A Great Blog to Stumble Upon

Somehow I stumbled upon The Stir, a cafe mom blog.  There's an article called 9 Lifesaving Car Seat Rules You're Probably Ignoring that caught my attention.  It's a pretty good article and is also written with some humor.  Anyway, I was poking around the rest of the website and discovered one of the parents is a special needs mom.  She writes a column about her experiences called "Isn't That Special."  She has a sense of humor.... I like her :).  If you have a second, check out the website and poke around.  I guarantee you'll find something you like!

Weekend Blog Challenge Recap

Just a quick recap of the weeks blog challenge highlights.

Have you met Blondie over at Transatlantic Blonde?  If not you should definitely check out her Feminist Friday post and join along.  I have never considered myself a feminist, because truthfully I thought it meant burning bras, vowing never to wear pink ruffles, and being a "man hater"... but alas, I was wrong.  After reading some of her posts and some of the other bloggers Feminist Friday posts, I realize it's more about equality, choosing your words wisely, not characterising someone based on their gender, and overall respect.

There's so much more I could write about this topic - but we'll save that for next Friday ;-)

Also check out My Two Red Shoes.  I love this blog.  It's beautiful, there are amazing pictures, an adorable baby boy, and right now... chocolate croissants.  I'm drooling just looking at them and cursing Trader Joe's for being an hour away.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Things I don't want to forget

I never want to forget the adorable little noise you make when you yawn.  It was one of the only noises you made for months and we would wait for it with anticipation each time your lips opened to make a tiny little oval, just in time to release all your sleepy sighs with a smile inducing "oohhhmm."  (We still wait for it in anticipation, though now the sound that comes out varies from a sweet sigh to an irritated growl. You are such a sassy little thing.)

I don't want to forget the way you stick your little index finger out on your left hand and so carefully aim before jabbing it right into my eye, and in some cases my nose.

Or the way you try to pick up your food with your right hand, only to pass it to the left fingers to put in your mouth, with your right hand guiding your left hand all the way to give it the extra little push into your mouth.

Or how easily you fall asleep next to your daddy, even if you just woke up from a nap. (And how much he enjoys spending time with you)

Wordless Wednesday (new laptop!)

SO busy

Today we had a lot going on. I purchased a Toshiba laptop, hopefully it will be ready to pick up tomorrow. They're doing something with it (I don't know all the details) that will take until tomorrow and then I'll finally have a working computer.

Lillian has been great since her teething pain has gone. She's such a happy baby and makes me smile all day. Even when she's being a stinker I can't help but laugh about her big personality. She's doing this funny thing lately where she wraps her arms around our necks and squeezes while she tries to "kiss" your face off. It's more of a shove-your-face-in-her-mouth type of kiss, but we love it.

Today we went to a 31 party open house and managed to buy some Christmas presents! Can't believe we're already Christmas shopping, but with a baby it's better to do what you can when you can. While the weather is nice and there's no flu going around, we're going to do as much as possible!

We are REALLY looking forward to our trip to DC in a few weeks. I'm especially looking forward to meeting all the other kids with PWS and their amazing parents. Lillian's going to be in the daycare with the other babies and I can't wait to see how much fun she has. But I'll also admit that I wish I could keep her with me during the seminar. We'll have to sneak off to see her during lunch.

Anyone have any suggestions for sight seeing in DC? Anything we absolutely should not miss? I'm all for suggestions!
