"I thought we already discussed this!

Oh, and did you know, my mom, she never changes my clothes...jeepers...what's a girl to do?!"

Soon To Be The Cause Of Many Arguments

291008
This super soft blanket was a gift from my friend Theana. It is so soft, Alex and I are already discussing who should be allowed to cuddle with it...what, oh, it was a gift for Baby J? Umm, yeah...okay...

Of course being super smart, I didn't take any pictures with Theana, who I haven't seen in 13 years, but I'm hoping she'll post some of the ones she took and I'll just steal them!

I previously featured candy corn, but this, this is the real deal. It even has candy corn pumpkins. Oh, and there was caramel candy corn and fruity candy corn too!

Salvaged

271008
We received a bunch of nice flowers from a bunch of different people when Baby J was born. This vase has the salvaged, dried pieces from a few of those bouquets. The dried pieces that actually look nice when dried!

First Books

241008
Looks like Baby J might be a reader like her mom. She loved looking at this book (it has lots of big photographs of baby faces) and she actually made a fuss when the book got moved!

Flutterby Rattle

231008
This great rattle is one that Baby J really likes - lots of bright colours. It came with us to our baby group today and another little girl who is about 6 months old was playing with it - it's got all kinds of textured bits for when she's teething and the other little girl loved it.

Fairy Girl

This is one of my favourite little outfits for Baby J, but she's growing (YAY!) and soon this one will be too small.

Okay, so they're not exactly tied up with string, but brown paper packages are still lots of fun to send!

Anniversary Flowers

201008
Alex vanished this afternoon and when he returned, well, he had these very pretty flowers with him. I can't believe it's been an entire year since our wedding! And what a busy, wonderfully busy, year it's been.

The Swing!

171008
Baby J has not been a big fan of the swing at all, but today she was quite happy to hang out and chat with her blue pony. Hopefully this means she will continue to be a fan of the swing!

Grandma and Grandpa's of course. We got these adorable Danish bibs (and some Danish baby wear) in the mail today. Mormor and Morfar are my parents (Farmor and Farfar are Alex's parents).

Source Of The Squawking

141008
On our way to the doctor today to get Baby J immunized, a loud squawk came from the back seat. A loud prolonged squawk. When we got to a stop light, I pulled my seat belt off, felt around in her car seat and discovered she had decided to spit her soother out. She took the soother and stopped squawking. I did this all by feel...I couldn't see around the side of the car seat.

A few minutes later, after we had parked the car, I went to get the stroller out of the trunk and saw this baby through the back window. I think she spat the soother out because she couldn't see, so the squawking wasn't originally because of the missing soother...it just got louder when she couldn't see *AND* her soother was missing!

Good Luck Charm

081008
Yesterday Baby J and I went for a walk with Auntie Rebar. She was going to look at an apartment. We were a bit early and because we had Baby J with us, we walked up and down the sidewalk a bit so she wouldn't wake up. We walked past a sign for a vacancy in an apartment building...the place Rebecca had the appointment at was okay, but they didn't take pets, but the one we walked by, well, they'll be moving in to it on November 1 and she figures Baby J is her good luck charm. We wandered past again this afternoon to check it out, but Baby J wasn't very interested.

Almost Smiling

071008
I took a bunch of pictures of Baby J, trying to get a smile...of course that only happened when my finger was far from the shutter button. This is the closest I got to a smile!
