Friday night I had a test due at midnight... turned it in at about 11:50 p.m. I hate cutting things close like that. Hopefully I did ok.
We find out if Eli made Round 3 of the contest tonight at midnight... This would be the top 25 so we shall see!
I have to figure out how to get a video from our video camera on here. The other night Eli was playing with my by the couch before bedtime and Wes was in the kitchen getting things cleaned up. I said, "Eli, say hi dadda!" and Eli goes, "hi dadda!!" and Wes and I freaked out!!! He said it like 3 more times and we got it all on video! so so sweet... We loved it.
Eli is not quite in the "cruising" stage but he has his moments. He loves to stand up all by himself now, he's just barely trying to take some steps by himself while holding on to stuff. gosh I love him.
Also, I'm growing an intense desire to smash all of my Avent bottles into the wall. Does anyone else have a small (or big) hatred of Avent bottles???? It seems like when we first started using them we loved them and never had a problem. But for a while now I have dreaded using them because they LEAK!!!! Does Avent think I have time to clean up and retighten leaky bottles? The answer to that is NO! Bottles are expensive and that is the reason I haven't literally smashed them into the wall. uggh... anyone have any similar problems? or does anyone know of any bottles that don't leak????
I've been sad with my blog because I haven't been able to blog much lately but also that it has been pictureless for the past few blogs! :( Don't you worry, I'll start snapping some super cute pics again and post them soon!
Only one paper, one interview, one more homework page, and one more final exam to do before this fall session is over! geez...
Happy Sunday friends!

Missed you yesterday! We had fun! I hope Eli is feeling better!!
As for the bottles, we used Playtex Drop-Ins. Never had a problem. I have 9 or so bottles if you want to try them out.
Oh...I am with Catherine! ONLY Playtex drop-ins for us!!!!! Everything else was awful and seemed to leak. Uhhhhh!!!! Plus, b/c they are drop-ins, usually all you ever have to wash is the nipple. Very fast and easy. We started buying the "off brand" drop-in liners to put in the bottles and they fit great. Much cheaper. Hope this helps! :)
You know, Amanda, I used Avent bottles with both my kiddos and I don't remember them ever leaking, but I do remember the nipples getting old. You might want to try and just buy new nipples and see if that will contain the leaks, it may just be that the nipples are old and it's not sealing like it's supposed to!
Also...
Shhh! I'm saying this in a whisper voice: those photos were actually taken here in good 'ole Artesia, New Mexico. But here's the kicker, folks around here aren't aware that they are REALLY part of West Texas, but don't say that to them 'cause they're PROUD New Mexicans, that's why I'm whispering, I don't want anyone to hear me say TEXAS...
I had the same problem with the Avent bottles and bought new nipples, like Penny had said, and haven't had anymore drips and dribbles all over the place. Believe me, at one time I was ready to throw them out and start all over. lol
I do LOVE their sippy cups! Have you tried them? They are one of the few that Camden will actually drink out of. :)
And yes...I do think he looks like me. Most everyone does. :)
I hope it's a good thing!
Hope Eli made it to round 3!!!
I loved my Avent bottles. Sorry yours are leaking :( :(
I agree with the other ladies, buy new nipples. We had the same problem with the Avent bottles. Since he's almost 1, you might look at moving him to a sippy cup.I liked the Nuby Sippy Cups (you can get them at Walmart for $1) because they were similar to a bottle in the mouth part.
My Avent bottles leak on occasion around the rim. It drives me crazy, especially when I have Owen with the other hand. I just suck it up and test for a leak in the sink before I give it to him. I'm sorry you're having trouble, but at least I can commiserate with you!

amanda-
we missed you on Saturday. I got you email. Thanks! I hope Eli is feeling better. We hope to meet yall soon!
Talk to ya soon, yomaida
I haven't ever used Avent only Playtex and they have leaked some due to needing new nipples. They seem to wear out easily. By the way, I wouldn't use anything other than Playtex. I figure if our moms used them and they are still around that they are good. They are also BPA free and Playtex was giving away a free bottle on their website but I don't know if they are anymore or not.
Also, I know if your bottles do have BPA Babies R Us is giving you full in store credit for new bottles in their store. You can read about this girl doing it here http://texastriple.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-heart-babies-r-us.html
Oh, I forgot
YAY, ELI!!!
