Ariana,

I am going through the same thing with my boy. Everytime I leave him inside his portable crib he just starts crying. What I do is to reasure him that everything is okay and that mommy (in this case me with my heart just hurting to see him crying for me) will be right back or will pick him up as soon as I finish something. Unfortunatly, he does not understand why mommy can’t just pick him up from his crib already and just keeps crying until I do so. Rarely he does understand and wait for 10 minutes the most. If I don’t finish what I am doing, then I am in big trouble!! :-)

Oh my gosh, Jasper is just too cute! I love his enthusiasm. Hadley has started banging her toys together, too, mainly when she is sitting at the table eating. She bangs whatever toy she is playing with as hard as she can on the table. It results in a rather loud, obnoxious noise, but she loves it. Hadley has just started developing separation anxiety, too. I’m home with her, but if I walk away for even a second, she starts whining. I’m not really sure what to do since I’m right here with her all day anyway. I’ll let you know if I figure out a cure:-).

Samm, at lease I know I’m in good company! Jasper LOVES magazines (and paper of any kind) too.

Oh, Kari it’s ridiculous! His favorite things are the pot and spoon, a placemat from Ikea, the box that his stacking toys came with and a beer bottle. Yep, I have to give him his own so that he doesn’t freak out when I drink mine and don’t want to share (it gets warm pretty quickly when baby is drooling into it ;)

Kimberly, you need a flip.. its the easiest thing EVER! You plug it into your computer basically. I love mine.

The PJs I got from Kohls.. I’ll look up the brand in a minute when I get them out of the washer :) …Ok, they are the “Jumping Beans” brand!

It’s more about getting the clips off the camera, onto the computer. Then uploading and posting are easy… I’ve just never spent the time to figure out my Handicam. When I used to take short clips on my Powershot, easy-peasy.

Where are those darling pajamas from that he’s wearing? LOVE.

don’t you love how we spend all this money on “educational toys” to promote development etc. etc. and they love plan and simple things like this! i am going to pull this one out for Liam tonight!
re: separation anxiety – Liam JUST started showing signs of it this week! He didn’t want to go to grandpa or uncle todd for the first time, and was crying for mama. and the past couple of nights he just isn’t happy unless he is touching me somehow. So far, no crying when dropping of at daycare, I’ll keep you posted.

Mia started doing the same thing! I can’t walk aways from her cage (playpen) without her starting to whine and scream. I try to give her something new and really cool while i sneak away to the bathroom. A magazine that she can shred works great!

Kimberly, the video thing is so easy.. they basically just give you the code. Email me if you need help :)

Shane, how old is G now? Jasper is only just starting to pull himself up, and so far only on me! I’m surprised honestly, because he’s been bearing all his weight on his legs and “standing” since before 3 months!

Anyone have any requests for photoshop friday?
