Zzzz...

This is how normal people sleep.

This is not.

Yes. He is really asleep. It seems that he not only inherited his mother's ability to sleep anywhere, but he can also sleep in any position. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage. Think of the money we could save on travel if he will sleep in suitcases...

Question of the Day

If it looks like string cheese, and it acts like string cheese, is it REALLY string cheese? No. Unfortunately, I missed snapping a picture of Chase's face upon tasting playdough for the first time. Sometimes you're just too busy laughing to get the good shot.

"Put on your Mom Jeans"

*This post inspired by Tia mentioning Mom Jeans in her blog*

"Put on your Mom Jeans," is a jingle from an SNL commercial, which WOULD have me laughing soda through my nose if I WEREN'T a mother. I am mystified by the shelf belly created by post-pregnancy. Apparently it remains forever if it is not treated with plastic surgery. Stretch marks I could live with - I don't need to wear two piece swimwear. It is the shelf which cannot be hidden, Mom Jeans or not. "Maureen," you say, "you only had a baby three weeks ago. Surely, your body will return to normal." Only if my name were Jennifer Garner or Denise Richards. Who am I trying to kid? I didn't look like either one of them before either. So, bring on the Mom Jeans. I promise not to wear them with tucked-in collared shirts and little belts.
