Calling All Moms.. Your Help is Needed!!!

I am writing this blog today so I can get some feedback on the different kinds of sippy cups your child(ren) uses!! Jake is almost 1 is REFUSING to use a sippy cup.. I mean he's just using the friggen thing throw/chuck/ bite.. everything except to drink out it! I've tried every brand, avent, playtex, gerber and nothing is WORKING!!! I know he can do it but when that cup get placed in front of him, he cries and yells until WE feed it to him!! Please if anyone has gone through what we are going through, let me know HOW we can help our child use his sippy cup!!

Gearin' up to the BIG -1st Bday!!!

Only 2 more weeks to Jake's 1st bday fiesta! The invites have been mailed, the food ordered, the cake picked out and entertainment booked!! John and I are just AMAZED by how fast his first year has gone by.. feel like I just blinked and BOOM he's going to be turning 1! To top it off, Jake's Gramps (who lives in Missouri) will be making a trip out to celebrate! Let's pray its not raining that day for the moonbounce I ordered will be a total waste of money!!! and I will be out of my mind crazy w/ about 20 kids running around my house!!!

Where's George?

Oh my goodness, I thought that my child was going to have a nervous breakdown this morning! His all time, favorite, can't sleep w/out blankey George was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!! You are now wondering who in the right mind would name a blanket "George".. well.. from the minute he was introduced to this blanket he just LOVED it!! we didn't have a name for a long time.. just blankey.. then one day I come home and John is asking where "George" is!!!! He kept saying, "Jake, let's find go find George so you can take a nap.." At this point, I am looking at my husband as if he has completely lost his marbles!!! I say, "who are you talking about babe... who's George and why are we looking for man who will help our infant child take a nap.." Then he shows me blankey and turn it over and the maker of the blanket is George.. so thus the name!! Anywho, this am our child REALLY needed a nap!!! woke up at 5:30 am and was Mr. Cranky Pants all morning!!! so finally its time for the bottle and George and Nap.... got the bottle and George is no where to be found.. I looked everywhere.. his bed, our bed, under the bed, in our family room.. finally after bitterly crying for 25 minutes while I searche and navigate my entire house for George, he falls asleep.... to wake up 45 minutes later!!! Needless to say I finally found George... it was stuck in his pack and play underneath all his toys!! don't know how that happened.. Take a look at how happy he was to finally reunite w/ George!!
