Grumpy baby, grumpy mummy, grumpy day.

Harlow is cute Harlow is so so cute..... I chant this all day every day.


See, she sleeps very little, and can be grumpy all day.  But she is so darn cute, that you can't help but smile at her....
Today has been challenging, so hot, and Harlow is  annoyed with everything, eating, nursing trying to crawl, her toys, her siblings.
To keep my strength up, I have had to eat additional calories in the form of chips more chips and chips.
My little girl, does keep me entertained day and night, I never have a dull moment with her.

Bath time is my favorite, she laughs, squeals and splashes....

I am still waiting for her to crawl, I promised my friends she'd be crawling in the next few days, that was 2 weeks ago... Come on Harlow, get crawling!...........................................

Cloth Diapering

Cloth Diapering to many seems like an absolute pain in the bum, me though................, I am addicted.

Freezer full of breastmilk

In the beginning of breastfeeding, I decided I would express all excess milk and store it in the freezer. Now, I have a freezer full of milk and a baby that won't take a bottle.
I called the milk bank in BC where they process breast milk for premature babies, but they won't accept any donations  from any British person as we 'may' have been exposed to Mad Cow Disease.
Now..... I may be a bit crazy, but I'm no mad cow. The craziness of it!!
Ah well, so all this milk and what to do with it???   I can see it now, 75 years old, and still a freezer full of breast milk that I refuse to throw away.... The old crazy breast milk lady will be my new name.

My thought of the day!

Too many cookie = too much sugar rush which then = too much weight gain which then = :( (non smiley face)

Fatty Thursday

Today has been a bad day with regards to food.  I have eaten enough cookies to last the entire year.   I wish I was good with food, but unfortunately, not :(
Chant I made up: Cookies are good, cookies are great, come on mate, lets eat, eat, some cookies today!

............Any how, Just watching Harlow slither across the floor, seems like hard work to learn new stuff, I admire these little babies.... Just hope she gives me a good sleep again tonight, that`d be nice!

Yum Yum Yummy Salsa

So I made my own spicy salsa tonight, it was very yummy! Onions peppers tomatoes lime juice and jalapenos. This was so much more delicious than my breast milk teething cookies I made... I tasted a tiny bit of one, ick!!
I hope this is the start of me making new and interesting things to eat....

Bad nights sleep = lots of coffee

So after having the worst night sleep ever.... I am on my 2nd cup of coffee. I am sure by the time lunch rolls around I will be on my 4th. See, coffee, helps me to function, should be available on prescription, coffee IS that GOOD! Harlow is the reason these days I don't get much sleep. She likes to wake up many time in the night, just to make sure I am still here, and so she can have a quick snack...  Kids eh? Who'd have 'em??? Oh yeah, me....I have 4 of 'em!! :)
