This and That and LB

Just to clarify...

Jerk Face also told me that it sounds like my neighbor boy really went to the bar and told people about our bedtime dance in this post... So, I thought I would clear it up and tell you that sometimes I make things up in my head... This was just an imaginary rant... I'm sure he's an upstanding young man... and I don't think any negative thoughts about him because he still lives with his parents.

I know you are DYING TO KNOW whether or not the Gerber Good Start was stinky or not...

Well, Gerber Good Start was the least offensive to the olfactory senses... however, LB's tummy didn't care for it much... :(  Boo!  So, we've decided to switch back to Enfasmell ... the lesser of two evils....
************************************************************************
LB's 1st birthday is only 2 1/2 months away. Can you believe it?! Just a few days ago Jerk Face was driving us home from the hospital ...going about 15 mph!! :)  ..And now she's almost a year!
We had her 9 month well check last Monday. She's 28 inches and 19.4 lbs...
She can play pat-a-cake, wave good bye, and she'll try to pull herself up on anything she can! She can't crawl forward, but she's the best reverse scooter in town! She says 'Uh-oh' and 'mama' (she says mama usually when she's tired or mad... *sigh*) She has 4 teeth (her 2 bottoms, left vampire, and just got her top front on the left). She likes to blow and she likes to 'eat' the wind. She LOVES to click her tongue, dance, 'gurgle' and grab anything and everything within her reach!
For her birthday, I had asked whether you like owls or birds better... You guys chose owls, but Jerk Face likes the birds (because we call LB 'Tweets')... So! I'm going to try to incorporate them both :)   ...we'll see how that works out...

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Can You Smell That?

I have recently switched from nursing to formula...
I made it for 8 months... I said I would stop when it got creepy or LB got teeth...
She got teeth...   ..and I got done.
...
Which brings me to this question:
...
Does anyone else think that the formula reeks???!
We first used Enfamil (or, should I say EnfaSMELL?) and I thought that it smelled awful....  and then I moved onto the Similac..... WHOA! I mean SimiGAG!
It literally took my breath away!!!
I feel bad for feeding it to LB, but she takes it like a champ!
We think she might like all things putrid... the more rotten the better... Poor kid!

Seriously, though!  I have tried mixing it with warm water, cold water, room temperature water... and it just smells SO BAD!!!
The canisters are not close to expiring, and we tried a few cans of each.. just to be sure we didn't get a bad batch or something!!!
It doesn't stink in the can.. and the water doesn't stink... mix it together and HOLY STENCH!!!

Somebody PLEASE tell me that that is just how formula smells and I'm not feeding my baby daughter some rancid death water...
I don't think it should smell like roses.... but I don't want to gag every time I make a bottle... and then have to feed said bottle to an innocent child who doesn't know that what she is eating smells worse than ... month old garbage!  ...and that month old garbage has rotting food and other nasty odors permeating from it....
*shudder* ugh!  Nasty!
..I COULD be exaggerating a TINY bit... but not that much... it REALLY stinks. I wish I could somehow post the smell for you all to enjoy.


Next up, we have Gerber Good Start....  Please, wish us a heavenly scent!
I hope we can call it Gerber Good  Scent and not Gerber Smells like fart!
