The Chester Diaries

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Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.

So today I noticed something interesting. While Callum was playing in his jumper, a TV show came on which made him spin his head around like The Exorcist. After that, all bouncing ceased and he lay slumped over in his bouncer rapt. Since he was craning his neck around the chairs that were in the way, I sat him in his rocker for a few minutes just to see if he would lose interest.
