It's Not Delivery, It's BOB Revolution

This, my free babysitters, is BOB Revolution.

It is the best stroller in all the land. I can't believe how much easier it is to push than my regular stroller. In fact, it doesn't roll it glides. It's a jogging stroller and although I haven't truly jogged with it yet I did get extra hungry on the way back from Papa Johns and picked up my pace a time or two. I'v never used another jogging stroller but I can't imagine one being better than this. It's like it just floats- it's so light!!! On another note, I got it out of the trunk of my sports car one handed while holding Beck and unfolded it to the standing position. It's virtually impossible to get my travel system stroller unfolded let alone unfolded with one hand! It even has better handling skills than my travel system stroller- this baby can turn the tighest of corners, corners I would never dream of attempting otherwise...

It is more expensive than a standard stroller or a standard jogging stroller. HOWEVER, if you are planning on buying a stroller and a jogging stroller, why not just buy one BOB? The prices end up being pretty comparable, you can buy an attachment where your infant car seat will fit into BOB just as securely as a travel system and think of all the space you save by only having 1 stroller!

So if you are expecting, know someone who is (and really, really like them) or just in the market for a new ride. I can not recommend BOB more. You will not be disappointed!!

10 Months

Beck is 10 months old today.

He is officially walking. He usually takes about 3 or 4 steps and then falls, gets back up again, 3 or 4 more steps and so on. But he's taken up to 9 at a time. He gets much better every day.

I think he's said his first word.... in fact, I proclaimed it on Facebook so I can't go back now. You tell me. When at my parent's house he would look at their dogs and say "doh, doh." He never says that, he always says "dadadadada" but never "doh." Anyway I thought that was interesting but I also thought it may just be a coincidence. THEN, one day, we pulled into our driveway and there was a dog behind the car. Beck got so excited, he was kicking his legs and screaming "DOH, DOH!" So that means, first word is dog right? Well that's what I thought, but he hasn't said it since and he's seen dogs many times. I don't know what to think so I'm just gonna say he said his first word. After all, it is Facebook official.

He looooves playing with toilet paper and the toilet. I've never seen a child crawl so fast as when the bathroom door gets left open. We lost a paci to the porcelain throne a couple days ago.

He still loves the bath tub and also the pool. I don't know if I've shared this secret on here before but I've always feared he would poop in the tub. Well, it finally happened. I just drained the tub and sent it full of peas and carrots down the drain. I hope that's ok. "Well actually, Mr Plumber, my drain is clogged because I rinsed a big dump down it." I'm not really sure what else you're supposed to do about a tub dump. I was definitely not gonna strain it out. EW.

He has 2.5 teeth! His bottom 2 are fully in and he has a top one that's just broken the skin. So we'll be at 3 shortly. Teething has not really been an issue for us, which has been awesome.

ABOUT THE EARS. We went to an ENT Friday and we've decided since Beck is getting pulled from daycare in 2 weeks we're gonna wait it out and see if getting out of daycare will stop the ear infections. I hope so!!! As much as I don't want Beck to have surgery I also don't want to pay a $500 deductible because well, I just bought a BOB and now I'm broke... More about BOB later.

Funny Stuff

Perpetually Ill

Ahh breast feeding... How you have reeked havoc on my life. How many times must I be pumped and pulled in a way no body should be pumped and pulled. I have come to dread the times 11:00 and 2:00 just knowing I'll be alone in the bathroom, half naked, staring through the crack in the door for at least the next 20 minutes. I hate everything about you. I hate the fact I still can not wear what I'd like to. I hate the fact I still can not drink a tall boy PBR whenever I want to. I hate the fact that secretly I want to breast feed for 12 months just so I can say I did it. I hate the fact that because of you I'm back to my high school weight (ok, don't hate that... love that...)

Why put myself through all this torture?

All for this 20 lb 6 oz, 2 toothed, 97th percentile head circumference love bug. Because breast feeding builds immunity and immunity filled babies don't get sick.

Beginning in February, Beck had his first ear infection in his right ear. That lasted for about 2 months, no antibiotic could wipe it out. No antibiotic except for the nastiest diarrhea inducing medicine on the planet. The maker behind the KinderCare kick out double dump. Augmentin, you have a special place in Hell right next to the man who decided to get rid of the Nerds Blizzard at DQ. Anyway, we found out it had finally cleared up when we took Beck in for his follow up visit. Right ear, perfect, left ear, infected. At that point, I was kinda upset but at least an antibiotic had cleared up the right ear infection and now we just had to get rid of the left one, hopefully faster than the right. This past Friday was Beck's 2 week follow up on his left ear infection and both ears got a clean bill of health!! Finally!!!! Woohoo!

Today... 3 days later... Beck has a double ear infection.

Screw you breast feeding.
