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Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.

One Year!

Happy birthday to Chester who turned one today!  Here are some pics of the main event.  What a fun day!

Good morning!  I'm a big boy today!!!



Organic yummy cake I made for the occasion!  Never baked a cake before!
The gluten-free cake had 2 layers filled with raisins, carrots and sunflower seeds.

Sweet potato frosting with maple syrup and cinnamon.
Thanks to Tim's Uncle Ron and Aunt Trish for the amazing blender!
My mom brought the chocolate-y goodness for the big kids!
Not happy about wearing the funny hat.
Uhh...what hat?  GIMME CAKE!!!
Not sure I dig this...maybe if it was shaped like a boob?
Hmm...the frosting is YUM.
Wait?!?  Am I feeding myself???


Ok, i'm seriously DIGGING this.  Time to have some fun!


Do you think I could get any messier?
New toy from Grandma and Uncle Tony.
Enjoying his loot!
Loves Thomas the Tank!
My mom reading him a poem she wrote for C's big day.

Thanks to everyone who made the day so wonderful.  Chester appreciated all the presents and well wishes.  We love you!
