The car is officially sold. I have very mixed feelings about it- mostly I’m just glad we had it available to help us when we needed a leg up. It was my first little car and I loved it’s blue zippyness. So I’m sad and glad. Mostly just grateful. We’ve had a good run together. I will always remember it as the defining car of this era of my life. My wee hatchback.
As we had to drive to HARTFORD to sell it, we made a stop by Costco and BabiesRUs to get some necessities. I FINALLY found the Avent Weenspoons I’ve been looking for. I’ve liked everything Avent so far, except of course, the bottle warmer. But that’s another post, already written. We also got some overnight diapers. Once le baby starts sleeping through the night, at least in terms of waking up to eat and going right back to sleep, I highly recommend Huggies Overnights. I wasn’t sure they were making a huge difference, I usually still change him once a night anyway because he poops, but last night was my first time without the overnight diapers, and YES. There is a difference. Big big difference. I can confidently let him stay in one diaper from about 6pm until 5am with the overnights…which when you have a sleeping baby on your lap more than happy to go back into his crib without exposing his hindquarters to the air…HIGHLY helpful. (They start in size three, but we’ve had him in them since 2 months just fine. I’d say any baby 12 lbs. and up can use them just fine.)
After the shopping we made our way home. Bubby was very good in the car and when he got home devoured a four once bottle, his oatmeal and pears, and made it through a few peas before calling it quits. And yes, I am still making his veggies and freezing them. I’ve found fruit to be expensive in the wintertime, though, and since we seem to concentrate more on veggies, I just buy some fruit already done from the store to give him a treat or mix with his oatmeal, rice, or mixed cereal. The other day I was eating some of the applesauce we bought for him and he started in with the begging eyes. I fed him right from my spoon and he loved it! Even chilled from the fridge! I think that constitutes his first snack. My 5 month old baby. He’s a cutie.
I’m off to see if John needs help getting him put down for the night, and then I think some relaxing is in order. For sure.

[...] update. As I stated, I did go and speak to the director of a MFA-Writing program I will apply to. Erin and I sold her car today. That will come in handy. I think I spent something like 500 hours in a couple of different cars [...]
