I came across this most excellent chart illustrating what to do and what not to do with children. I'll refer to this chart extensively when the next kid arrives.
Gee whiz --I could have really used that poster hanging up on the nursery wall when my kids were babies ... it would have saved us a lot of unfortuneate events. Just a little FYI: Grandma Browne actually did use a dresser drawer for your Mom! P.S. Love the posts of your beautiful children. So proud of you both. P.S.S.

And no, I'm not talking about the band New Edition... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umEbhFKV6mc Milla (pronounced Meeluh) was born 4/24 @10:24 am. 6lbs 12oz, 19 inches long.
It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat.

Ya know how families tend to have a theme when its time to take the annual family picture? Don't know what I'm talking about? Picture Mom, Dad, and all eight kids dressed in faux cowboy shirts with those mother of pearl buttons, blue jeans, and cowboy boots and to top it off, they are all sporting home-made denim vests and cowboy hats.
