One of the other moms in our playgroup had the nifty Sophie the Giraffe teether by Vulli. This thing is like kiddie crack to babies that are teething. It’s simple and made of natural rubber, but it has all the right angles to make it easy to grab and a small squeaker inside to make it interesting once in a while. It’s also small and thin enough to tuck inside the wrap or baby carrier with Spice so that she has something else to grab and chew on other than my hair. :-)

Our local farmers’ market, the Hollywood Farmers’ Market, has oysters. *drool* They started selling there while I was pregnant and I would walk by and sigh a little. (I happily ate sushi while I was pregnant, but got sick once from raw oysters, so I thought it best to wait.) Last Sunday, I bought a dozen Luna for $10 and sampled one right at the stall – delish!
I had picked up some from Whole Foods the week before, but the farmers’ market ones were so much better. I was practically purring with each one. :-) I know they’re an acquired taste for most, but I love, love, love oysters. I either eat them unadulterated or with a little concoction of rice vinegar and finely minced shallots. The spouse made me a martini and I was just in heaven! I have decided that Sundays evenings shall be now known as Martini & Oyster night!
