />The crib story is EPIC! I can just picture the whole thing! Also, I am in the same boat sista so I better not laugh too hard at your present situation because I am sure I will be there in a month. Who am I kidding I practically have to lean over and drop her in now and the mattress is all the way up! Oh and I think it's about time for me to take the bumpers out of the crib. Even though they are so damn cute. I keep walking into her room and finding her sucking-face with the bumpers. Oops.<br /><br />Ear wax! YES! Why????? And the earrings itch - YES!! WTF?!<br /><br />I just realized we had ONE pair of shoes. That don't fit. I've been squeezing Stella's feet into size 0 infant shoes. My MIL had to point that one out. Thanks a lot. I just bought like four pair of shoes in one week. Matt was like WHAT THE HELL.<br /><br />One of my friends got her boobs done last week. Not that I really am into that sort of thing (yet I guess - won't rule anything out - ha!) Well at her Superbowl party last night she showed me and I was like DAYUM. My poor saggy boobs look disgusting in comparison. WAH!!!!<br /><br />The Mom Guilt. Guilty, guilty, guilt. Me too! Always! It's so annoying! Why are we so hard on ourselves?! Why do I still feel like I didn't earn my mom badge because I had to have a c-section? Why???????????? <br /><br />Stella has a boyfriend at school. His name is Brady. He's cute and all but I hear they hold hands at school too and I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO shame on you bad boy get away from MY BABY!<br /><br />(Plus she is supposed to be saving herself for MAC!)<br /><br />Oh you are too much. I heartsies you to the moon and back! When are we getting together?!

Don't worry about us getting sick of his cuteness. ;)<br /><br />Also - The ear wax thing - I have it too! It's because we SWEAT more now. Is your hair greasier (mine is) or do you need more deodorant?? (I DO).

That's all my baby wears....and no, he doesn't own a single pair of shoes either. What's the point?! You'll be buying more than your share of shoes over the next few years anyway...I hear they grow pretty fast. ;)<br /><br />And yes. Men have this ability to tune babies out. I don't know how or why but I must admit, I am (sometimes) (okay, all the time) jealous.<br /><br />At least you still blog! I don't/can't, and some days I hate myself for it.

As far as the shoes, at this age I don't think it's a big deal if he doesn't wear shoes (or real clothes). If you do buy some, I recommend the stride rite Robeez for pre-walkers- they are great, and good for foot development (so I hear). But shoes are expensive so I'd hold off as long as you want. :) <br /><br />I often think I'm spoiling Nora too. It's so hard! I feel like some deep biological urge to respond to her as soon as she starts fussing, even now that she's a little older. Meanwhile my husband has no problem at all making her wait a little bit, so I think it must be a mother thing.<br /><br />I'm not sure about the blog either. Obviously I post a ton about my daughter online. I feel like this is okay while she's still under 4 or so. It's not like I'm posting particularly embarrassing stuff and I feel like most kids these days will have a "web history" before they get to school because of things their parents posted. I am conscious of it though and I try not to post anything that could be used against her later, like naked photos or anything (plus I don't want any creepsters pulling those photos off my site). Overall I think I feel more comfortable with posting things about my family than a lot of other people do, but I like blogging and try to keep really personal stuff off the web, so I feel like it's okay.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832580220695708322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-85468123061526844262013-02-02T14:41:10.041-06:002013-02-02T14:41:10.041-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-76112385108388887882013-02-02T13:50:17.017-06:002013-02-02T13:50:17.017-06:00Love these, Sara!

I never put them on the other two kids, either. For me, it's total laziness. I have to feed you, diaper you, bathe you, clothe you AND put tiny useless shoes on your non-walking feet?

Everyone jokes he already has a girlfriend (one if my friends little girls, 2 months younger than him). I laugh along but in my mind I'm thinking 'no fricken way, he is MINE. Forever.' It's so hard to imagine out babies all grown up and leaving - thank goodness it's a LONG ways off :)<br /><br />I'm definitely guilty of needing to make a blanket apology to mom friends...for so many things! Why can't they go out more, why would they let their kid do THAT, he's 11 months old and they haven't left him for a night? I feel like such an ass.

I just got in a mini tiff with a friend who couldnt understand why I could just make time to do a once weekly lunch, or why I struggle to g-chat her. And as much as I try to explain that I'm so super busy, she doesnt get it.... and I wouldnt either had I been childless.<br /><br />I love your confessionals.

I feel guilty because when I'm home with Elyse during the day I feel like I should make myself useful at the house and feel guilty for leaving her playing alone in the floor. And I also feel guilty because what if other babies her age are speaking tons of words and she just speaks Elyse-talk which I think is oh so cute but not at all intelligible! <br /><br />& I hear you about the crib story...my belly gets squished everytime I lay her down for a nap and she softly, or not so softly sometimes just rolls off my hands and into the crib. Thankfully she is able to settle herself back down & go back to sleep...but don't think that crawling into the crib hasn't crossed my mind!

...I agree - that crib story is hilarious! Awesome. <br /><br />The guilt gets better. It was a combo for me of many things: feeling more secure in my parenting decisions as I practiced them more and realized they were working for us, seeing Julia grow up a little and realizing I hadn't damaged her, and having a second child and just plain old not having time to do anything else for them! Re: your alphabet in French comment - I was totally the same way, but I've learned that simplicity, silence, and calm does wonders for children. Mac has his whole life to be overstimulated - take your cues from him now. He needs smiles, baby games, help climbing on things, and the security of having his mom close by while he explores his world. Anything else is, at best, unnecessary. No need for mommy guilt - what you're doing now is just perfect for him. :)<br /><br />Lana not only doesn't have shoes, but she goes barefoot as much as possible. Everywhere. In the winter. She does wear real clothes though. ;)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698184793084988151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-27776510436028931042013-02-01T14:39:41.468-06:002013-02-01T14:39:41.468-06:00first of all, i wholeheartedly agree with you on s...first of all, i wholeheartedly agree with you on so many of these topics...especially the jumping at their every whim (if CC cried she immediately gets picked up) and regarding the whole friend balance-i'm trying to do the best i can, but unfortunately have to say no/miss certain things because family time takes precedence...however, the narration of the crib is HILARIOUS--i'm short and this belly is growing and making it REALLY difficult not to throw CC in when she is asleep ;)Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671462844845251622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-34996760514693296082013-02-01T14:19:49.041-06:002013-02-01T14:19:49.041-06:00I keep going back and forth about the blogging thi...I keep going back and forth about the blogging thing.
