Putting baby in a corner

February17

We are putting away infant items to make way for bigger baby stuff.  It is rather sad to me.  This weekend we had to find room for the high chair.  Well, first we had to find the high chair.

We knew exactly where the high chair and the cover were.  No they weren’t together – haven’t you been following along here? I’m not that organized.  We weren’t sure where the straps were – they weren’t with the seat or the cover.  But Steve located them in less than 10 minutes so I was impressed that after a year+ and 1 move we were able to locate all of the parts.  Well not all of the parts.  There is a clear plastic tray which snaps over the white tray.  No idea where that might be.  (If we hadn’t been living in an apartment, if we hadn’t moved, and if I hadn’t been very pregnant, I like to think all of those things would have been stowed away together.)

Look how tiny Tessa looks in this seat.

Sabrina has discovered the word cute.  She was drinking her milk and watching me edit these photos.  She declared herself “oh cute! Nina so cute!” in her Valentine’s dress.

And completely off topic, I ran out of Splenda and being cheap picked up a small box of Sweet N Low until I can get to Sam’s to get a big box of Splenda.  Sweet N Low tastes like ass in my coffee.  That is all.

PS Okay, that isn’t all.  White Trash Mom asked my blogging secret because all of you keep visiting her?!? How crazy is that?  The woman has a book out and wants to know how I have such great mind control influence over all of you that you click to go visit her!  I told her its cuz you all lurve me so much.  *Smooches* I adore you all too.

    I just eat sugar because of being cheap. ANd because i think Splenda Sweet and Low and the blue stuff is unnatural somehow…like a bunch of chemicals.

    Baby girl Tessa looks like a tiny doll in that High Chair. So sweet.

    *Update* – Steve tells me he knows where the tray is. LOL

    And yes, it is all unnatural and chemically! I choose to ignore the scary make up and embrace the calorie free sweetness.

    Tessa does look so tiny!

    Use the cute with Sabrina — Parker will do almost anything if I tell her that she looks cute doing it 🙂 Works for PJs, getting dressed, getting coats on, shoes on, and even “Oh Parker, let’s brush your teeth — clean teeth are so cute!” Works like a charm every time 🙂

    Sabrina is very right about being cute!

    I heart my Splenda and so if it’s not that that kills me, something else will.

    We haven’t moved yet I’m pretty sure I have no idea where our high chair might be hiding. That generally means my husband has moved it, though. He probably stuck it somewhere really logical, like in a box with Christmas ornaments. That’s just how he likes to roll.

    Sabrina is pretty astute. Cute is damn right.

    sweet and low tastes like ass because it is ass. sweet ass.
    ick.
    you should try stevia. you can get it at the health food store, it doesn’t affect blood sugar at all, and it is made from a plant. i’d say about 1 of 10 people find it bitter (i am one of them) but most people really like it!
    dare you…

    NINA IS SOOOOOO CUTE!!! Love the v-day outfit.

    Tessa, stop growing up. Yeah to you for not just buying a new one!

    ewww. who wants to drink ass-flavored tea?
    Wouldn’t unsweet be better than ass-flavored sweet?
    Tessa is really beautiful. It is so hard to make those transitions though, and see them growing up.

    Ahhhh, she is CUTE and I can’t believe how teeny tiny Tessa looks in the high chair!!!

    Bobbie, good question! The blog has been cehngad to clarify that the Tales Tea is for GBBC clients (home or birth center). If you did not take our birth classes, then you would just come to the month that you would have taken them (usually one month before due date month). So sorry to have communicated that this was closed to our class members only! Thank you for bringing that to our attention. For those who are wanting to get plugged in but are clients of another birth center, midwife or hospital, then the Mom’s Circle is perfect. Mom’s Circle is every month and is open to ALL mama’s in the area!

    So.. I make videos on youtube. But I want it to have the button so my subscribers can watch the video if they choose in HD. I’ve been searching for a way but the ways I watched are not for VIDEO CAMERAS. I can’t buy a new video recorder or whatever because my family won’t let me, so could you guys tell me how to make my videos on windows movie maker with a video camera? Thank you in advance!
