The circle of life-

So after this semester I think I might keep going with this blog. I really feel like I got some really great advice on things and I have gotten feedback that this site is fun to read and a good way for mom's to keep in contact with each other. Being a mom is pretty hard, as I've realized, and I will take all the advice I can get when it comes to ensuring I take the best care of the Bahboo that I can. Thanks so much for everyone who has participated and helped me along the way.

Feed Me Seymore, I'm hungry!

So whilst I was away this weekend and a Wilderness Adventure Race, my son stayed with my family. Upon my return they informed me that I should no longer feed him baby food because he eats "people" food now. I'm cool with feeding him grown up food (hot dogs, hardboiled eggs, mashed up bananas, etc.) and what not but I'm reluctant to quit with the baby foods because I can guarantee he's getting all his nutrients when he eats those. It's just so hard to be sure about "grown up foods". Does anyone think I'm wrong? I feed him foods that require teeth, I'm just reluctant to make that his only diet since they aren't as nutrient rich as baby food. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

The Girlfriend's Guide...

Hello Mom's and Mommy's to be...

I read The Girlfriend's Guide To Pregnancy again last night just to remind me of the "good ol' prego" days and also to refresh my memory on why I'm not quite ready to retain water again. :0) Never the less, I want to spread the wealth if you're not already rich with Vicki Iovine Girlfriend splendor. Her "Girlfriends Series" has been a wonderful hand-holder through pregnancy, the First Year and I just found out that there is a Toddler volume that I will MOST DEFINITELY be checking out.
If any of you have found yourselves in a particularly unpleasant point during any of this "mommy-stuff" I highly encourage you to pick up a copy, crack it open and laugh yourself to tears. It was a wonderful stress reliever and I think we can all agree that it pretty much doesn't matter at which point of motherhood you're in, it's all stressful in it's own wonderful way. What better way to relax than by laughing it out?

Happy Readings Moms!

Baby Mine Store

Hello Bahbooland!

I found this great website and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you mom's, especially those with Toddlers. As most of you have already figured out, Toddlers seem to be a big ball of energy and excitement and it's hard to keep up with them sometimes. So I did some searching and I found this WONDERFUL site called Baby Mine Store. It is fantastic! They not only link you to toys and movies and gadgets, they also have wonderful links on nutrition and even how to monitor physical and mental growth.
I didn't buy "What to Expect...- The Toddler Years" so I've been playing it by ear. My most favorite article right now is: 13th to 16th Month Guide. I found it really insightful as it gave me good details on the many aspects of the baby's development.
