Say bye bye to the high chair

I have had a love/hate relationship with the Ocean Wonders highchair. Well, hate won out and I sold the high chair on Craigslist. While Caroline didn't seem to mind the chair, I could never clean it properly. I resorted to putting the whole contraption in the shower a few times to clean all the food off it. The chair has all these nooks and crannies that seem to attract food. Anyway, between washing the seat cover, the straps (all five), the two trays, the three toys and the foot rest (which was quite useless, because it didn't reach her feet) everyday, and well, having a life, I chose the latter. Caroline has been using her booster seat temporarily, which she seems to like. I am presently considering the Stokke chair called the Tripp Trapp. The American version is called the Kinderzeat. They are basically the same chair except the Tripp Trapp can be modified to accomodate a 6 month old (with a special bar that you can add), whilst the Kinderzeat is Not Approved For Use With Children Under Eighteen Months. Too many lawyers here, I suppose. It will take some ingenuity to import one from the UK, but I am working on it.

In other news, I have been unloading our books through Amazon's Marketplace. It's very easy and I've made some quick money doing it. Who knew that someone in Minnesota would want a copy of Mars Attacks? At any rate, it feels good to get rid of unnecessary things, like books and highchairs. I just need to work on not replacing them with more books and high chairs.

A few more steps

Caroline has started walking a little more. If it's too inconvenient to get down and crawl, she will now walk a few steps. She has been really enjoying her books lately. She will hand me a book and want me to read it to her. I will read the book and then she hand it back to me and have me read it again. This game will go on for, it seems, hours. She has started doing baby signs too. We started with baby signs (actually it's just American Sign Language) a few months ago. With some persistance, she has started to understand them and now does a few of her own. Her favorite is "more." She has awoken from her nap, so I must go. I promise to blog later!

Sorry for my absence

Things have been crazy around here. Caroline is doing very well (still trying to walk) and is very frustrated at with the whole walking business. Get up, fall down. She not so into the falling aspect, but she seems to enjoy being upright.

I have been very busy selling our stuff. Ebay and Amazon have become my new friends. I have been selling our books, dvds, baby clothes, and toys. It's nice to have something to do. On the plus side, I make money and don't spend it. I have made over $600 in just 2 weeks.
