mischa is growing out of clothes like a weed. we usually hit up the local children's consignment shop if we need more of something. like today, i realized she's growing out of her little jackets and sweaters and we don't have anything warm to wear in the next size up! i want to sell some of her clothes to the consignment shop so i can use that ( Read more... )

when renting a car, has anyone rented one of their carseats as well? i just called the car rental place and the guy was clueless and said it was a convertable carseat but could only face forward. that didn't make sense to me because we have a convertable carseat and it can be either forward or rear facing. we're renting a car through enterprise ( Read more... )

I received a gift card from a Vendor at work for our new baby. It was to a local coffee establishment. I went to use it today and it didn't work, I think it got demagnetized. The card that the gift card was placed in had a magnet attached to it as part of the card ( Read more... )

Elchanan has started to clamp down on my nipple with his gums and then turn his head away or lean back.

With my nipple still in his mouth.

Of course it's hard to be angry when he's got such a shit-eating grin on his face while he does it.... like he KNOWS what he's doing is wrong and just doesn't care... LOL.

So... I know nothing about html except what I've learned in this community, and also don't know much about LJ in general (I have a free account, so maybe some of the things that I can't figure out how to do, I just can't do without upgrading my account) but...

Anya is our first, so this will be Steve's first Fathers' Day as a dad. I know there are other new parents, too. Any ideas what you will be doing? Steve isn't really sentimental, but he does love being a dad and hanging out with Anya, so I think he might enjoy some kind of marking of the day. (I welcome comments from moms with older kids, too, ( Read more... )
