 We are switching one baby from think baby bottles to
 dr. Browns. What do people do with old bottles?
 Recycle? Donate?

 Use a humidifier if you don't already use one, I think
 it's helpful. Hope your little one feels better soon.

 A humidifier really helped our little one with his
 first cold. I also took him in the shower with me at
 the end of it, when the room is all steamy. I could see
 the relief on his face when all the mucous loosened up!
 Ew, but you know, good. Just be careful, they are
 slippery! Good luck, I hope your little one is on the
 mend soon!

 snotsucker as well...fun!Thanks for chiming in!~Judy

 When did folks start transitioning from the bouncy
 seats to highchairs for eating? My boys have started
 successfully, and excitedly, eating rice cereal and a
 few fruits and veggies. I have them currently in their
 bouncy seats for feedings. So they need to be able to
 sit up on their own?

 We also love visiting San Diego! Our girls are 3 and we
 went last month for 4 days. They had the most fun at
 Legoland (all the rides are perfectly suited for this
 age). Had heard that Sea World is mostly shows so not
 worth it until the kids are older. We also visited the
 New Children's Museum downtown, all the exhibits are
 hands on. We stayed at a comfortable cozy guest cottage
 in the La Jolla area that I found on VRBO that was very
 reasonably priced. If you'd like details on the rental,
 email me at jcloh88 at yahoo.comJoanie

 We had a similar issue- new rav 4 2010, 2.5 year old
 ex...and the boys were born in October. We took the car
 to that big baby shop on clement - cant rememenr the
 name of it- and test ride three wide. Also test rode
 three wide with bigger seats. We ended up having to buy
 a new toddler seat, but cheaper than a new car :) good
 luck and congrats!

 We signed a contract with our night nanny. It was very
 basic and straightforward. We wanted to "lock" her in
 for a specific amount of time and she, of course,
 wanted a firm commitment to ensure steady work and
 plus, she was in high demand. Although we did perform a
 background check with our nanny now that I am back to
 work, I did not with our night nanny. Mostly because I
 was in the home at night when she was there and the
 babies were right next to us. If you are comfortable
 with her references, then I think you are okay. But,
 perhaps others could provide better insight.By the way,
 good for you on hiring one. I was very hesitant to the
 idea, but my husband insisted and I am so grateful to
 him that he did. I really, really needed the rest
 because I was taking care of twin infants by myself
 starting when they were 3 weeks old (my husband is self
 employed and could not take much time off). My night
 nanny was a life saver and she was such a wonderful
 presence during those first few months...I miss her!
