- "The most eccentric-looking wizard...Slightly cross-eyed, with shoulder-length white hair the texture of candyfloss, he wore a white cap whose tassel dangled in front of his nose and robes of an eye-watering shade of egg-yolk yellow. An odd symbol, rather like a triangular eye, glistened from a golden chain around his neck"
- —Harry Potter's impression of Xenophilius Lovegood[src]
Xenophilius "Xeno" Lovegood (fl. 1981-2014) was the editor of The Quibbler magazine, the husband of Pandora, and the father of Luna Lovegood. His wife died when their only child was nine years old, and he raised his daughter by himself. He was likely the source of his daughter's eccentric beliefs, although he was often correct in his assumptions. He believed in the existence of the Deathly Hallows and supported Harry in The Quibbler when few others would.
Xenophilius and Luna lived in a house shaped like a rook chess piece near the village of Ottery St. Catchpole and were friends with the Weasleys. In the summer of 1997, Xenophilius and Luna attended Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding at the Burrow. In 1998, Luna was kidnapped by Death Eaters. To save her, Xenophilius betrayed Harry Potter to Death Eaters; but Harry, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley managed to escape. He was temporarily imprisoned in Azkaban by the Death Eaters.
After the Second Wizarding War, he left the prison and continued editing The Quibbler. When Luna married Rolf Scamander, Xenophilius had two grandsons, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.
Early life
Xenophilius was born into the Lovegood family and may have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a Ravenclaw. At an unknown time, he married a witch with whom he had a daughter, Luna Lovegood. He raised Luna himself after Pandora died when her magical experiment went wrong.
Xenophilius created a magazine called The Quibbler, in which he wrote about his obscure beliefs, including the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
At some point during his life, Xenophilius attended one of Eldred Worple's book signings. It is likely that he shared his ridiculous beliefs and/or conspiracy theories with Worple, as the latter remembered him as a "seriously unbalanced man".[3]
Quidditch World Cup
In 1994, Xenophilius and Luna watched the Quidditch World Cup; Ireland versus Bulgaria.
The Quibbler
In 1996, Xenophilius published Harry Potter's story about the night he saw Lord Voldemort return and sent Harry a free copy. This was the fastest-selling edition of The Quibbler, even being reprinted at least once before Mr. Lovegood sold the story to the Daily Prophet. The Lovegoods used the money received from selling the story to the Prophet to travel to Sweden over the summer to search for a Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
When Rufus Scrimgeour became Minister for Magic, Xenophilius planned to print a story in The Quibbler stating that Scrimgeour was a vampire. However the Ministry stepped in and prevented him from printing the story; Xenophilius believed that this was because the Ministry did not want the truth to get out.
Second Wizarding War
Bill and Fleur's wedding
After the Ministry of Magic fell under the control of Lord Voldemort, the Daily Prophet fell under the control of the Death Eaters as well. The Quibbler, however, continued to print the truth and Xenophilius made his support of Harry Potter very clear.
Daughter's ransom
- "They took my Luna because of what I've been writing. They took my Luna and I don't know where she is, what they've done to her. But they might give her back to me if I -- If I... I must save Luna. I cannot lose Luna. You must not leave."
- —Xenophilius to Harry Potter in 1998[src]
Xenophilius's public support of Harry Potter eventually got him in trouble with Death Eaters, who kidnapped his daughter and held her hostage at Malfoy Manor; Xenophilius intended to do whatever it took to get her back. He agreed to publish anti-Potter articles in the Quibbler, following the line of the Voldemort-dominated Ministry. When he was visited by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger later in the year, Xenophilius alerted Death Eaters, hoping they would return Luna in exchange. While waiting for the Death Eaters' arrival, Xenophilius told the trio about the Deathly Hallows, and explained that the symbol of the Deathly Hallows was worn by believers and seekers of the Hallows to identify themselves to one another. When they grew suspicious of him after realising that Luna had not been home in some time, Xenophilius attempted to stun Harry and his friends, but missed, hitting an erumpent horn and causing his house to collapse.
The Death Eaters Travers and Selwyn arrived and briefly tortured Xenophilius, believing that he was trying to trick them about Harry being at his home. After the Human-presence-revealing spell revealed that there were others in the house, the Death Eaters sent Xenophilius up the stairs. Hermione rapidly wiped his memory of what they had discussed with him, and then blasted a hole through the floor to facilitate the trio's escape, engineering it so that the Death Eaters saw that Harry was indeed there, thus ensuring that neither Xenophilius nor Luna were punished for lying, and so that neither saw Ron, who was supposed to be at home sick with spattergroit.
Imprisonment and release
After the trio's escape, Xenophilius was arrested and sent to Azkaban. His attempted betrayal was unknown, with the anti-Potter issue of the Quibbler buried under the debris of his home and never distributed. He was released after Voldemort's defeat in May of 1998. Luna, in the meantime, was rescued by the house-elf Dobby from Malfoy Manor, and survived the war. Harry, Ron and Hermione preserved Xenophilius' reputation and never revealed the truth, as his attempted betrayal had been motivated solely by concern for his daughter.
