Photography

The husband and I have been fortunate to meet a great photographer. He will come to the house and take pictures. The man is very patient and creative. Some of the photos from early in my pregnancy were taken by Bill. He also took a first week photos. We plan to have him take all our photos for the first year. Email Bill and tell him I sent you and he will give you a deal. He would be great to use for Christmas card photos.

Go on check him out!

Spa Day

Ahh a scalp massage!

So this is what you did all day!

Momma had a spa day. The husband gave me a gift card to the spa for my birthday. I was able to use it today. I received a facial and a seaweed body rub with hydrotherapy. I cried the drive to the spa. It is so hard to leave the baby. The facial was great. The tech decided to tell me all about her birth experience. Why do people feel the need to share everything? She started to tear up when she told me her three year old son recently stopped breastfeeding. Are you kidding me? The seaweed rub was very weird. I went into a room that looked like the inside of a drive thru car wash.

She scrubbed me with salt and then turned on the water. She used a big hose and then a sprinkle system came on. Next came the Green seaweed rub. The smell was not so pleasant. The another rinse through the car wash. Next an application of Caribbean lotion. I felt all greased up. Although the trip to the spa was nice, I couldn't wait to get home to my boy. I gave him a spa night with his bath.

Here comes the hot pepper!

Late Halloween pic I forgot to post!

Blue Man

Mom, do we have to take pictures?

I feel very blue today.

Thank goodness she took that hat off.

Cradle Crotch and other childhood diseases

I overheard the husband talking on the phone to his friend. They were talking about the baby. He believes that the baby said daddy last night. The husband was bragging about how great the baby is doing. He said that the baby only has one problem. He has cradle crotch. He went on to explain how he has flakes in his hair and that most babies get that. I started laughing. He must have been talking about cradle cap. Maybe cradle crotch is the new STD for infants who share diapers, wipes, or butt cream. You will start to see warning labels on all infant materials. We must protect our children from cradle crotch.

G3 got a new toy

G3 is not a big fan of tummy time. I bought him the Ocean Wonders Kick and Crawl Aquarium. The jury is still out on its success. You will notice in the picture that he is not on his tummy.

Interview with a nanny

Ahh! Not that one! Does she have a stripper pole in her purse mom?

So we had many responses to the nanny add. Nanny's who could not spell or speak any English were automatically eliminated. The first nanny arrived 20 minutes late. She called three times asking for directions. She is a student at SLU majoring in social work. She was able to answer all my questions correctly and come up with infant appropriate activities. The second nanny was a no call no show. The third nanny smelled like she bathed in perfume. She also thought painting and playing with cooked noodles was a good activity for an infant. Next! The last nanny arrived with her mother. She was wearing a leopard print coat with tight black leather boots. Her mother wore a short black mini skirt and a black tank top. I expected stripper music to start playing. Needless to say they did not stay in the house very long.
