Our Arizona Trip

By -
I realize this is "old news" but I got some good pictures of our Memorial Day trip to Tucson that I wanted to share. It was Marie's first plane trip and any out-of-town trip for that matter and she did G-r-r-rreat! She nursed during take off and landing and slept the entire rest of the way there. The third pic is from the way back - she did basically the same thing on the way home except cooed for a little while and flirted with the people behind us. The only snafu was a blow out after landing. Luckily, there was a family restroom very close to the gate we landed at.
In Tucson, we were greeted at the airport by her cousins (Brittney, Kailee & Brandon), her aunts and uncle (Carrie, Mike & Kim) and her Nana. Despite being the entire center of attention and surrounded by almost all new people, she didn't fuss a bit - not even when Brandon gave her a kiss. She met 21 new people in a span of three days, including pictures of the following: my dad, Grama Lyd, Grandma Rollman, high school friend Chelsea Garner and her son Asher, and aunt Norma.

What a sweet girl! I know all your friends and family just ate up the time with her. Tonight we were discussing you (Laura) at the dinner table (as we often do) and Andrew must have tuned in as he started up with his "Baby Marie" talk again. :-) Soooo cute. We must have another date with her soon.

It was really fun to see you guys even for a short time. Since then we've gotten Asher a sand toy thing for the backyard and a little swimming pool. He loved the sand box so much at Dan's parents house! Hope you guys are well!

A Few More of my Favorite (Mommy) Things

I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...

JJ is at it again

Last year my mother-in-law gave us a plastic snow globe, which, the kids LOVE. I think that's in part because they are actually allowed to play with it and real snow globes are off limits. With JJ it is a very good thing real snow globes are off limits. Just watch this:

A Few of My Favorite (Mommy) Things

One of my favorite (no, it is my FAVORITE) blogs is It's Almost Naptime and Missy is doing a Mom-to-Mom post where anyone (even the likes of me) can submit some of their mommy tips and how-tos to make life easier. So without further ado here are some of my favorite things, with and without photos: Contoured Laundry Basket - a MUST-HAVE for any mom with a baby - you can hold it and the baby while going up and down the stairs! And even when you aren't holding a baby, you are likely holding something else. The Time Timer - a visual "clock" for kids who can't yet tell time. We use it for quiet time and I can put up to 2 hours on the clock (the red can wrap around twice) and tell Marie she can come out of her room when "all the red is gone." It's on the expensive side but very cool. (Thanks for telling me about it Jane.) Frozen, Rotten Bananas - well kind of... our household won't eat bananas if they are the slightest bit mushy. Once they ar...