Later life
As an adult, Luna would soon come to realise the truth about her father, and accepted that some of his creatures did not exist. She married Rolf Scamander, grandson of the famous Newt Scamander, and the couple had twins, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander, thus making Xenophilius a grandfather. It is not known what happened to Xenophilius beyond this, except that when his daughter travelled to the Patagonian Desert, in Argentina, to attend the final of the 427th Quidditch World Cup, in July 2014, Lorcan and Lysander were left at home with Xenophilius.[4].
Physical appearance
Xenophilius was an eccentric-looking wizard, who looked slightly cross-eyed and had shoulder length hair that was the texture of candyfloss.
At Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding, he wore a cap with a tassel that dangled in front of his nose, and wore a golden chain around his neck, that bore the sign of the Deathly Hallows, sometimes mistaken as the mark of Gellert Grindelwald. He also wore robes of an eye-watering shade of egg-yolk yellow which Muriel said made him look like an omelette.
Personality and traits
- Hermione Granger: "I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!"
- Xenophilius Lovegood: "Yes, you could. I am glad to see that you are opening your mind a little."
- — Xenophilius speaking to a frustrated Hermione Granger about the Deathly Hallows[src]
Xenophilius cared a great deal about his daughter Luna, and shared her strange beliefs; he was likely the cause of them. He thought the Daily Prophet was an awful paper, and only published stories that he thought were important and needed to be known by the public. He was extremely firm in his bizarre beliefs and views, and felt those who contradicted them were "...painfully limited. Narrow. Close-minded ". According to Luna, her father did not care about making money, and did not pay people to write for The Quibbler and that they did so because it was an honour to see their name in print. Luna also said that her father was supportive of any anti-Ministry action. Mr. Lovegood fully supported Harry Potter, and encouraged others to do so as well, until his daughter was kidnapped by Death Eaters. Xenophilius cared about Luna so much that he was willing to hand Harry, Ron and Hermione over to the Death Eaters in exchange for his daughter.
Among his beliefs was the belief in the Deathly Hallows, (which actually proved to be real), as well as the existence of numerous magical cryptids such of Crumple-Horned Snorkacks. He also believed that gnomes had powerful magic, and that the dirigible plum would enhance one's ability to accept the extraordinary. Although he sought the Deathly Hallows, given his personality, he was likely interested in them more as a matter of curiosity about such unusual objects, rather than a desire to actually possess or use them.
Given his tendency to belief in dubious and ridiculous views, it is not far-fetched to believe that he became the subject of pranks and mockery, as a young wizard gave him an Erumpent horn and claimed that it belonged to a Crumple-Horned Snorkacks. Unbeknownst to the Lovegoods, the Erumpent horn will blow up if given even a slightest touch. This also shows that he is ignorant on some of the magical creatures, as he mistakenly believe that it belonged to the non-existant Snorkacks.
- Wand: Xenophilius's was of unknown length, core and wood materials. It was purchased by him prior to his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
- Dress robes: These dress robes were worn by Xenophilius Lovegood to the wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour, along with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows. He explained that wearing sun colours to a wedding was believed to be good luck. His daughter, Luna, wore the same colours to the wedding.
- Necklace: This was an ornament that he wore to Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's wedding. Some, like Viktor Krum suspected him of being a Dark Wizard, but actually the necklace simply bears the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.
- House: The Lovegood House is a black-coloured cylindrical house on top of a hill with a stream at the base of it, it is located near the village of Ottery St. Catchpole. It is the home of Xenophilius and and his daughter Luna.
- Erumpent horn: Xenophilius owned an Erumpent horn that he claimed to be the horn of a Crumple-Horned Snorkack. He proudly displayed it and accidentally blew it up, which resulted in his home being torn apart.
- Bust of Rowena Ravenclaw: This bust of Rowena Ravenclaw was created by Xenophilius Lovegood who was trying to recreate the magical properties of her diadem.
Xenophilius' name comes from two Greek words: Xenos "strange" and -Phile "love". As opposed to xenophobe, one who fears the strange, his name means "one who loves the strange."
Xenophilius' name bears a similarity to the X-Files, and like X-Files main character Fox Mulder, he describes himself as a "believer." Both characters investigate and believe in numerous conspiracy theories which are not accepted by their mainstream culture.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Xenophilius is played by Welsh actor Rhys Ifans.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Xenophilius triggers the Taboo, which leads to the capture of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, which differs from the book, where Harry triggers the Taboo.
- In the book, Xenophilius has a wand and uses it in a small, short duel with Hermione. In Part 1 of the film, there is no mention of him having a wand nor is it seen in the film.
- It is possible that Xenophilius and Luna fought in the wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour after it was attacked.

