Costco, You're Killing Me

Jeff and I go to Costco for baby formula and Propel water, the formula is for Davis the water is for Jeff. Anyways, every single time we go there we get sucked into buying other things, one of which is the devil!!! I told Jeff, do not buy anymore of it and what does he do but toss one in the cart when I'm not looking. Your wondering what I'm talking about, right???

Davis Has 6 Teeth

Strange, right?? Not even 6 months old yet and almost a full set of chompers!! Of course some people have me freaked out that he is going to have bad teeth, but what can I do, it isn't like I asked for them. The story is that the earlier a child gets teeth, the more those teeth are prone to cavaties because they have a longer exposure to food, formula, breastmilk, or whatever. I guess Davis has to do everything early, he had to make his grand entrance into this world early and he had to get teeth early. What is next??

Wal-Martians

I have a love/hate relationship with Wally World, the main reason I go there is because they sell my coffee (Chock Full O'Nuts) super cheap, so for the most part the only time I go there is when I'm out of coffee. Anyways, Wal-Mart truly brings in a different breed of people, if you shop there don't worry I know not everyone who shops there belongs in this group, I mean really you get nutjobs anywhere you shop but for some reason Wal-Mart has a stigma attached to it. I call the weirdos I spot at our local Wal-Mart the Wal-Martians. Someone started a website, check it out daily for a good laugh, it gets updated often.

I Lost My Posting Mojo

It has been a busy week for the D and I. We have been doing lots of mommy and baby workouts aka walking the 'hood. We had baby time at the library Wednesday which was awesome!!!! We will be going every week. Mommy is joining a moms group and I'll be going to that every Thursday while my mom comes and sits with Davis. I can take him with me as they provide childcare, but he is always napping at that time so why wake him up to drag him out just for some stranger to watch him, right?? Next week's meeting is "4 Myths of Motherhood".

On a silly note, some of my old twirling buds are on Facebook. Some of them have daughters that now twirl in the same group we were in and I guess the girl who runs the group is having a mom's class. She said it will probably start in October. I cannot wait!!!!!!! I hope I get to have a recital, I'll invite everyone and you can come laugh at me.


This is circa 1993, Northview High School, Freshman Year

Davis went to his grandma's house yesterday to stay the night so Jeff and I could go out and celebrate my 31st birthday which was a few days ago. We went to Sakura and both had the filet, it was delicious as always. Afterwards we came home for a bit and relaxed, changed our clothes and headed out to Mr. Freeze for some soft serve. I love Mr. Freeze and haven't been there all summer. We were both pretty full from dinner so we each only managed to eat half of our ice cream.

Then we decided to look at houses in one of my favorite (overpriced) neighborhoods, wishful thinking, ha! Anyways, we discovered that the price on lots dropped from well over $100,000 down to $28,000 in this awesome economy. We are so tempted to buy one, but I think subdivisions probably have rules that you have to build on your lot within a certain period of time and we wouldn't be ready to build for at least 5 years, maybe a little longer. I'm still going to call the realtor who has the lots listed and ask questions though, doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Back to cleaning.

Davis was a cranky pants today, I'm not sure if it was from the shots the other day or because he is getting another tooth. Probably a combo of both. Poor kid. He is sleeping now for the night.

We went on a walk tonight with Jeff and Maizy, Jeff switched Davis' stroller seat to position #2 (sitting up) and flipped the handlebar so he could face out. I like him in position #1 (laying down) facing me, I'm selfish, I like to see my baby while we walk and chat with him. Although Jeff decided the tires needed air, the stroller came with a pump, what a joke. I'm going to have to take it to my parent's house and have my dad put air in it with the big compressor. Or I suppose we could take it to the gas station too. You'd think that stroller would come with a better pump, oh well. I guess they can't include everything.

Jeff is folding laundry right now and having a fit because of the static. He is obsessed with fabric softener so he is quizzing me about how much I used and making sure I used a dryer sheet too. Dork, maybe he should do the laundry. So maybe I missed the softener, eh, big deal.

Tomorrow we are going out for my 31st birthday dinner!! Yumm-o!!!

Davis had to go for the 2nd half of his 4 month shots today. I split them up because I don't think he should have 4 shots in one visit, so we did 2 at 4 months and the other 2 at 5 months. So he pretty much gets shots every month on the alternate schedule, if we chose to do the AAP recommended schedule he'd get them every 2 months. He was a little trooper, he cried for about 2 minutes and then he was done. He fell asleep on the way home. After he woke up from his nap we played for a long time, took a long walk with Daddy, came home, had some green beans and pears for dinner, he took a bath, had a bottle and went to bed around 8 p.m. Pretty good day!

I made crock pot lasagna tonight, it was a new recipe, it was so-so. It was easy so that is a bonus, but if I make it again I'm going to have to spruce it up Jilly style.

We got season 2 of Californication from Netflix today, so guess what we are doing? Watching it tonight :o)
