I know it’s super-late for this, but too bad. It’s my blog and I didn’t get time in December… and technically, the twelve days of Christmas don’t end until January 6th. Here we go. I love the Christmas season. When I was little, I of course got deliriously excited about Santa Claus and presents. And…

Baby anecdotes
Happy New Year!
2010 is going to be great. You know how I know? Waking up (not the first time, or any middle times, but the last time) to tiny fingers sorta tickling my shoulder… rolling my head around and opening my eyes to see E’s upside-down smile, and his gorgeous eyes looking into mine. It’s just perfect….
Random (some important, some not) Items
E is six months old today! He remains the cutest baby in the world. In fact, a guest at my first official “away” Pampered Chef party (chez ma soeur) said to me, “You have the cutest baby!” I told her I agree, but I’m biased, and she said, “Feel good thinking that! He really is…
Sploosh
I’ve been asked, with regard to the happy/greedy sighs that E makes while having a particularly good feed, “how do you keep your love from splooshing you away?” I think I may have given this simple answer at the time, and it’s still true: I don’t. I get splooshed away every single day. My husband…
A Nice Day
It’s been a really nice day. It was mild and kinda sunny, with a balmy breeze. I would not have approved of this twenty years ago, because I would have been clamouring for snow, but right now I’m okay with it. My hubby had a day off, so we had croissants for breakfast and played…
Solid Sunday
We did it! A special trip out was made from my parents’ house, specifically to purchase baby rice cereal. (Apparently Heinz has bought the Pablum name, because this box of deliciousness affiliated itself with both.) I know I said avocado, but I guess I’m just more comfortable with tradition – almost everyone says to start…
The Solids Odyssey
He must be ready – all the signs are there. He watches the journey from fork/bowl/fingers/spoon to mouth, he reaches for it and grabs if he can. Everything he grabs, he directs straight for his mouth. He is even distracted from breastfeeding by this. The other day he suddenly stuck his hand right in my…
Friends Are Nice
The Grand Opening Pampered Chef cooking show was a success! That is to say, people came, we chatted, we made food, we used fun tools, guests bought products, and the Three-Cheese Garden Pizza was delicious. Thanks everyone, for attending, and for your kind wishes! Being a consultant is going to involve a significant learning curve,…
Mish Mash Belly Bash
The show was a great success! We danced our hearts out, any costume malfunctions were minimal, everyone got to their places on time, and we all had fun. And the drum choreography was a total hit. Plus, E was an absolute angel. I mean, he’s always an angel, but this was even when faced with…
Hectic