Notes and references
- ↑ Xenophilius was not forced to go on the run when Snatchers began scouring across Britain, thus he couldn't have been Muggle-born.
- ↑ "In Ch. 4 of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states that family members are often Sorted into the same House. This may indicate that Xeno was Sorted into Ravenclaw, as Luna was Sorted into Ravenclaw. However, there are exceptions. Also, The doorknocker of his house is shaped like an eagle, the symbol of Ravenclaw house.

Fishing Report - Last Update: 5/1/2015
Species | Rating | Size | Baits, Method, & Location | ||||
Rainbow Trout | Excellent | Up to 2 lbs | Rainbow trout are being stocked at KDOT East Lake and Vic's Lake in Wichita. Slough creek is VERY LOW on water, and trout will be stocked at that location when conditions improve. | ||||
Channel Catfish | Fair | Up to 2-3 lbs | The first stocking of Catfish occurred on March 16, and stockings will continue monthly through September. Prepared baits, dough baits and even hot dogs will catch Channel Catfish in the Wichita Area. Chisholm North, Watson and the KDOT lakes are excellent for Catfish. | ||||
White Crappie | Good | Up to 12" | Use small jigs or a minnow and fish around brush piles close to the shoreline. Crappie are best at the KDOT Lakes, Watson Park, K-96 lake and Chisholm North lake. | ||||
Largemouth Bass | Poor | Up to 18" | Bass fishing in Wichita can be found at any of the lakes, but the best reports come from the KDOT lakes, Emery Park, Blackbird and Sunflower Ponds and Chisholm north lake. Use large spinning lures and fish around logs and woody debris or near standing vegetation. | ||||
Bluegill | Good | Up to 1 lb | Sunfish are a great choice when other fishing gets a little slow. A simple small piece of worm fished under a bobber near the shore will yield the best catches. Bluegill are present in every lake in the area, but are especially good at Blackbird and Sunflower ponds, Chisholm North lake, and Emery Park Pond. | ||||

What are your must-have registry items?
1. Phil & Ted's hook-on high chair. When Toby was born, our then-apartment was so small that we couldn't fit a high chair into the kitchen. So we clipped this cute little chair to our kitchen table, and it worked really well.
2. Sophie the Giraffe. Every baby I know is obsessed with Sophie. She's fun to chew, she squeaks and she's French!
3. BabyBjorn Travel Crib. This light, SUPER easy-to-use travel crib was a splurge, but it was SO worth it. We've brought it on every vacation, and Anton actually sleeps in the travel crib every night at home these days, too.
4. Cotton onesies. Nothing is cuter than a baby in a white onesie, don't you think? And you can get five of these for less than $20.
5. My Brest Friend. I loved this pillow, which you wrap around your waist while breastfeeding to keep your baby supported. Without this, my back and arms really ached. A total lifesaver.
Plus, a sticker pad for the older sibling! We gave Toby this make-a-meal sticker pad the week that Anton was born, and he played with it while I was breastfeeding and resting during those hazy days. It kept everyone happy:)
We often order products from Diapers.com, which delivers within two days. You can easily create a baby registry, too, which I wish I had known about with our boys! They have some awesome perks, like the option to wait to ship registry items up to six months past your due date (if you don't have room for everything right away), and getting a 10% discount six weeks before your due date, so you can buy all your remaining registry items. Create a registry here, if you'd like.
Gift for all readers: Diapers.com is offering 15% off when you buy gifts from a friend's registry (or when you buy gifts for yourself off your own registry). Just enter the code REGISTRY15 when you check out. This offer applies only to registry purchases and excludes diapers, wipes and formula; good through April 30, 2014; one use per household. Additional restrictions apply.
What are your must-have baby items? What do you recommend to friends and family? And big congratulations to the expectant mamas out there! Hope you're feeling well :)

