wish list

I started thinking about what I will do different with baby #2 and what I won't use, and what I most definately need to buy.  Thankfully there weren't a ton of things that came to mind, but I did manage to think up some alterations in my mothering plan.  Like the fact that I need to purchase more pumping equipment to make nursing last longer, and how I want to start right off the bat with a noise machine to hope to help with sleep!  I'm not yet sure if I want to start the pacifier and deal with having to eventually get rid of, or deal with the repercussion of a paci dependant baby, but it definitely would have its benefits.  I think I want to wear my baby a great deal more, and possibly go to cloth diapers...having said that, in my search for irresistible baby "needs"  I came across some images that made me very happy.  some are much more practical than others :)

LOLA Mary Jane Crochet Baby Shoes 
I HAVE to have a friend who can just whip these up for me...LIZ?  anybody?

Product Image Moby Wrap Baby Carrier- Olive

I think I am going to invest in a Moby Wrap.  I love the closeness, and the comfort of the cloth.  My sister gave me a wonderful shower gift of a maya wrap, however, the fabric was a bit  less soft, and I never quite mastered it.

Gap Natural Soothing Sleep Sheep Stuffed Animal
My sister-in-law had a noise machine similar to this one, and it attached to the car seat, crib or ANYWHERE.  I was jealous!  I would love to leave Benjamin's noise machine in the bedroom, and leave this one in the car!

More wish list items to come...Right now I am too tired!

my happy little guy




Viesha!



Benjamin and Mommy went to the Viesha parade for the first time!  I have been to all the yummy food stands before with Joel, but this year, not having to work on a Saturday, Dad got to introduce us to our first Viesha parade.  We got there late, and Benjamin couldn't see a lot, but he didn't seem to like the horses a lot!

"cake pops" and lions

 I'm interested if anyone has made "cake pops" before.  I want to make them for Benjamin's birthday party and i'm doing my first experiment tonight.  If anyone has great ideas for Lion themes, or advice for cake pops, please share!
