You're so vain...

You probably think this blog is about you! (And it is...)

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but this girl can't walk past a mirror without looking at herself. 
It's pretty funny.  She just stares at herself, probably thinking, "what's that really small balding thing?" 

On another note, I still don't think this poor girl has figured out that her arms and hands are attached to her body.  When she does, that will be a great day for her. 


The Baby Bjorn...what a great invention.  So great for sortof getting things done.  I've heard people say that can just do anything in these things...maybe I've got it strapped on wrong, but I can only partially do things.  It helps me remember to bend at the knees instead of the waist, otherwise it feels like she'd fall out.  One mom friend of mine said she cooks dinner with her baby in this... I do some dinner prep, but the whole time I am plotting out my plan of attack for when Blakely barfs all over whatever I am cooking. 

I will say, this thing makes the necessities possible.  Such as: going to the bathroom.  Blakely cries so much that I sometimes can't even set her down for that.   I know, I know..."Just let her cry."  I don't know if it is because I am a wimp or what, but I just can't set her down knowing she will cry, even if it's just for a few minutes.  Now if she's already crying, well that's a different story.  Everyone says I'll be different with my next kid, but I'd like to think that I'll always do whatever I can to help my baby stop crying (not that I can get Blakely to stop crying anyway, but I at least try!)  Some people are a little grossed out that I go to the bathroom with her in this thing.  Excuse me?  I wipe her poopy butt 8 times a day, I think she can accompany me to the john once in a while.  :)

And another, and maybe better, invention is the Moby wrap.  It's a hippie-ish "baby wearing" thingy that is awesome.  My inner hippie has come out in motherhood- baby wearing, cloth diapers, etc.  When Blakely is FREAKING out, this thing will eventually get her to fall asleep.  Downside: She's stuck there.  And look at my awesome husband who will proudly wear his baby.
