The Chester Diaries: Celebrating the feast and famine known as new motherhood.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Lara and I gave birth in April, 2010 to a baby boy. I've been calling him "Chester" since he was a little chestnut in my tummy. To commemorate his three month birthday, I wanted to write about the crazy, joyous and exhausting ride I've been having as a first-time mom. If you're interested in reading about the highs and lows of uncharted mommy territory as well as my unhealthy obsession with shopping, (particularly baby gear), reviews, and pop culture observations, then you've come to the right place. Be warned: This cute kid has a mommy who can be a bit of a potty mouth.

Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.

Chester loves his crib.



He especially enjoys wreaking havoc in it.


After all, there are no small challenges.  Only small people.



Whether it be trying to push a loved toy to plummet to an unfortunate demise:



With gleeful abandon and not a stitch of remorse...




No toy is safe.



Then of course there was countless attempts at The Breakout of 2010.




Between bonking his head ever single day, throwing binkies and lovies through the slats and hooking his feet through the bars when he's asleep, the crib bars have been an endless battle of fetch, not to mention hazardous.  This kid shows no signs of slowing down.



So after so many shenanigans, enough was enough.  We brought in some breathable bumpers.



They're pretty thin but at least they're safe.  And better than nothing.



So what did the kid go and do?  He took one look at them and yanked them down.  Ho hum.  Old hat.  Then he proceeded to bonk himself in the noggin.  Sigh.  That kid shows real talent.
