Poor Senor Onion. Four shots today. Two in each leg. He was not pleased. He handled it better than he handled being forced to get naked in a room full of people and then have his weight taken. That is an experience no one wants to have.
The current check-up shows that he is still a skinny baby but he is gaining. He is in the 5th percentile for weight. (yeah that is one slender kid) The hilarious part is his head size is in the 75th percentile. I gave birth to a human lollipop. He is now about 27.5 inches long. Nearly 28. Healthy as a horse, very smart and loves long walks, rain and candlelit dinners. Or something.
He also spit up all over me. He had to show the doctor his many talents.
Now I don't have to do that for another couple of months. Thank goodness.

In retail therapy news I bought a purse. I have been needing a good day handbag for quite sometime. I found this:


Mine is in burgundy with green stitching. It is by Matt&Nat. I like a lot of their stuff. They are based in Montreal and interestingly enough their products are Vegan. So if you have issues with leather you can still look stylish and what not. This handbag gets extra awesome points because it was on sale. I have to kind of thank/blame [livejournal.com profile] meowlet for the inspiration of finding a nice handbag. It isn't a mulberry but it will keep me satisfied. For now. I made some noises to Mr. Jenner about not needing a handbag now for a good long time. I did say that there would be an exception if I found, the one. I said a great handbag is like a relationship. Sometimes you have one for awhile but if you find the one that you have been waiting for your entire life you go for it. (hey let's go into accessories metaphors and similes for a moment) I like to think of Mr. Jenner as a Hermes Kelly handbag that I found brand-spanking new (complete with the dust-bag) at a garage sale for ten dollars.

When are you bringing Senor Onion down Pasadena way?

Soon soon soon.
It is a matter of organizing ourselves. You know... making sure someone brought eccles cakes and enough sunblock.
I want to visit. I am in the mood for snark and sun. Snark will do though.

Snark and sun we have in abundance. Also McVities Chocolate Digestives can be arranged.

I think in Sept. we are going to visit the inlaws, so really it is a matter of finding the right time and getting Mr. Jenner alerted to things.

nice.

I like "queen" "d-squared" and "trainspotting" the best I think!

I was totally tempted by "d-squared" and "trainspotting". I almost bought the latter. Maybe another time.

This blog is gonna be so useful later. Whereas most mums have to recount the humiliating aspects of childhood, you can just send him the url.

"And then, when I was 11 I created a bogus account for some thing called LJ, and found out Mother called me a human lollipop. Can you blame me for turning to drugs?"

All of his humilation in complete detail. The therapist can send me the bill directly.
Senor Onion should note that he is a dearly beloved lollipop so he damn well better not blame the drugs on me.

A friend of mine is so addicted to Matt&Nat that she is on the call list for 2 area stores for when they get new stuff in. Be careful, they put wierd stuff in things from Montreal....

Now that is a serious addiction.
I need to look at their pocketbooks next. Mine is falling apart. It is three years old and made of rice paper.

Thank you. I think the "on sale" factor makes it even more appealing.

The trainspotting one was my second choice. Soooo tempted. Oh so tempted.
Let the handbag Gods somehow let me have that one as well.

ugh. i hate the vaccines.
after my middle son had a reaction, we actually stopeed vaccinating, until they're older or something.

it's amzing all of the horrible things that are in a simple vaccine, but i shouldn't go off on a tangent.

Vaccines can be a tricky thing. There are a lot of studies that go either way on the subject.

I can walk around with my baby and purse and make the world envy me.