A Baby Bjorn carrier or some sort of sling for those first couple months. Sometimes baby just doesn't want to be sat down but you have to get stuff done and carriers are the best invention to help with that. I also strongly believe in the Diaper Genie diaper pail.
- Joanna Goddard said...
yes, totally! i loved the ergo.
- kyracross said...
The list you posted awhile back was such a blessing when all confused when I was starting to plan. Love all of these things too. White onesies. Agreed. The best and my favorite. I am so sad that she is almost done with them. Thanks Joanna! xo
- Christine said...
LOVED my brest friend that I got as a hand me down from my cousin. Made breastfeeding my first baby so much easier and comfortable. I recommend it to everyone expecting.
- Unknown said...
Yes! My baby loves loves Sophie. Funny how she's such a 'thing'.
The Miracle Blanket saved us because baby girl houdini'ed out of swaddles and hated those velcro swaddle blankets.
Also getting surprising use out of the baby gym - something I thought was totally just an extra turned out to be an essential.

Baby Bjorn Travel Crib was a lifesaver. That and a sound machine (we've been through 3 of them if anyone can recommend a good one that lasts...) and also I'm really big into SAFE products for mom/baby/home and love the California baby line as well as products from Beautycounter. In fact, I love them so much, I signed up as a consultant. Check it out here: anna.beautycounter.com or email me!
- Leigh Anne and Sandy said...
Nosefreida! I give this to EVERYONE I know with a new baby. It looks weird and gross but it is not, and honestly when you truly need it you won't care!
Nook Lily Pad--these are great soft surfaces to set the baby down on in your own home, or carry with you (I do NOT travel light)...
also a bouncer or swing for the bathroom so you can take showers and get dressed when you are by yourself. I really like the Nuna Leaf, but I also had a very inexpensive fisher price one that got the job done and was very light and easy to carry from room to room. - 4:00 PM
- anniematic said...
I was JUST looking through your registry guide the other day - thanks so much for the update with top must-haves! Do you have favorite bottoms to pair with white onesies for babies in colder climates?
- Hemingway said...
Boppy pillow! Four or five Kissy Kissy snap-front gowns (so soft and SO easy with a newborn for changing diapers, etc) Miracle Blanket swaddle (was our sleep savior for the first 4 months) Wooden Montessori teething rings- they were the first thing he loved to grasp and gum. A really beautiful, quality baby blanket or stroller blanket. Nosefrida snot sucker. To name a few!!!
- Lauren Fraley said...
Joanna - is it incredibly weird that I'm dying to hear Anton's birth story? I loved Toby's (and Alex's POV!) and would love to hear more about how your experience differed from child to child!
- andrea nicole said...
For us, it was the trusty Miracle Blanket and a white noise machine. The Nosefrida is pretty great too. And I second the recommendation for the Brest Friend. I found it was WAY more supportive for mom + baby than the Boppy.
- New Mom and the City said...
I couldn't live without the Baby Bjorn babysitter seat, especially since it's so portable and light you can drag it around the house or fold it flat to take in the car. And in my opinion, the best sound machine is by Marsona (you can find it on amazon)
www.newmomandthecity.blogspot.com - 4:03 PM
- Playground Prepster said...
Great list! We survived thanks to a few of those. I love love love the Nose Frida and always give it as a gift. The ergo was crucial for us from 4 months - 2 years. I'm planning on purchasing the infant insert for our next babe.
- E. and Baby P. said...
for us it was the ergo, the miracle blanket and the sleep sack.
- Karelys Beltran Davis said...
I would say some high quality pure essential oils. Sometimes a dab of lavender or chamomile can soothe a baby that is fuzzy and you can't medicate it.
As much as I love doing things naturally I am so goal oriented so when I have a headache or when I am feeling drifty I down some tylenol no problem or drink loads of coffee. You can do that with babies! so good natural essential oils can be life saving!
An amber necklace has really helped with teething and the pain of growth spurts. I never had issues with the kid messing it with.
And even though this isn't a product it has really helped me. Taking baths together! sometimes I am just so tired! so if I get in a warm bath and hold my baby (later on just let him play) I kill two birds with one stone. Not ideal and not as relaxing but at least you don't have to do two things separately when you are soooo tired! - 4:08 PM
- Lauren Modeen said...
Does anyone know if the BabyBjorn travel crib would be suitable for a brand new infant? Ie; a place to sleep the day coming home from the hospital? I was thinking of getting a Pack and Play with a newborn insert for this purpose, but I like the idea of something lighter!
- tina bumblebee said...
My #1 registry must have that I preach to every new mom is the Fisher Price Rock and Play. That thing saved my LIFE and has for so many moms that I've suggested it to :)
- Meg G said...
Thank you, Joanna! Your list was so helpful when I was doing my registry. I was terrified of the onesie at first, so the white long sleeve snap tees were amazing. Also the aden & anais swaddle blankets--they are so soft and just get better every time you wash them.
- Joanna Goddard said...
omg, YES to the baby gym!! anton is obsessed with it and it allows parents time to cook dinner, take a quick shower, etc.!! we love ours :)
- Joanna Goddard said...
kyra, we put toby in onesies until he was 3 :) i couldn't bear to stop!
- Joanna Goddard said...
annie, yes! we have anton wear onesies with mabo pants. i love them so, so much, and they last forever. http://mabokids.com/
- Rudey R said...
Two of those are gifts I like to give: cotton onesies from the Gap, and Sophie la Giraffe (since I'm a French teacher) and it is too cute! I also really love trumpette socks.
My Brest Friend is truly the best! I loved it so much I even brought it with me to the hospital for my second daughter. - 4:14 PM

