Well I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's chilly here but it is definiately cooler I love September here.

Gwen is so cute Davina Love her outfit.

Elaina has I guess hit the language explosion. She can't really say the new words right away but she tries and gets very close, and wants to point at everything and have me say what they are That's fun. And she says some things really well like Hi, Daddy! and Hi Kitty! and Nice Kitty. She loves going down slides.

Here is my latest favorite pic of her.

Hope everyone is enjoying this weekend! It's lovely here, I'm going to hang some laundry and we might go to a peace rally later on and I am hoping to sew some longies from a lambswool sweater today

fey- ahh i am jealous, you are so artistic!

not much to report here, i am just getting frustrated because i can't find enough time to study, the baby is *so* distraught over being separated from me that i don't want to send him off with my parents for more time, but i can't concentrate when he's around. so i am getting behind, which is so not like me.

[anabellee]

i don't even want to think about school. yuck. mamita

gwen is adorable davina! glad you stopped in

the pic of Elaina on the slide is too cute!

: bama!

Ugh, Michelle, the mere thought of being a student again gives me a queasy stomach. Give yourself some time, you'll find a good balance.
We are in Cincinnati for the wedding of one of Alex's friends...he was one of Alex's groomsmen in our wedding, and Alex is one of his. So he's been involved in wedding stuff since 10:30 this morning, the ceremony was from 1 - 2:30 (gotta love those Catholic weddings ) and my in laws drove up to stay with Cully while I went to the ceremony. I dropped them all off at a mall near the church so I wouldn't be too far away, and Cully did GREAT. He had a really good time with them, didn't fuss when I left (I watched from the car) and happily strolled around the mall with them. So then they came back to the hotel with Cully & I, we walked around for a bit, and now they are gone. I'm waiting for Alex to get back (they spent 3 hours driving around the city for picture taking...man, my wedding was a piece of CAKE ). Cully hasn't had too much in the way of naps today, so wish me luck for the reception. Of course there's a head table, so I'm going to be sitting with a bunch of people that I don't know while trying to harrang a squirmy 15 month old. Should be a hoot.

Fey - the computer is weird about loading pictures on whatever system I am on (some security thing I have installed) and I am WAITING to see that picture!!! ....Ooooooooooo...there it is. Wow...just beautiful. That look of sheer innocence and...man, I don't even know what. That expression, and those little baby lips and the little wispy hair...

Just so gorgeous it makes me tear up a little. :

[bamamom]

hehe..yeah..Dh's fave team(LSU tigers!) are playing right now..y'all wish me luck that they win!! It'll better my chances!

Cute pictures, Davina! Danny does that "raa raa" barking, too.

And a beautiful picture of Elaina, too, Fey.

Last night was such a horrible drag -- neither boy would go to bed and I was SO exhausted. Feeling for all the single mothers out there. To make matters worse, I had to study for MY class today, because I decided to take Jackson Hewitt's tax preparation class so that I can work PT as a tax preparer next spring. It's 9-3 on Saturday for 11 weeks. Numbers don't come easily to me so it's a nice mental workout, and I am excited to be doing something different. My mom and dad both watched the kids today and thankfully that all worked out.

AF came yesterday too

Finally, I got one of those pedometer things where you're supposed to take 10,000 steps a day to be healthy ....? I thought I was pretty active, only to take my pedometer off at the end of the day with ...... less than 2500 steps! :

PS Wanted to post my own cute picture of baby sleeping on the subway:

It's our first week of church and Sunday school today. I need to get everyone up and going in a bit. My early bird (E.) is already up and has eaten.

Off to a nephew's birthday party this afternoon.

[bamamom]

McLisa, She is ADORABLE!! Those eyes!!!

[twouglyducks]

Hey everyone! Saw the thread and thought I would check in. I am pregnant! Almost out of the first trimester. Still nursing a ton, but it hurts when Taso latches on and for some wacky reason it is more painful at night.
I put a new pic of Taso on my blog.

congratulations ashley! we're sort of forming an informal ddc amongst ourselvs as several of us are pg again. glad to hear from you.

in unhappy news......ds has bad butt rash. it looks aweful. atleast imo. he's never really had one before so this is all new territory. i'm thinking perhaps an allergic reaction to the wipes they use at daycare. i'm going to make some cloth ones to use at home but normally he uses the huggies sensitive skin ones ans seems fine. those are all he's ever used. i'm only guessing the wipes because he's been pooping a lot and he's needed to be changed at daycare more frequently (he usually is only there for 3 hours) so perhaps a combo of poop and wipes? i'm totally lost. it doesn't seem to be bothering him but man it looks ouchie. i coated him in burts bees and put a pampers on him tonight to help keep him dryer. any suggestions?

[ex-stasis]

congrats ashley!

anne - dd's butt sometimes gets really red if she's pooping a lot. can you ask them at the dc to use different wipes? i don't really have any suggestions besides that and just keep doing what you're doing... maybe pay attention to what he's eating? nothing too acidic? i don't know...

[bamamom]

take butt cream and have them put it on him after every change.

use only water and kleenex or tp on him if he gets red...the chemicals in wipes make it worse and it BURNS!!

ask them to use your huggies sensitive wipes only at daycare. that's not even an issue. just put them in a container and put his name on there.

[hattoo]

Dd has a bad diaper rash and the only thing different for her is that she's teething (cutting those dreaded molars). I find letting her run naked for a while after changing to let her air dry before putting the cream on works the best. I don't know if your daycare would be up for that, though because it sometimes means pee on the carpet! Good luck. Sage's hurt so bad tonight that she didn't want to be picked up.

[hattoo]

BTW, I'm researching Chariot Carriers. Does anyone have any advice on this subject that they'd like to pass on?

page 2?? even the bottom of page 2!! totally unacceptable people!!

Where is everyone?? I went to my first NINO babywearing meeting today! it was fun!!

Hi mamas, it's been a while since I poked my head in but wanted to give a shout out. Ryan is getting so big and keeping me busy, plus I'm back in school and so are the older two kiddos. Taking prereqs to get into nursing school, plus volunteering a lot, sort of kind of looking for work, yadda, yadda. Ryan finally cut 5 teeth since his birthday, the most recent 3 in the last 2 weeks. When I'm home he is still quite the booby guy, but isn't quite used to his new teeth which can hurt a bit. We'll get over this though.

Oh yeah, our basement flooded over the weekend, YUCK! So we have a lot of cleaning and purging to do there, too, before it gets too nasty. Apparently roiots grew into the pipes and had to be removed. However the plumber was kind of cute, he had a very thick Irish accent and asked how old my "wee laddy" was. Turns out he has a 13 mo daughter. What a nice guy.

Anyway wanted to see how everyone was doing. I can't believe the wee ones are actually toddlers now. Take care everyone.

I thought Mothering was suppose to leave the political stuff out. The ad where I'm posting now is something about the best war ever: lies and the mess in Irag. Hmmm... that seems so against what they usually have for ads.


Anyways, it's nice to have the site back up and running. Just tired and very nauseated in the middle of the night when I have to get up with one of the girls.

Maddie is still struggling to get up in the morning and on the bus. So not a morning person.

Ellysia loves preschool. We were talking about it one day and tells me: Miss Sherry says Less talking and eyes on me. Ellysia loves to talk so I'm not sure if this is directed specifically at her or the class in general. Would not surprise me if it is to her.

Claire is really walking. This morning she didn't crawl at all. Just toddled around the living room. She got her first real pair of shoes yesterday. Hopefully that will help keep her socks on. We lost one at a store yesterday while running errands.

so here's my post to rescue us from the bottom of page 2!
