hmm...

man.. I need to change the top picture. that was from January! eek!

so no real big news here.. we're running around like chickens minus heads (ok maybe it's just me and my FIL) getting things ready for Lilly's party on saturday. But yesterday my FIL scored big! he stopped in to the local welding supply place to ask about helium. Now at the party store 20 min from here, you can rent a small tank (for 3 days only) for $30 that fills 60-12in balloons, or buy a lil $19 tank at target that does 30-9in ones. what did my my father in law get? a half empty huge huge tank that should still fill 100 balloons.. for $30! and he picked it up yesterday, so that's one less thing we need to do Fri/Sat. Good deal, huh Kelly? :)

I still need to do laundry, make tortellini salad, get feta for said salad, find buttermilk for Lilly's cake, make cookies, charge my camera battery, clean the house, make babyfood, clean IL's house, not mess up Lilly's naptime now that it's a lil earlier... and sustain my (almost) 1yr old's life!

on a different note.. the following may be TMI for some - have i told you lately that I hate my breast pump? hate hate hate pumping! I know i could just stop and give her the milk I have frozen, and just let her nurse when she wants instead of the sippy.. especially since we've started giving her a bit of whole milk in a sippy in the afternoon. but UGH! it feels like if I do that, my supply will drop even more, and she'll ween herself. Last night she barely nursed on my right, and only for a few minutes on my left before she was clearly done and ready for bed. My baby is growing up and not needing me as much already!
