@dani+california Oshkosh has the cutest stuff ! I just packed up so much of it that doesnt fit LO anymore, I think Q is bigger than my Drake though? I can't remember from pics

@smushi I get the same thing! My guy smiles at everything and everyone . He's a bit of a flirt too. But yeah gets annoying when people are like is he always that happy.. like no he usually spits nails.

I call DS tub tub. I think of fat baby as a compliment.

I sing "Mrs. Fat Stuff" to Edolie to the tune of "Mr. Big Stuff" )

I sing " I Like My Cereal, Cereal " to the tune of "Let's Get Physical" every morning at breakfast. He enjoys it .

-

Slept in guest room last night. My guy is just so fussy . Poor boy. Sick babies suck. He d cry for his sucky but then spit it out cause he cant breathe with it in ( stuffy runny nose) and then forget that and cry for it again .

Good stuff= How To get Away With Murder is on tonight , there is coffee, online shopping as LO needs hat + mitts and I need footwear that is not heels, flipflops or uggs perhaps also fall coat.

@soultermination Wow ! I gather you don't use it much ? Could you avoid it completely and use the kitchen counter to make the salsa or is that a no go ? If so i vote push it all in a bag to sort through at your leisure . I say that like we have leisure time .

@mom2boxers‌ I thought the full moon was the night before last...? That might explain one shitty night of sleep, but every other night sucks too (albeit not as much!).

Wait, wait, @edoliesmom‌, you're nuts saying Boston doesn't have famous stuff! The North Church isn't a "famous" landmark - one if by land two if by sea? The harbor where the Tea Party happened? Walden Pond? Bunker Hill?

The set of Cheers???

I'm just south of Boston, there is also Plymouth, the Mayflower, the rock, the plantation. There is Battleship Cove in Fall River, Louisa May Allcotts house, Sturbridge Village.

Baby clothes sizes pretty much mean nothing. DS was busting out of a 6-9 month onesie this morning, yet two days ago he was wearing a 0-3 month onesie. His baptism is in a little over a week and I tried putting his 6-9 month outfit on him and it was no where near buttoning! I'm talking an inch away from buttoning. I looked again and really small under 6-9 months it said 12-18 lbs. Uhh, my DS is not quite 6 months yet and almost 23 lbs. :-?

Holy fuck I drive over cobblestones all the time because there so historic that people shit bricks whenever anyone wants to rip them out. Plus the mills!! This place is a history book. The only other place you could go for this stuff is probably DC
Not DC - Philly! Liberty bell, independence hall, valley forge, Constituiton center, Betsy Ross house, Ben Franklin's house, etc. DC doesn't have any revolutionary era stuff bc it was still a swamp. Philadelphia was the first capital! DC has awesome free museums and lots of history stuff, but not that era. The Revolution is all Philly and Boston.

The south has a metric buttload of Revolutionary war stuff, if you're interested in battle sites. More battles were fought in South Carolina than any other state!

I'm getting a masters certificate in Revolutionary war history and give heritage talks and stuff like that. Love me some revolutionary war history!

Yup !

They're nonsense . I find that its usually not even consistant through one brand . I always have to look at each item individually to gauge size.

Pain in the ass when ordering online.

I would say my guy is in 6 month sizes , depends though . I find Baby Gap's/Old Navy sizes to run quite large ( or maybe they are just diff from CDN sizes ) but Carters/Oshkosh are pretty true yet inconsistant . One day he will have on a 6 month onesie , the next a 9 . Same with pants, is wearing stuff 6-9 months but had on a pair of 18 month pj pants last night.. Just makes no sense !!

Huh, I never thought about it, but y'all would have the most battlefields. I still stand by the highest concentration of "stuff" being in Philly and Boston, because that's where the Congress was held, the fighting started, and the rebels were meeting and conspiring. I've been a Revolutionary War geek Since I was like 6 and carried around the VHS of 1776 everywhere I went. Cool master's!!

I never thought of it till we moved here, either! Pretty much everywhere I go there's a historical site.

You're definitely right for concentration though!

I want to eat everything that's not in the house. We have a ton of food, but I just want a greasy piece of pizza.

@dani+california and anyone else so inclined.

Help me organize my very deep and narrow closet with rod running front to back (want to store Blaire's stuff in it)

and

Organize DH's five million t-shirts that need to be contained in our dresser drawers.

Pizza, or a gyro from pita pit. Mmmmm.

edoliesmom · October 2014

Alright, people, you just want me to GBCB, don't you?! :P I know Boston is historical (admittedly not to what level and what was there), but I meant more of the better known cliche kind of places. I love colonial, where-America-began kind of history, but I never said I was a history buff. Apparently I have a lot to learn!

Vinny, I looked up Fanuiel Hall, and that place sounds so cool! I would love to see it. I would love to see all of Boston actually. I was telling Brent last night that I would love to go to either place (he went to DC in 7th grade but has never been to Boston, and we've only driven through the shady part of Philly), but that I feel Boston would have more of a magical feeling. I want to walk down cobblestone streets where there are houses from the 18th and 19th centuries! I'm sure I could find that in a lot of states though... And I want to go to historical places and have tons of moments like, "Oh my gosh, this happened here, and this person probably stood in this very spot when they did this specific thing."