I love, love, love the Hudson Baby Organic Receiving Blankets. These gems make the best swaddling blankets. They wash up perfectly, you can stuff them in your bag or purse, use them as a light stroller/car seat blanket, make a great breastfeeding cover for mom and baby......I cannot say enough good things about the receiving blanket. And not to mention super affordable. The blue and pink version via Amazon are under $10 and the white are slightly more.
Every new parent must have a few of these handy. - 4:18 PM

The Ergobaby is amazing! My daughter can't help by fall asleep every time she's in it because she's so cozy. White noise was a lifesaver!!! We used The WhiteNoise baby app for the iPhone/iPad. So many different sounds and never goes bad. Just turn the phone on airplane mode when your using t near baby!
- Amanda said...
Great list. I'd say if you're breastfeeding, then a couple of good quality, soft and comfy bras, and some soft nursing pads. Some of them are so itchy, and that's the last thing you want when comfort is so key in those early days! I loved the hotmilk bras, I live in the UK, so had to order them online, but they are amazing!
- Jessica Thiessen said...
All of those items are fantastic must-haves. I also couldn't live without some sort of carrier. It was the only thing that keep our little boy from crying most of the day.
ALSO, those curved pillows are a LIFE SAVER if you have to get a c-section. It keeps weight off of the incision. - 4:34 PM

