1. I work with a girl who just recently moved here from Boston. The other day we got in a discussion about baby fashion...mainly because I was telling her I sometimes have a hard time finding clothes for Cohen that I like. Usually what happens when I go clothes shopping for Cohen is I end up finding 1 thing I like for him and about 10 things I like for Chase. For some reason its just so much easier finding cute girl clothes...but thats totally beside the point. The point is, she was telling me how ridiculous she thinks it looks when baby girls have huge bows/flowers in there hair. She claims its totally a Utah thing (though I suspect you could find similar fashions in Idaho/Wyoming). I personnally think that the huge flower (specifically daisy type flower) head band on a baby looks...well...not that cute. But I have seen very cute headbands for baby girls,more vintage style, that I love, and wish would have been around when Chase was a baby. Check out the ones at this etsy shop. So cute!! If you have a baby girl then purchasing one of these is a must.. at least I think so.
What do you think??? Is Utah the "baby fashion disaster" capital of the world (as my friend so nicely put it)?
2. The other night we went with some friends to see Avatar. To be honest, I liked it. Yes, the story line is a love story like many we have all seen before, with a very predictable ending, but seriously the special effects are amazing. If you are going to see it, you must do so in 3d. Also, I have a crush on Sam Worthington...even when he is a blue alien. Deal with it.
3. Speaking of movies, the past few days You've Got Mail has been on the E! channel. I have been catching bits and pieces of it every day when I have a second. I forgot how much I love that movie, and no matter how many times I see it, I cry everytime. Specifically the part when shes looking at her shop for the last time before she closes the doors forever, and you see the image of her and her mom "twirling" in the middle of the store. Sigh. Plus, the fact that there are so many lines in the movie that I love. Example: "Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around? I don't really want an answer. I just want to send this cosmic question out into the void. So good night, dear void."
4. Oh, and one more thing about movies...how do you feel about this one?
I am undecided. I fear it might be overkill. I think it maybe should have ended after the first movie...but you never know. What do you think??
5. Today was epic. Well, not really...but for the first time my little man sat up by himself for about 3 minutes (with the help of his toes)

6. Sadly, Chase will no longer take a nap most days ( I will miss my hour a day of watching T.V and vegging (sp?) out while she slept), but, the bonus is instead of sitting up and playing/reading for an hour after we read her stories and put her to bed at night, she falls asleep almost instantly. Two nights ago she fell asleep about half way through Fancy Nancy. If you will recall, sometimes she falls asleep with the book open and over her face.
(Sorry. I Guess #'s 5 and 6 weren't so much random thoughts, as they were random facts about my children...geeze! Way to keep with the title of your post Jamie.)
The End.

I have to admit that the big bow on babies is sort of a Utah mom thing. I don't see it as much up here except maybe at the Mormon church.
Not too excited about the second SITC movie. I wish they would've stopped at the first too. I don't get why they are in the desert either?? Duh.
i have never seen the big bow phenomenon here, except for babies whose parents are from utah. i think it's ugly.
So, I used to think the big bow thing was cute, until you said that. Now I realize that it is just embarassing and very "seriously so blessed" mom-style.
Also, I am thinking the new SATC movie will be dumb. I loved the first one when it came out, and each time I have watched it since then, it has pretty much gotten dumber and dumber.