@embear22 Yes he is! Good memory. lol He learned all of this stuff obviously, but he only researches and learns more in depth about the stuff he's interested in. He's more into Texas history and America from like the 50s-70s and all the political stuff... Yawn.

MommaY4814 · October 2014

We had a full blown fiasco last night. Henry was a running a fever from his shots..so I get up to get the Tylenol..give him just a little, he gags and pukes everywhere! We both had to have baths.

He felt well enough to smile the whole time though. :P crazy kid.

edoliesmom · October 2014

In RTT or A14 as a whole? There are a couple I can think of off the top of my head if you're asking about A14.

Oh, and Cheers doesn't appeal to me because I've never seen it. It was a little before my time I think.

No, we hardly ever use it, lol. I could use the kitchen counters but it takes me a couple hours to make my salsa and I don't want to stand that long. ^^;;

I got it mostly cleaned last night, so I'll probably finish it this weekend!

Sassy teethers kicking our ass today. 102.8F fever. Called doc's office and explained that she's basically her normal self, just fussier and with a fever. Nurse agreed it's probably just teething and advised Tylenol, or maybe Advil now that she's 6 months, and check her temp after an hour to make sure the fever's dropping. First dose dropped it a bit over a degree.

My poor girl. Teething sucks!

It's my anniversary today, and I'm really hoping my husband will surprise me with something when he comes home today! Buuuut he's not really the type to do that, so I won't get my hopes up.

Oh no.

I won't complain about mine then! He's sweet and always does get me something or we do something, but he's just not very good at being romantic or spontaneous. I LOVE surprises, so it just makes me disappointed sometimes. lol FWP? :-/

eireyes · October 2014

Love tit in commiseration @ambarnett1. I'm the same way - you think I'd learn but nope! My DH is clueless as well, but every once in a blue moon he does something, and then I think he's realizing how I tick, but then he goes back to same old same old. I think he's like the blind squirrel: everyone once in a while he finds a nut!

edoliesmom · October 2014

@embear22 Oh, I didn't even realize you read it that way, so no worries. lol It's me who's the history-illiterate one.

And I don't think my MIL would give her a popsicle now, thankfully! But my husband's nephew who's over a year now gets them all the time when he's over there, and for some reason she asked if I would give my daughter sugar-free ones [when she's older], and I said probably. I don't think I have to worry about we giving her anything unhealthy at this age, thank goodness!

I spent the last 10 mins making a shark mouth with my hand and singing "Duuuuh dut. Duuuh dut" like Jaws. I get closer to A's face with each bite them go "DooDaLoooo!!!" when my hand bites his face off. He thinks it is the most hilarious game we've ever played.

DH does this when M is in the doorway jumper. He gets down on the floor across the room and "swims" closer with every sound until he noms M's feet!

I held off on putting the diaper laundry in until 30 minutes ago, because I wanted to get today's poopy diaper. At 4pm with nothing I figured he was skipping today. Newp, just waited until I started the laundry. Figures.

This is the county directly south of the county I live in.

"Kenosha County Jail is isolating an immigration detainee from Liberia as precaution following the death due to the Ebola virus in Texas on Wednesday.

The detainee, showed no signs of the illness and appears to be in "perfect health," according to Sheriff David Beth. The woman was taken into custody at O'Hare International Airport early Wednesday.

Texas health officials announced that the first person diagnosed with the Ebola virus who died was a man from Liberia."

I wish everywhere receiving flights from west Africa would be smart enough to do this as a precaution. Sure, it's annoying and a pain in the ass to those being detained, but y'know what? A friggin' epidemic is even more of an annoying pain in the ass!

Also, if this detainee somehow turns out to have Ebola (unlikely)... A-game is gonna get her own little Hazmat suit. XD That's a little too close to home for my mental health.

@SoulTermination‌, it's crazy to think about it isn't it? Scary stuff!

Oh man, yes. First I'd even really thought of Liberia since high school world geography was when this whole Ebola-in-the-US mess started, and the next time I hear about anything Liberia is OMG there's someone from Liberia being detained like an hour from my home who could potentially have Ebola. Then my brain, which tends to be stupid and irrational, simultaneously goes "Meh, sounds like there's hardly a chance she has it." and "HOLY SHIT FREAK OUT PROTECT BELOVED OFFSPRING IN A BUBBLE!!" XD

Hi RTT! :-h

Trying to squeeze 40 hrs worth of work into 4 days instead of 5 is no fun. I feel like I haven't seen my kid all week! Plus DH and I are trying to be on social media less.

Hope you all are doing well!

ladygali · October 2014

LO had his 6 month shots today and check up. He apparently has advanced motor skills for his age, which I take to mean that he'll just walk early. Great. Yippee.

Must. Baby proof.