These posts are so great/helpful!
Our sweet girl is now 11 weeks old, and our "must-haves" are a bit different!! We actually loved and used everything on our registry except for our fancy Stokke bassinet (we bed-shared then built a co-sleeper instead). Our must haves:
-unbleached indian cotton prefolds (for everything! in all sizes)
-the baby k'tan & sakura bloom sling (she slept through dinner parties, walks, grocery shopping, art openings and movies in these! well, for 9 weeks. now she looks around, but is calm/ content in one of these)
-hudson organic baby blankets (so inexpensive and perfect! we did not like the aden+ anais ones for swaddling at all)
-boppy pillow & bjorn balance (both things were given to us/not on our registry and we thought we would never use them! wrong! such lifesavers)
-lanacare wool cap (so, so sweet and cozy. i was teary when i found she had outgrown it)
-organic unrefined coconut oil (for baby tushes, dry patches, and add lavender or other oil for massage)
-under the nile sleep gowns (she has worn them from week 1---now and still has room! they are wonderful)
-goat milk onesies
-baggu bags (you can just toss everything in there and go!)
-white noise app for car travel (+maxi cosi pria carseat that we love)
-GroVia diapers-- all in ones, hybrids and newborn aios, + prefolds+ snappis we love our cloth diapers.
-wooden rattles/teethers
-a meal train!! our friends brought us delicious dinners for two weeks. it was outstanding. - 4:59 PM
- Inari said...
I wrote about the same thing here: http://momnari.blogspot.com/2013/07/must-haves.html
One of my suggested items may seem a little controversial, but honestly, it saved my household's life. - 5:01 PM
- Betsy said...
We have ONE must-have: the Puj tub. I give it to everyone and even my husband goes around telling people about it. Check it out!
- ohhh said...
- Philips Avent blender/steamer is great, saved us tons of money and I can make my baby the freshest food possible, adjusting every tiny detail as she is growing.
- Aden & Anais swaddle blankets - these have been used for swaddling, baby sunshade, baby mosquito net, and now, in the colder months, as a bath towel :)
- Also love the Phil & Teds highchair :) sooo convenient for travelling or just taking it to visit friends or grandma.
- Anna bag, as I hate the too-obvious-can't-take-anywhere-without-the-baby diaper bags, but this one is super lovely and well made. http://etsy.me/1mtb4Qr
- Nosefrida is great! And when the baby is healthy, it's awesome as a toy :D Baby loves to chew on it (no teeth yet) - 5:42 PM
- Jennie said...
Weleda calendula nappy change cream is THE best baby bum cream and has a gorgeous smell!
- Liz M C said...
Swaddlers (the wrap, not the diaper) and bouncer seats. The bouncer was perfect for when I needed to take a shower and hubby wasn't home to watch Charlie. Id sit it on the bathroom floor, strap him in and peek out of the shower to keep an eye on him.
- Kacie @ A Collection of Passions said...
I love this. I get asked all the time so like you I made my own list last week... well updated it last week. It kind of changes after the second babe! Mine has a few more than five items on it though! http://acollectionofpassions.com/blog/favorite-things-for-babies-and-toddlers
IF I had to pick five? Nosefrida, Solly, Ergo, Aden+Anais Swaddles... and the Snuza monitor.

Oh Lordy, and how could I forget nursing pads! I must've gone through hundreds of them the first year. I originally bought the cotton reusable kind because I thought it was so cool and green. HA! When my son was a week old we went to a friend's Super Bowl party and I wore my eco cotton pads. By the 4th quarter I had leaked through my shirt AND sweater and it had dripped down to my belly button. My husband couldn't understand my subtle "we need to leave NOW" hints, so I unzipped my black hoodie and "flashed" my milk soaked grey tank top. He was like "Oh crap, WE DO NEED TO GO!!"
The Johnson and Johnson pads were my favorite and seemed to hold the most amount of liquid. - 6:20 PM
- alishalouise.com said...
Great post! My daughter may be the only kid in recent history who didn't give two hoots about Sophie. The things we loved/love and would have had a hard time living without:
1. Footed cotton pjs. Easy on and off, feet stay warm, cozy and so cute on baby.
2. Miracle blanket. The very first time I tried it, my child fell asleep within 5 minutes. I almost cried with relief!
3. Sound machine. Still invaluable. You can make a normal amount of noise just one room over and they sleep soundly.
4. Boppy/Breast friend
5. Target nursing bras. I ended up buying so many different sizes as the months went on that I ditched the expensive ones. They held up pretty well!
6. Bouncer/swing. Often the only place our brand new babe would soundly sleep.
Probably many more, but I found several things I thought I needed right away (crib, high chair, toys, clothes other than cute pjs or onesies) I definitely didn't! - 6:27 PM
- Sarah Nau said...
LOVED our Aden & Anais swaddle blankets--they were so versatile and we still use them (big bro is 2.5, little one is due soon!) Also, the Nosefrida Snotsucker is a must-have. So helpful for little congested noses.
Also, I wish I had known about weespring.com when I was pregnant. An awesome resource of must-haves, rated by those you trust--friends and family! You have to check it out! - 6:38 PM
- babymama said...
OMG muslin swaddling blankets from aden + anais! they are a little expensive but so well made. Now that Logan is bigger he sleeps with them as loveys, they are great for stroller blankets, burp cloths, everything. I love them.
- madiebaby said...
Those are good ones, especially the Bjorn travel crib. We registered for a Pack n Play and returned it for the pricier-but-way-better Bjorn. I'd add to the list: Ergo baby carrier, Aden & Anais muslin swaddle blankets, some kind of play mat/baby gym, a swing if you can't get a hand-me-down one, some kind of baby seat/bouncer (we liked the snugabunny), and a good sound machine. NOT the sleep sheep, which turns off after 45 minutes (waking baby up!) We love the HomeMedics Sound Spa (check Amazon). I feel like such a pro now with my all-of 6 month old! :)
- Scout and Rice said...
Agree with all of your must-haves! Especially the Bjorn travel crib. I was hesitant to pay so much for it in the beginning, but it has been a life-saver.
I'd also add an Ergo or other carrier - it was perfect for those times that you needed to duck in/out of stores and didn't want to get an entire stroller out of the car. - 7:05 PM
- Stephanie said...
I love Under the Nile burp cloths, sleep sacks for when they outgrow/refuse swaddling, Naty by Nature diapers, Butt Paste, and the pacifiers with stuffed animals on the end!
- Melissa McCoy said...
Thank you for this. My head is spinning at all the things to think about for my upcoming first baby. Nice to have some pointers!
- Michal Conger said...
Thanks for this! :) I'm making my registry for our first two (twins!) and have been wondering what some must-haves are besides the usual swaddles and slings. :)
- Sarah F. said...
I second or third those who recommended the nose frida!! Lifesaver!!!
- Renae said...
Well, since I had a baby who would only nap on us (on the my brest friend pillow) or in his swing - I would say the swing my friend brought over - total game changer for us.
- icecreamandbuckets said...
A baby bjorn carrier or an ergo (we wound up with both but used the BB for when Logan was really little).
I found face washers were a life saver, we used them instead of wipes to start with.
Also lots of swaddle wraps or cotton nappies especially when breast feeding and your milk has a tendency to squirt every where! - 10:35 PM
- darla harker said...
Wow everyones comments are great and your list too! I'm a mom of 7 so things have changed from my first to this one. A must have is a great diaper rash cream. My hometown pharmacy makes their own and it works better than anything i've found. I too love aden & anais, brest friend pillow,sofie, a great pacifier and tons of burp cloths. I live in Canada so I have a fleece/waterproof zip up thing for my carseat. Goodluck with your little ones and most importantly take a little notepad or your phone with you and record all the special moments immediately so you don't forget.

