Thanksgiving

By -
So we made it to and from Tucson without having a baby on the plane or Arizona! The flights were more or less uneventful except for that fact that Marie did not sleep ANY on either flight. That is 7 hours of flying, much of which would have been after her bed time or during her nap time but no, of course she did not sleep. Even I typically sleep an hour or two when I fly but not this little one. This should be her last flight as a lap child and I think that makes a lot of sense. She might have slept had she had her own seat.
Thanksgiving in Tucson was gorgeous. It was 80 degrees on Thursday and we ate outside. Check out the pictures Dan's sister took of our fam. You can see how pregnant I am - 37 weeks and 2 days today. I hope our little guy comes early (my due date is Dec. 21st) - Liz is coming to town Dec. 15th-21st and if he doesn't come before then, it would be ideal if I went into labor then so I wouldn't have to worry about arranging childcare for Marie. However, I have a slew of friends who are willing to watch her so if that needs to happen, I know she will be well-taken care of and loved on. We have such a wonderful community of friends here.
And lastly, here are some cutie pictures of Marie being tickled and
attacked with kisses by her daddy. I just love these!

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:

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...
