wackywednesday

we had a bright and early start at the weber's! amelie woke up a little before 7 for the first time in recent memory (it's been months!). i miss my 9 a.m. wake up call but she's being precious so i'll suffer through it, ha! i love that kid. here's her "i'm up too early" face--i'd include a picture of mine but that would be cruel!

i <3 target--i ordered a bunch of baby stuff on saturday and it's already heading to my door today! i also got free shipping and 10% off! yay target! here's a picture of m.v.w.'s new car seat--i decided to go with the safeseat by graco b/c it can accommodate a baby up to 30 lbs rear facing (and since amelie isn't even 30 pounds yet hopefully it will last her sister just as long as it would have lasted her!)--it doesn't match my stroller perfectly but you only use a car seat attached to a stroller for like 6 months anyways so i'll get over it =-)

this is the car seat i wanted--it's way prettier and matches my stroller but it's the traditional infant seat that only lasts until 20 pounds...so, i decided to be practical (for once!)


i was surfing the web yesterday and found a quiz and thought i'd try it--if you want to take it, here's the address (sorry, i'm not tech savvy enough to hide a link):

Quiz: Should You Parent a Boy or Girl?

Your Results

There's Nothing Like a Dame We know there are differences between the sexes, but are they apparent during the baby years? You betcha! While many of these perceived differences are just stereotypes, experienced moms will tell you that some gender-related contrasts definitely exist. Moms generally agree that baby girls are a bit more relaxed during those early years. While mothers of sons are constantly chasing their boys all over the playground, daughters tend to be just a bit less physical. If verbal communication plays an important role in your life, then you'd definitely do well with a girl. They usually talk earlier than boys do, and some moms say their daughters were practically speaking in full sentences right about the time their sons were just beginning to talk. And if manners are important to you, then a girl will not disappoint in this regard, either. A recent study has proven that girls are more polite, while boys are more honest. (Nature vs. Nurture?) So, if you don't really want to hear how awful your latest grilled cheese sandwich came out, try not to have a baby boy! Oh -- and on a superficial level, it's much easier to dress a baby girl. One need only to visit a local baby store to notice that the selection of girl's clothing to boy's clothing runs at a ratio of approximately 5:1. (And boy, is that frilly underwear cute!)

yay for girls! although yay for boys too! i'm just excited about baby weber even no matter a she or a he!
