cool gifts

My friend Vanessa made some really cool baby gifts. Some blocks and some hats for Xander, some toys for the kitties, and some book covers and eye pillows for mom. I love home made gifts. We have 3 quilts and some home made burp rags that we were given too, these are my favorite baby gifts because of their uniqueness and the fact that some one spent the time to make them for Xander.  Thanks!!!

horrible blogger

I'm a horrible blogger. I love to read other peoples blogs. I feel inspired to cook, decorate, love bigger and better, become more green, craft, no-poo, make my own cosmetics and of course to write my own blog, yet I never seem to do any of these things.  I mostly fly under the excuse of working full time and being a mommy, but really honestly I think I could do more of these things if I managed my time better...but darn it facebook and the TV are such time sucks.
So lets see what's going on...Xander my wonderful boy is 5 1/2 months old now.  He's growing like a weed. He's had his first ear infection, an eye infection, and I think he may now have a cold.  He can roll belly to back but is reluctant to go the other way. We are trying to start solid foods but he really isn't that interested.  Out of the foods we've tried Avocado would be his "favorite".  He likes his exersaucer, swinging instead of bouncing in his Johnny jump up, he's drooling like a st. bernard, and likes to put his mouth on your cheek and hum.
I'm still working full time and not really enjoying it. My job is very slow and boring most days, it drags on the time I'm away from home and I feel its dulling my ability to work when I have it to do.  Things may be changing in the next few months I sure hope that I won't have to do this grind for long.
My parents visited last weekend, it was nice to see them interact with Xander. Next month we'll be headed to San Diego for Thanksgiving and a week long visit.
