The pictures you DIDN"T see.

So, I wanted to talk you about number 3. I've been looking at pictures of him lately thinking "He's so cute!" You see, I have a little confession. Sometimes I wasn't so sure how this kid was going to turn out (see images below) He was such a "chubby" boy that he pretty much could not move until he was 8 months old. In fact, at his 3 month appointment my Dr. told me that "he had an increased risk of obesity in adulthood"

....What? The kid is 3 months old. He is on a strict diet of his mother's milk, and that's it. Should I be watering it down? The Dr. pretty much just shrugged his shoulders and said he just wanted to pass the info along, that's all. But now, looking at these pictures of him at three months I can see how one might look at him and think obesity. Poor guy.



People often ask if the baby in the Puj Tub images is my son and I smile politely and say it's the son of a friend. My babies aren't exactly "poster child" material (just ask my Dr.) But Oh, how I love to kiss those cheeks (or is it his chin? I can't tell!)Thankfully it's all worked out and he is such a charmer these days (see video below). And as far as him not moving until he was 8 months old? Well, he makes up for it now. You can almost guarantee Sterling will be sitting on top of the counter, kitchen table, Piano, etc. He's like a cat, always has to be sitting on something.






In other news, I have made a change to my hair routine....gasp! I recently made a purchase during my 6:30 am pajama pilates session. Yes, that's right folks, I bought something off of an infomercial....gasp! (No Richard, it was not "Learn to Play the Piano like a Pro...in 3 Days!" Or a diamond saphire ring, Nancy ) I was quite embarrassed to be making the call, kept looking over my shoulder just to make sure neither Ben or the kids was watching me dial-up Guthy Reinker. It is a cleansing conditioner that eliminates the shampoo process.

I LOVE IT!!!!
Can you tell how soft and supple my hair is? I honestly can tell a major difference.

And yes Travis, my curly hair is natural. Especially now that I put "sweet almond mint" on it.

I have always been so skeptical of infomercials, they just always seem to be an impulse buy. But I've changed my mind! And as soon as my Ab Flyer Pro gets here I will have the hardest abs on the block!!! Just kidding Ben :) And I can defiantly see a need for this on days that I didn't get enough sleep.



One more thing, Puj is doing a HUGE giveaway to people with Babies and who write to a blog regularly. Find-out more info here

Katie, I emailed your link to my old roommate, Kristin Rees Gunnerson. She and another roommate have a stationary company and started a design blog a couple of months ago that is doing quite well. Hopefully, she'll submit an entry. I think the bathtub is ingenious.

Kate, love the pics and video of Sterling, I always thought he was cute and he charmed me from the minute I met him. Now I'm very curious what sold you to buy something on an info mercial, besides the fact that you're related to Opee like the rest of us!

Sterling is adorable. Is that dirt or oreos on his face? And what exactly do you mean by eliminating the shampoo process? You and Nancy should have listened to your mother years ago.
