    But when baby WON’T sleep…

    Aug 16, 2010

    HE “helps”.  A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
    PS.  You guys crack me up.  And NO I don’t exercise every day….some days I get my tennis shoes on and watch leotard ladies exercise while I eat Lucky Charms.

      I swear Bumbos are the best invention for any busy mom. I cursed the day my oldest actually got too chubby to fit in hers.

      That sounds like my kind of exercise. I wish they had come out with bumbos when my kids were younger!

      My little girl loves her Bumbo, too! My husband likes to put a book on the tray, so it looks like she is reading when she is sitting in it. Very cute!

      What a great photo, but it does make me sad that my youngest that actually had a bumbo is now 4!

      So cute! He looks like he's about to give you his opinion on your color choices. :)

      I unfortunately had a refluxy baby who hated her bumbo. She arched her back until she could pop out of it, or she'd scream. :(

      I'm a Grandma and I KNOW how important Bumbos are to you and to the baby. He couldn't look happier. I think it is wonderful that you are home with your boys. I was a stay-at-home mom before the term was invented and I will never regret it. Keep on sewing too.

      Oh wow!!!! That is such a great idea! Dangit I don't think my sewing table is wide enough for me to do that and feel comfortable about it... Ah guess this means I need a new sewing table! Thanks for the idea and ya'll are so cute! My little man sits on my lap and helps me sew sometimes it is hard though cause I have to sit back far enough that little fingers can't reach anything in case I am not quick enough.

      I love this picture. He looks very interested in what's going on. That probably lasted all of 15 minutes, right? But hey, 15 minutes is 15 minutes. Love the quilt you're working on by the way.

      I remember trying to sew when my twins were first born I had 1 on one side of the machine and 1 on the other. Too bad they slept, ate, and otherwise at opposite times! Didn't get much done...

      I am glad to be too old to have a baby sitting on my sewing table, but if I had thought of it 45 years ago I beet I would have done it, too. This photo is the cutest thing and I grinning from ear to ear.

      I cant even tell you how much I love that picture! Just about the cutest thing ever! Mine are too big to hold captive in the bumbo anymore, unfortunately, so I am forced to use other forms of amusement like cookies, dora, and hide and seek.
      Keep it up!
