{5} I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet. But I am loving the new season of American Idol. I have to admit, I wasn't too pumped up about the new cast of judges...but now, I think the show is better than ever. Seriously. How cute is Jennifer Lopez? And while Steven Tyler makes me a bit uncomfortable at times, I'm loving the humor he adds to the show. I think my fave line of his so far was when one of the contestants said he was a pharmaceutical sales rep; to which Steven Tyler replied, "We've got a lot in common then b/c that was pretty much my whole seventies." At least he's honest! :) What does everyone else think about the new season?
{4} I am totally o.v.e.r. the spit-up. Any other mommies of babies w/ acid reflux feel my pain? I think Shelby & I each changed clothes no short of 3 times yesterday before I even got to eat my bagel. Ugh. And I really wish that every baby product could be covered in some type of vinyl or wipe-able surface. I can't even count how many times I've had to clean spit-up off of the car seat, swing, and every other not-easy-to-clean item. Thankfully, Shelby is real cute, which makes up for the yuckiness of the incessant spit-up.{3} People seem to wear flip-flops year-round in Biloxi. I guess that's what comes with life on the Gulf Coast. But we have been having some serious wet and cold weather here this week..the kind of weather that makes you actually have to wear a jacket {gasp!} and put on socks. But low and behold, what did I see at Wal-Mart last night? A person wearing socks...with their flip-flops. Way to keep it classy.
{2} I heart Cold Stone. So my super-sweet & thoughtful mama searched high & low for Cold Stone hot chocolate {apparently it's a new item & hard to find in stores} and sent me some in a care package for my birthday. I had my first taste of it last night and it was quite delish, but I'm not sure it's any better than Nestle's hot chocolate.{1} I'm wondering how long I can get away with keeping Shelby in her jammies exclusively. As a result of the excessive spit-up {please reference #4}, it is soooo much easier to keep her jammies all day b/c that's the easiest/quickest thing to change her in & out of all day. I used to just keep her in jammies all day at home and put her in a cute outfit whenever we'd leave the house. But then Derek brought up two good points in defense of leaving her in jammies even when we do go out...when we're out about, she's usually in her car seat 90% of the time so no one would even see the cute outfit and she's just a baby. So that's what we do most of the time these days. But, I can't help but wonder, when is it no longer appropriate to leave a kid in jammies anymore? {Or is it ever appropriate?!} Help!
And now you know why 99,9% of the pictures I take of Shelby are of her in her jammies. At least they're cute jammies, right? Does that make it any better??
When they are tiny like that, jammies count as an outfit :) Carter is almost 2 and on days when we don't leave the house, he'll stay in his jammies all day. It's just so comfortable!!
ReplyDeleteYou are seriously a girl after my own heart. I agree with 4 out of the 5. Only one not because I have not tasted the Cold Stone hot chocolate, nor did I know they made any. It is now on my list of things to do :) And being a momma of a spit-uppy baby too, I don't even attempt to put anything decent on either of us until we are pretty much walking out the door. Jammies totally fit in that decent category! For her, not me :( :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! You have made me feel MUCH better about our always-in-our-jammies situation! And I'm with you Molly...if only it were okay for us too!!!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the spit up thing. Just wait until she starts crawling around....then there is spit up all over the floor :( I always made sure I had a blanket down, but when Carter started moving that didn't matter. Whew...I don't miss that :) Once he grew out of it, we got the carpets cleaned..haha.
