The Chester Diaries: Peep, Quack and Chirp.

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Note: This blog is no longer active but please enjoy Chester's journey from 3 months to 2+ years.

Peep, Quack and Chirp.

Tonight was a big giggle-fest for Chester. It was the first time he laughed continuously for five, maybe ten minutes. Daddy was bouncing him on his knee while mommy sang goofy songs. I also made a song out of "There's nothing better than a duck." My favourite phrase that Quack likes to say on the show, Peep and the Big Wide world.

I actually made a video recording of it so Tim could see him laughing since he only ever sees the back of his head when the giggles take hold. It was pretty damn cute. When Tim handed him back to me after his laughfest, he was still in the mood to play.
