Several of the blogs I follow have done something similar to this and it might be kinda fun if like once a month or so it was a mom-blogger link up! I'd be happy to help organize (i've never done it but it sounds fun) if you're interested!<br /><br />ps the only thing Callie says that I understand is cat... but everything is cat... so yeah she speaks jibberish to me :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628556216175982242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-83931677614893115852013-08-01T15:55:37.257-05:002013-08-01T15:55:37.257-05:00Ha!

Madeline has started talking in sentences and ...1. Madeline has started talking in sentences and half the time, I don't understand a thing she's saying. And forget about it if I've had wine. She may as well be speaking Klingon. I remember before I had a kid, the very thought of having to talk to a baby or toddler scared the ever-living shit out of me; "What do I say? What does it want to hear? How do I relate?" LOL. Now, I just start talking and jump right on in. My pre-baby self would be very proud of me.<br /><br />2. We are still feeding Maddy the Gerber Lil Entrees Meals... at age two. How long can a parent get away with those I wonder? Ok, here's the deal - I can cook and I usually do cook, but most of the things I know how to cook are meals for adults that are probably not suited for a toddler's belly. The thought of having to plan meals and know what to cook for my daughter EVERY. NIGHT. OF. THE. WEEK. scares the hell out of me. It's just so easy to pop open one of those pre-made meals that are the perfect portion size and that have everything she needs nutrionally than for me to have to figure it out. I know, I know...I'm going to have to cut the cord soon. But I don't wanna. Booooooo. <br /><br />3. I let Maddy play with my un-used tampons. She likes to grab the string and twirl them over her head like a helicopter and it keeps her occupied and quiet for quite a while. Mom of the Year right here, folks.<br /><br />4. My pre-baby, thought she knew everything, upidty, jackass self swore up and down that my kid wouldn't watch a lot of TV - that she would find other avenues to keep herself occupied. Uh huh. I think we all know how that turned out. <br /><br />5. Maddy has gone a full week without getting a bath. What?! She doesn't have mature sweat glands yet. <br /><br />Courtney<br />shirazinmysippycup.blogspot.comCourtney @ Shiraz In My Sippy Cuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305545287301064062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-13761561122579265612013-07-30T22:05:57.016-05:002013-07-30T22:05:57.016-05:00These are my favorite posts!

I don't know what I thought was so difficult about getting out with an immobile babe ;) I took J to her great-grandparents house today, and she basically ransacked the place. And don't even get me started on the shit-show that is taking her to the grocery store...basically it involves a lot of snack shoving and sweating (on my part).Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324348931539134282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-89990372875639606892013-07-30T20:40:57.279-05:002013-07-30T20:40:57.279-05:00I was cracking up reading this...I don't have ...I was cracking up reading this...I don't have any crazy stories yet, but I'm sure I will before I know it...Jess Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221766921723016245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-34845274704908986972013-07-30T20:26:58.426-05:002013-07-30T20:26:58.426-05:00Yes.

Lana, being 15 months, usually gets her puffs and goldfish everywhere. Not only do I not try to keep her car seat clean of the dropped goldfish by throwing them out when I see them, I actually leave them there on purpose... And when she fusses about getting in the car when I *don't* have a snack cup for her, I just dig down in her seat and hand her some god-knows-how-old goldfish to munch on. Calms her right down.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698184793084988151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-13324813800644470822013-07-30T12:45:32.944-05:002013-07-30T12:45:32.944-05:00This is awesome!!

My pre-baby self swore I would NEVER use disposable diapers. I use them more than I use the cloth diapers I have. They're just easier. <br />3. Sometimes I'll hear the baby get up when I do but if she's just playing I'll leave her in there so I can get ready in peace. <br />4. Sometimes bath night can seem like too much, so we'll go an extra day without a bath. Oops. <br />5. I talk baby talk to my baby even though I HATE when other people do it. It makes her smile so whatever.<br />6. I haven't written thank you notes for gifts given right after we had the baby. It's been 10 months.

Just SIT DOWN PLEASE. Sometimes a swim in the pool is deemed an acceptable substitute for a bath. I swore my kid would be a great eater. HA. Blaire eats almost no vegetables. I offer them to her continually and she ignores them or throws them off her plate. (Only sometimes at me. Progress?) Wish I could go back and tell my smug no-child self that you cannot make a kid eat anything they don't want no matter what kinds of foods you expose them to and offer them. melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301750140963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-7259959603971531822013-07-30T11:45:18.458-05:002013-07-30T11:45:18.458-05:00I have so many confessions, I could load up your e...I have so many confessions, I could load up your entire comment wall with all of them....

But 6:30am. Counting my blessings so far. But, the night terror have started, I think. Woke up around 11 the other night screaming like I've never heard before and inconsolable for a good hour. That was rough!<br /><br />I stick C in the jumparoo thing and turn on the TV (doesn't matter what's on) so he'll be still while I get dinner ready - his or ours, doesn't matter.<br /><br />I let the dog lick his face and hands and then don't care when he immediately sticks hands in mouth. I'm sure that would disgust a lot of people. I call it how we build up our immune system.<br /><br />I complained to my husband yesterday that I hate the baby gate at the bottom of our stairs because it looks ugly. When told it was for the safety of our child, I just replied - well, it's ugly and I can't stand it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526538096794683080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-32369189147760989702013-07-30T11:20:04.764-05:002013-07-30T11:20:04.764-05:00I totally turn on Spongebob at night just so I can...I totally turn on Spongebob at night just so I can cook dinner.

Mac is just the cutest.<br /><br />1. I let Jack eat dog food while I do laundry (the dishes are in the laundry room). It entertains him, is relatively harmless and at least I buy the organic shizz for our insane boston terrier with food allergies.<br />2. I still haven't sent out thank you notes from Charlie's baptism. And yesterday I threw away the list of gifts that people gave us. They are all family, so I hope they don't hate us too much.<br />3. I often drink a bottle of beer while feeding the baby his bottle at bed time. Mommy double fisting.<br />4. I was at a baby shower this weekend where the mommy to be was gifted scent-free dish soap to wash bottles so that her new baby wouldn't be drinking citrus soap flavored milk. The thought never crossed my mind. Both of my boys are healthy and the grapefruit scented stuff is cheaper.<br />5. Jack played with a box of condoms this morning while I was showering. He was quiet, entertained and stayed still for a whole 10 minutes. Mom of the freakin' year.<br /><br />-danielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
