Another Milestone

Saoirse rolled from her back to her stomach on Friday! (i think it was fri., it all kind of runs together when you are tired all the time. lol)

Bath Nite

She woke up just to tell me this...

...and it took a good 5 minutes to finish her story.
Since she was smiling in her sleep, I'd like to think that she was explaining the crazy dream she just had. "You were there mommy, and dada too and there was a magical unicorn and lots of kittens! we all played peek-a-boo, and then daddy did his silly belly dance, it was so funny!"

Super Happy Fun Videos

Our Saturday

Saoirse tried to eat her Dada's thumb @ Chipotle, teething is unhappy times..lol.

Dada offered a cold drink to take the edge off. :D

Saoirse showing off her "beer" belly. ha!
(notice that mama figured out how to pixelate! yay!)

Then she had a relaxing bath...

and went night-night.
(on the couch next to Dada, who is reading Twilight
because every woman he knows won't stop obsessing about it. lol.)

Saoirse rolled over from her belly to her back TWICE today! whoo hoo!

Amber Teething

In my last picture post, Saoirse is wearing an amber teething bracelet. I didn't know anything about these until a couple of months ago. We got her a bracelet and a necklace for christmas and I'm experimenting with them. It makes me a little nervous to put jewelry on a baby, especially since I'm not a jewelry person myself. I mean, I love looking at it, but I don't wear it. I don't even wear a wedding ring. anway, going off topic there... lol. so ya, the amber's "analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties make it ideal as a natural (no drugs) homeopathic product for babies and children." and we are ALL about homeopathic remedies for our little Boots. I've talked to several moms who swear by these and say they even work as a pain reliever for adults.

Nipples

Did I get your attention? lol.

As a nursing mother, this is an important topic to me.

Bath time!

everything loves kittens

I had a video of a very cute baby bathtime to post but then realized that her ladybits were showing and i'd rather not post it on the internet. so until the next bathtime, here is a video of a parrot and a cat. :D

Tummy Time

Over the weekend that we celebrated Saoirse's 3-month birthday and Mark's mom Becky's birthday on Saturday with a trip to Crown Center. I put her in the ring sling and she was pretty fascinated with all the holiday chaos. I was suprised she lasted through our dinner, but shortly after she demanded HER dinner so I gave up and headed to the car. So we left without pictures, bummer. We'll try again after Christmas maybe.

Camera Dump

Her fav. thing EVAR lately is sitting up,
but she's not too sure about the Bumbo seat and the
Bebe Pod (pictured here).
Santa @ US Central last Sat.
We took this with our camera,
but we should be getting the professional shot soon.

There's never an empty lap at the Tooley house.

Owl Shirt Day

What is this thing mommy??

Potty Mouth

err..you know, cause I'm going to talk about diapers now. lol.

my original plan was to use special fancy biodegradable diapers for a few weeks at least and then switch to cloth. in reality, we ended up using whatever people gave us which was some Huggies, Pampers , Seventh Generation Chlorine Free and finally boatload of Earth's Best Chlorine Free (which was getting closer to where I wanted to go with our diapering plan).

yesterday we went to Babies R Us to pick up some more more Earth's Best and I was super excited to see that they now sell my special fancy biodegradable Nature Babycare diapers! YAY!!! they are awesome! . they also sell g Diapers as well now (a hybrid diaper that i've blogged about before), so i'm interested in trying those when Saoirse moves up into size 2.

I'm not sure i'll ever get to a place where i'm using all cloth. I mean, my heart is there theorically... but it's the reality of it that scares me a little. I was considering trying a diaper service at first, but then I heard that the only diaper service in town is no longer in business. poop! lol.

My goal is to try cloth for at least a day or two at some point. So far, Saoirse has really been so small that these teeny little disposables have been the only thing I wanted to mess with. Maybe when she gets bigger I'll get brave.

Genius Cat Haiku

oh, I scratched the couch
does that upset you? you mad?
you had me neutered

I love to eat grass
though it makes me sick each time
like you and vodka

I lounge in the sun
savoring the morning scents
have fun at your job