NosFrida snot sucker. LIFESAVER when the little one is sick. I just bought four to keep on hand for baby gifts.

That baby bjorn travel crib looks amazing! I am in the process of filling out registries and I am soooo thankful for this discount! Thank you!
- Anne Hill said...
totally agree with all of these! I would all the velcro swaddle blankets though- life savers!
- Heather Emaus said...
So funny how some things on these must haves were must haves for us, too! I Second the gym! Our little baby loves to play on the gym (we call it getting her workout). IKEA makes a very nice-looking wooden one, which was way prettier than any other I found.
I also NEEDED a good breast pump! Unfortunately, I had to go back to work so a good one was key!
Oh! And our little girl was in the 99th percentile and outgrew the sink-tubs very early, so we needed to run out and get a bigger bath (which I was hoping to avoid, as it takes up so much room, but she loves bath time so it's worth it :) - 11:54 PM
- Barret said...
I love your blog - It is one of my daily must-reads. But there are no MUST-HAVES for a baby (well besides nourishment and diapers and love), it is so frustrating to see bloggers always writing about all these products that new moms feel pressured to have and spend money on when in reality they are not at all MUST-HAVES. And I completely understand sponsored posts as a way to generate income and support the blog but this one was a little too forced in my very humble opinion.
- Wendy Wainwright said...
I've found the gifts I appreciated and used the most - and now give - are really nice blankets ("really nice" doesn't have to mean really expensive). For whatever reason my son was never interested in Sophie the Giraffe. I had the Moby carrier which works well when they are very little (well I'm very little, it worked for longer on my husband). Ditto to basic onesies. I found, after my son was born, that I liked him to be in pajamas at night and day clothes during the day (fine line there). But rather than buy outfits I just bought some very basic pieces and mixed and matched them.
- Wendy Wainwright said...
We use the Phil and Ted's travel crib and I wouldn't put a newborn in it, the mattress isn't flat and our son rolls around on it - he's 16 months now. We used the pack n play in our bedroom for the first five months. We have the "bassinet" one, it's not the one with the bassinet and changing part, just the one that has a sort of shelf to raise the bottom up much higher. We paired it with the 3" dream on me mattress - you can get it on Amazon. Portable crib sheets suck, I wound up using basic carter's sheets and just tucking them in really well.

