@jimbobcooter my vision changed while I was pregnant and I couldn't wear contacts for a while either, but thankfully they went back. I did have to switch brands though.
I'm beginning to think P will never have more than two teeth. I can't believe how many some of your LOs have.
At least he's got two! L will clearly never have any teeth at all.
I miss contacts, too. I had labyrinthitis in 2013 and was ill for the best part of a year. I haven't been able to tolerate contacts for more than a few hours since then.
Today has been very changeable weather - bright sunshine alternating with huge hailstones. But we managed a nice walk with my parents after having them here for lunch. I made sausage pasta bake and L couldn't eat it fast enough :-)
H has a rehearsal tomorrow afternoon, and my mum just made my weekend by offering to come and play with L for part of it. So I will get a bit of a break after all. That was the main thing that was missing this weekend!
It's beautiful out today so naturally my child refused to nap. We have friends over and O had serious fomo. I finally got him down and someone accidently slammed a door. Now I'm in nap jail. Hopefully we'll go to the playground later.

Nice day here, too (not on the east coast) Just doing some errands today and a friend is coming over later for baby visits and dinner, should be a good day.
I can't handle how many J15 babies are walking already! Grandma babysat last night for our first real date night. We spent way too much money and I ate way too much, but it was fabulous! This morning we worked on some budget stuff and chatted with the neighbors now that the weather is nice again. They're an older couple so they were excited to see how much Z has grown. Now we're headed to a family picnic with the mom's group so all of the SOs can meet. I also picked up some cute, comfy skirts at Target. After the picnic we're going to check out a kids consignment store and browse a few neighborhoods to get an idea of where we'd eventually like to buy our next house.

A lovely morning here too!
H took LO to Record Store Day this morning with another dad friend. So cute!
Now DH is at brew day and LO is with his auntie today on a picnic park adventure. I have the whole host to myself for cleaning and organizing! I am a little jealous I'm not at the park too but our house is pretty disastrous!
Maybe I will clean fast then start planning LO's birthday! Or maybe I'll lounge and TCF for a bit.

Today makes 5 days of extra poopy diapers, so that's fun. My mom and I went to sams club since we are low on formula, then I picked up chick fil a for H and I for lunch. H is now napping since he was up at 5 something with J, and I have to work from 4 to 9 or so tonight. At least it's overtime pay? It's currently 80 and sunny here, and I'm mad at myself for not remembering to grab a helmet for j and assemble the bike trailer.
Anyone have a good salmon recipe? My mom sent us some filets and I want to cook them this weekend.
Salmon doesn't need amything fancy. Pan fry it in a little bit of butter and serve with new potatoes and something green. Put a wedge of lemon on your plate to sqeeze over the fish. Heaven on a plate.
I really should get over this since I frequent a message board where most posters are American, but I always giggle when people say pants instead of trousers. Pants are underwear!
We were in the city this morning running errands and grocery shopping. H and DS surprised me with a nice outdoor deck box (storage unit) to store toys in while I was shopping somewhere else with DD. I am so excited about it! Lol it's such a silly thing to be excited about, but its just something I've been actively looking at getting and waiting to find a good time to fit it in the budget!
And AW #2, I bought DD a dress for her birthday today! For anyone with a good memory-yes I did share another one before but I was feeling meh and buyers remorse about it. We were shopping a couple weeks ago and when I was in the baby section with the kids DS super randomly grabbed this dress and said 'OOH mom look at the nice dress for LouGita!" (Lol! I Swear I hardly ever buy them new clothes either with all our hand me downs). Anyway I couldn't stop thinking about how cute that was, and how cute the dress was. So I went back and got it today, DS TOTALLY remembered it and handed it to her going 'look at the nice dress I got you Lou!' Gah! My heart. Sentimental me thinks it's perfect and I love that we'll have that to look back on when I see her first birthday pictures.
ETA- oops forgot to upload picture. We're having internet issues and it's messing me and picture uploading up.
ETA 2 eff it. Here's the link for anyone who's still following me here lol. Someone is supposed to come fix our internet next week.
Thanks purple simple with butter sounds good. I don't like a lot of crazy flavors. Hopefully I won't over cook it, I'm notorious for that.
And they look look like long shorts to me @jimbobcooter.
Three minutes on each side should be plenty. It doesn't matter if they aren't hot all the way through - better that than overcooked! If you're not giving any to LO you could also sprinkle a bit of red pepper as they cook.
Ok, then I'm not crazy. Thank you ladies. I think he looks hip too and that they are obviously very long shorts. But since I posted this picture on FB the other day like 15 relatives (granted older relatives) all commented on how fast he has outgrown his pants... er, uh sorry purple... his trousers. All in serious context. I've been all, ummmmmmmmm....really?!
@imapenguin, don't cry. Seriously yes, this is normal April weather. We are very dry in January, February, and early March. Then it gets wetter and the snow happens because it's still cool. But it comes and goes in a day. I promise. We rarely rarely rarely just get cold and snowy and stay that way for any length of time.
michyme123 I did that all the time at target when LO was still in the infant carrier! I once walked out with an entire roasting chicken! I felt so embarrassed going back in!
We have LO a gerber graduates ravioli meal and she devoured it. I want to look for mini ravioli to make her now!

Slowing down on my cleaning but I've been very productive.
Just sent this to my H. No response yet but I'm not sure it will be favorable to my dreams! Update: he said "ummmm, can't you save some for his 2nd birthday?"
We gave LO a bath and found a round rash on her chest, ugh. The pediatric urgent care isn't sure if it's ringworm or a contact rash from a button (it lines up well with a snap/button outline). If it's ringworm, it's likely from my sister's menagerie of cats and ugh, there goes my free babysitting.
A little girl puked in the waiting room while we were there and it took forever to clean it. I almost puked, too.

So... I just googled pictures of ringworm (because I've never seen it) and I actually think O may have it. He has two circular red spots on his back that I noticed yesterday. But they're similar to the hives he got briefly when we were introducing foods, so I just thought it was a food reaction from something. It really looks like those pictures though
