Just in case you're wondering..

...what it looks like when you put A+D Original Ointment--Diaper Rash Ointment and Skin Protectant (aka "Poopy Cream") in your hair.. now you know:



A little more greasy than conditioner and it doesn't smell as nice.

How does the saying go? Put conditioner/poopy cream in your hair once, shame on you. Put conditioner/poopy cream in your hair twice, shame on mommy?

BTW, this happened while I was desperately trying to figure out how to get my videos to load properly.

Does anyone

have any idea why my videos won't post properly??

The Tongue Game..

I'm getting backlogged with my videos, so I better get some out here.

My husband reads the Baby Center updates more than most men read the sports page. So, he knows that a developmental milestone is for a baby to mimic someone sticking their tongue out as demonstrated below:

Mommy, I want to take a bap.

When you hear those words... stop what you're doing and give her a bath. Otherwise, she might take matters into her own hands.. hair and bean bag.

Makena eating lunch..

I have been trying to post some videos for several days but blogger keeps choking on them. I'm desperately trying to get the last post to disappear into cyberspace archives. Anyway, I was just looking through some old emails and came across this photo of Mark, Makena and Flipper. It ranks really high on the list of all time favorite photos so I figured I'd share it even though it's old. It's unbelievable how much she reminds me of Kessler. It would be just like him to try to eat a dolphin's snout!

I want my money back!!!!

For my family in Australia who might wonder if I have lost my mind by putting these photos here.. Glamour Shots is a place where a lot of us silly American girls went to get done up with gaudy make-up and clothing. We then would have our photo taken so we could forever be reminded of our poor judgement. Some others have decided it would be a good idea to share those photos. I am succumbing to peer pressure.

Though I am not proud of these, I am lucky to report that mine are quite tame in comparison to my fellow bloggers, Femme and Melek.

I do feel cheated that they didn't use a half a bottle of hair spray on me or even break out the curling iron. The probable cause behind this, another thing I'm not proud of, is mine were taken in 2001. Yep, only 7 years ago. I nearly died when I saw the date on the photo. This would be Femme's fault. She had the foresight to realize that providing a gift certificate to Glamour Shots would lead to a lot of laughs down the road.

Making Progress..

Kessie's head was measured today for the first time since he was sized for his helmet back on Feb 7. He's had his helmet for 13 days. Here's a diagram which shows his progress! The orthotist said it's perfect for this stage.

The red is where he was on Feb 7. The blue is as of today!
