I've seen it a couple times. Thankfully Sophia doesn't show any interest in TV (except M*A*S*H). I've turned on Clifford the Big Red Dog and Curious George but she doesn't even look at the screen. She'll sometimes occupy herself with toys for a while but then she'll want me right there on the floor with her. Is there any other baby nip that you know of? ;-) Henry Lau – *cringe* I don’t know if I could take Elmos World. I’ve seen it a couple times.

I realize I may regret those words but for now communication sounds good. elijahssong – thanks so much for the support. ;-) Oh I can’t wait for her to verbalize what she wants!

Well I've discovered baby nip. It's called Elmos World. It gives me 20 to 30 minutes of time where Chloe ignores me and attentively listens, sways, claps, and dances to everything Elmo says. I hate Elmo, but I'm willing to sacrifice my own personal comfort for "some" free time. If Sophia likes it, well, then you can blog more for Susan :P P.S. I also hate Barney, but again, Chloe likes it. However, it isn't as addictive as Elmo, but it helps. :) Erica, You’ve heard of catnip? Well I’ve discovered baby nip. It’s called Elmos World.

If i sit down, he wants on my lap, and I can't even take a pee by myself... I have a three month old now, and finally he is starting to get a little more independence..but he is also talking now...I know what your going through... He also wakes up at night and wants me...and has massive tantrums if i don't respond quickly enough.. There is hope...hang in there....Once they start to talk it really does make a difference....

I pick her up in the morning to hug and cuddle for a few minutes, but if that's not enough for her she spends the rest of the morning crying and following me around as I get things done. That's why I need a break. My ears are still ringing from the other day! lol She isn't like this ALL the time but there are those days and after a string of them I'm just totally wore out. ciara – I don’t *totally* cater to her.

I had the same problem until Sophia started real grown-up solid foods. Now I set her down with some Cheerios, cheese or whatever while I cook something up quick for both of us (we eat A LOT of eggs). After I feed her one bit from her dish I get one bite from mine, then I let her play with her empty dish while I shovel the rest of my food in. :P As far as the mind numbing part, I just can't wait till Sophia is old enough for real Legos so we can build cool stuff. Those Mega Bloks are CRAP! And maybe if she wasn't so clingy I could read, learn to bake, and update my blog for Susan :P Henry Lau – I’m totally right there with you!

Except that During the day Sophia comes to the bathroom with me and Sophia is called rubber band girl at gatherings cause she only strays a short distance away and then bounces back to me. Two languages at once - what a lucky girl! I keep trying to find places to practice Spanish so I can teach Sophia, but it's not really working out. Susan Anderson – Oh that definitely sound familiar!

I'm starving away to nothing. I need a break. It's hard being at home with the kid and mind numbing. Calgon take me away! My body is running on caffeine only and my heart is starting to hurt :) I say we ditch the others so they see what it's like for a day. Chloe won’t even let me eat! I’m starving away to nothing.
