i'd like to thank our sposors: breastfeeding, no dairy, no milk.

yes yes, thanks to our lovely sponsors...thanks to their support, as of yesterday i am back to pre-pregnancy weight! although, i do not have my pre-pregnancy body, as some things are smaller than they used to be and some things are larger. regardless, the plan is to ride this train and see how far it goes.

meanwhile, charis is crazy about picking up her head now, regardless of how she is situated. see for yourself:



yesterday she started trying to sit up while laying on her back. she is very determined, but never gets more than a few inches off the ground, despite her grunts and groans. derek blames her puffy diapers.

we got this amazing thing yesterday, called a peapod. it's by kidco. look it up. it is officially our answer to the playard question...that being the question of, do we really want to travel with a bulky, heavy playard? the answer being, no, we do not. we choose to travel with this! (this being the peapod). super cute, super fun, super easy to set up and take down, super light compared to a playard and super small for putting in an already overcrowded cargo area. we highly recommend.
