On this Friday morning, here are the things that I am thinking about, in no particular order:1) I can't wait to see Texas Mommy and her boys this weekend for Baby J's baptism! Yay, Baby J! Hmmm, I'd better make sure that we all have appropriate attire that fits the kids (and me!)...
2) How am I going to keep 4 kids, ages 12 months through 4 1/2 years, happy on the playground this morning? (Another mom and I are "trading kids" during parent-teacher conferences at C's school.) Will I be able to nurse Maria while watching the other kiddos, or is this totally over-ambitious?
3) Where can I find shoes that will actually stay on little Maria's pudgy feet? Shoes that won't come easily off when she tugs at them, but that aren't too difficult to wrestle onto a squirmy wormy 1 year-old?
4) What kind of cake should I make for her one-year birthday next week? Or should it be a pie?
5) How can it be that Maria is already turning 1? Has a year really already gone by?
And that's about it, folks :) I need a cup of coffee before you'll get any deeper thoughts out of me :)

I love the chance to peer into the mind of another mother, particularly on a Friday morning when the weekend is at large! :) Enjoy Baby J's baptism this weekend... We'd love to be there, Texas Mommy!
Happy Birthday to Maria. My Birthday is next week too!
Update: The playground outing went well, except for the fact that Maria wouldn't stop sneaking the little rocks that covered the ground into her mouth. Now I remember why I signed C up for Gymboree at this age - playgrounds with gravel/sand/woodchips are tough to navigate in the early walking stage!
WOW, Kat. Maria looks like a little girl now, not a baby anymore. 6 to 12 months is a big transformation time. I guess the first several years are! She's BEAUTIFUL and definitely favors you, in my opinion.
As for shoes, have you tried Robeez or the Target version of Robeez (which are about $13 new). You probably have, but just in case, I think they rock. B-mama turned me onto them originally with Bella, and they're our footwear of choice until the kids are really walking hard.
Have a wonderful weekend, you Texans!
I just bought two pair of Robeez for my Maria, almost 10 months, at Amazon last week and they were like $15 which I thought was great. I could never get the Target ones to stay on my son's feet, so I prefer Robeez.
My Maria was 41 weeks on Friday (I take her pic every week) and I was thinking really? Really in 11 weeks she'll be one year old? Amazing. Happy Birthday to your Maria! My vote is for a cupcake. :)
