Why It's Hard to Go to Work

This is the smile I get in the mornings...

You wouldn't want to leave either.

The Mommy Survey

So...I have a question for you readers that are also mommies...
Would You Like to Take a Survey?

I've created a list of a few questions below - and I'd love it if you could answer them. These are just some things that I have been thinking about/dealing with/have coming up - and I'd appreciate seeing other mommy experiences.

THE MOMMY SURVEY

1. Did you sleep with your baby in a bassinet/cradle/moses basket? If so, for how long?

2. Did you ever sleep with your baby in bed with you?

3. At what age did your baby start sleeping through the night?

4. Did you ever sleep with your baby in their car seat/bouncy chair because of a stuffed up nose?

5. At what age did your baby start eating more less often? (AKA the old, wake-them-up-if-it's-been-4-hours-during-the-day rule goes out the window).

6. Did your baby lose hair? When did it grow back?

7. What age did you start giving "cereal" to your baby?

8. How was your relationship with your pediatrician? Were they real laid back or more the uptight type?

9. How often were you having to get new clothes for your baby?

10. What's the best piece of advice you ever got as a mommy?

If you want to answer - you can hit "Comments" and somewhere on that screen click on "SHOW ORIGINAL POST" so you can refer to the list of questions as you answer them. If you'd rather not broadcast your answers online - you can e-mail me at MarieBoian@hotmail.com.

THANKS for the feedback. Just some general wonderments I've been wondering on...and while the books and things are great - and I KNOW that he's to an age now where everything is on his own time - it's still nice to hear other mommy stories!

Happy Thursday to all!

Photo Interrupted

Yep - we headed to Sears today for D's 3 month pictures.

SIDENOTE: I have to throw in this clip from the Brady Bunch movie that I think of every time I say I'm going to Sears...

Anywho - we loaded up early and headed out to make a couple exchanges, etc. and to be able to walk around the mall a bit before picture time. Charlestowne mall is a ghost town except for the department stores - but we had a good time hitting up Kohls and Gymboree (got a cute hat & shirt for D to wear in his pictures).
My sleepy baby always falls fast asleep in the stroller - and today was no exception. When I changed and fed him before the pictures he was up - but they double-booked the time slot - so by the time they got to us - he was OUT. We tried EVERYTHING to wake him up and it wasn't happening. So, that was that. We headed back OUT of Sears - with an appointment to go back next Saturday.

Wish us luck...

Baptismo

On January 3rd - D was baptized. I promised pictures...and here they are:

Vote Again

See my poll to the right...

Another chance to be a good American and vote!

(Seriously though I need opinions).

Vote for Maui!

In light of the political day we're having...I thought I'd throw this in the works.

My friend/co-worker Laura has entered her dog in a Bissell (yes, the vacuum company) contest for pets. So, do your part as an American and get in there and vote!

Good luck Maui!
