She Thought it was Lotion

Poor little Olive.

I'm sure she had fun in the beginning, but

later realized it was not a good thing.

This is how Kidney Bean found her after naptime the other day:

And while she thought it was lotion, it was actually

more than half a tube of Desitin.

She apparently emptied one drawer of her dresser, turned

it upside-down, used it as a stool, and grabbed the tube from

the window.  She put the box back eventually, as you can see.

It ended up up and down her arms, on her clothes, on the wall,

the bed, the carpet....oh man, what a mess.

It also happened during the week that Kidney Bean was working

nights.  He was about to leave, but was hoping that I

needed help getting things back in order, so he could call in and be a bit late.

But I didn't think it would be too bad, so we sent him

on his way.  And Olive went straight to

the tub.

 

I should've been a little more diligent in making sure the Desitin

stayed out of her hair when we took off her dress.

It took a few phone conversations with my mom, who had the internet

handy, 3 washes with kids' shampoo, and one with adult shampoo.

By the end of the tub, she was cold, and her hair was not longer streaked with white.

But it was greasy for a few more days until we were really able

to wash it all out.

Little rascal.

False Alarm

So far, so good.

We are a binky free household.

And it's awesome.

It was just one night that poor little Olive cried for a binky.

Since she woke up the next morning, she hasn't even asked

for it.  At least that I've heard.

And since Sour Cream has never used a binky,

except as a distraction once or twice...he just laughed at it...

we have no binkies to worry about losing or forgetting.

I love it.

Oops

Poor little Olive.

She's been given the opportunity to quit using a binky.

She's devastated.

At least she was when she was put to bed tonight.

 

Hopefully she gets over it quickly, and

that she doesn't start using her fingers when she's upset

(which she did today).

Time For a Post

It's time to update stuff on here, but I'm not going to go into much detail.

But at least you get a new picture of this cutie!

Since this picture was taken in December, he has grown two more teeth on the bottom.

The day after Christmas, we painted our first living room.

My mom says you can't tell from the pictures, but it is a light green color.

We love it.

And we knew we would, since we used the same color paint that my parents

have in their living room.

It was a sure way not to waste the $100 supplies!

It's Official - He's Mobile

He's still not crawling, but he's got a  pretty good forward motion

with his belly flop, especially on the kitchen floor.

Close, but No Cigar

Poor little Sour Cream.

He tries so much to move forwards, but just hasn't quite

figured out how to crawl.  He can, however,

scoot.

Backwards.

Darn it.

This poor guy has found himself in this very spot

several times in the past 3 weeks.

And what did Mommy do?

Grab the camera.

Arsenic in Rice

My mom told me that she saw a snippet on the news

that said there has been an increased amount of arsenic in

rice, including baby cereal, and that

it is recommended that we should cut down

our consumption of rice, and vary our diets a little more.

It was also said that if you have an infant eating

rice cereal, that you shouldn't give it to them more than once a week.

Our is now in the trash, and
Sour Cream has been enjoying the switch to oatmeal.
