You did what with that suit?


As a mother I often miss out on a full treat, 3 boys with their mouths wide open saying ah ah ah I seem to get one bite out of 6 or 7. I also miss out on a full nights rest, private time in the bathroom, private time anytime really. The list goes on and on with things that I as a mother do for my children. At the very top of the list right now is make a memory! I am over weight and plan on loosing weight I just don't loose weight really well when I am nursing and since Charlee is my last baby I have tried to keep nursing her for as long as I could. Now that she is on Cereal I am using a bottle more often because I just don't seem to get her full. She now has two bottles a day instead of only 1, but she is also eating Cereal. I need to go and get some baby food and start her on some other things I guess. I am out of practice and I don't remember when to start other foods. ANYONE REMEMBER???Well my point was that I am not a skinny size 8 or even 10 so when Rachel called me to tell me that she really wanted to take her kids swimming but didn't want to get into a swimming suit. I told her we should go, my kids have been telling me that they wanted to show me how they could go down the slide by themselves and that Jacob didn't even need a life Jacket anymore. Besides I would make her 6 month along pregnant body look good. We fumbled around with trying on some suits and I went over and picked her up. When I picked up Rachel and the girls we both said, I hope our kids appreciate how much we love them. Getting into our swimming suits with our husbands swimming shorts is a true sign of love. What would you do for a memory?

It was a good time, Charlee loved it and I was able to go out and get her ready before she got upset. In fact she didn't cry the whole time and fell asleep at the burger/fry place we went to eat at afterwards. These pictures were taken after we had been swimming and this one was when I was getting her ready to go home!

I thought you were going to say you forgot the swimming suit. We did that one a few months ago. We got to Kamas and realized we didn't grab Clint's suit. Oops! We bought one of those plastic diaper things and called it good. Cute pic. of Charlee!

You can feed her other foods when she can sit up (mostly) by herself and when she is done with the tongue thrusting of pushing it ALL back out of her mouth.

If you are giving her cereal, I am sure she would be ok with other baby foods.

I was so ready to see some pictures of this suit you were building up in the dialog. I thought that the photo of Charlee was cute, but where are the other photos?

NO photos were taken of the two ladies in their husbands swimming suits. I did however almost take some pictures of some really cute ladies with there cute cute babies. I was there to make them feel good about themselves. I am glad I could be of service to those other women. Sorry Larry maybe we will go again...

My docter told me at Jason's 4 month check up that I could start giving him fruits and vegitables around 6 months, and that we'd talk about finger foods at his 6 month check up. So if you start her on the vegi's or fruits now I bet you'd be just fine. And probably finger foods as soon as she'd like them. (Jason is NOT interested in finger foods yet.)

We ARE amazing mothers that love their children very much to do what we did. I am glad that no pics were taken of us, not glad, grateful.