Baby Aquaphor: the only product that worked on my daughter's diaper rash
Arm & Hammer Simply Saline Baby Nasal Relief: clears baby's nasal passages of any nighttime snot and boogers
an Ergo carrier: the most soothing way to get my baby to sleep (plus it's super comfy and I love wearing it everywhere!)
Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Soothe and Glow Seahorse: one of the only things that would get our baby to sleep at night (she's since outgrown it, but it sure was a lifesaver in the younger stages)
Playtex cups: these cups do not leak! At all! Do yourself a favor and only buy this brand!
Honest Company diapers: cute designs and environmentally friendly
Honest Company wipes: the only wipes I've found that don't stink

The flexibath foldable bathtub by prince lionheart is amazing! When our son outgrew the kitchen sink but was still too tiny for the bathtub this thing was awesome. I highly recommend to anyone when their child is no longer an infant but not yet a toddler. Great product. Sleep sacks were also a life saver with our son. I think we have a million of these things. I hope our soon-to-be daughter enjoys them as much as he did :)

I WISH we had the Baby Bjorn travel crib! We received a pack 'n play despite voicing we didn't want one. I loved my Phil and Ted's nest until my son was about 5 months old. It's a MUST HAVE for anyone who travels a lot with a tiny baby. I wrote about my favorite products here....

We have the Baby Bjorn Travel Crib, too, and we didn't realize when we got it for our first child how useful, versatile and easy it would be. Now, it too, is on my list of must-haves and I like it much more than the pack-n-play (which is basically our diaper changing station for downstairs). I also recommend lots of blankets of various sizes and thickness. They're just nice to throw down while your little one rolls around on the floor or to let them snuggle up to during naps. Onesies are a must, but also the footed sleepers (especially in the winter time). I know it can be a pain with changing diapers, but it's just so nice to have them all bundled up in one piece of clothing and know that they're little toes aren't getting cold and they're little legs are protected when they start crawling around.
I have a question for you, though. My good, good friend is pregnant and has already started her registry. My husband and I have 2 kids, so I wouldn't say we're experts, but we've definitely been there, so we know what works and what doesn't. Do you volunteer information/helpful tidbits to your pregnant friends or do you wait for them to ask? Our approach has been to wait for them to ask. We figure it's their time, it's their first child, so let them figure out what they want/need and if they have questions, they know where to ask. But some things I see or have heard them say, I kind of am like, "that's not going to work." And because I love them, I don't want them to make the same mistakes we did, but at the same time, I don't want to step on toes. What do you think and what has your approach been? Thanks, Joanna! - 9:56 AM

Expensive. I loved getting secondhand stuff to protect the environment. Babies grow out so quickly and you save so much.
- marni zarr said...
love the sticker pads. how perfect for an airplane ride!
- margaux said...
i got a lot of the stuff from the first registry you posted. we splurged for the travel crib too, and we love it!
some things we couldn't have lived without (well, we would've LIVED, but these things made life infinitely easier):
- we, personally, hate onesies. no baby (or parent) enjoys the process of putting it on. we loved the kimono-style or side snap shirts/onesies. gerber and carters makes cheap white ones. planning on buying a heap more for baby #2.
- babylegs. easier than taking pants on and off for diaper changes esp b/c we were doing cloth. also so cute.
- zutano booties. they can be worn with or without socks, and b/c they snap around the ankle, they STAY ON! unlike any baby sock ever.
- a slingling. my child hated chest-facing carriers, but once she hit 5 months, i started carrying her in this in the hip carry. she loved it (still does at 23 months), and it folds up simply and doubles as a nursing cover. b/c it has no buckles you can wear your baby all the way thru security at the the airport. a lifesaver when traveling alone.
- the swaddle strap (an arms-only swaddle). great for warm weather months when a full swaddle is too much. also good for transitioning out of the swaddle (can strap down one arm) http://www.annaandeve.com/swaddle-strap
- marpac dohm white noise machine. our daughter's bedroom was right next to the kitchen for the first year of her life. this helped cancel out some of the clutter.
i wanna hear your 2nd baby must haves! what did you invest in for anton? - 11:09 AM
- Larissa said...
I used your list from Toby when figuring out what to get for our first! So nice to see an update...and especially what it is nice for Toby to have while you nurse the baby. I always wonder how on earth people manage to nurse a newborn with an active toddler/preschooler around!
My slightly unorthodox must have is a a huge exercise ball, like the kind you use in Pilates or yoga. It was so great to sit on in my 3rd trimester and great for early labor. But I really fell in love with it once I had a newborn. We would hold our newborn in our arms and bounce to soothe him. It worked like a charm! Now he likes to play with it. I also loved having the Baby K'Tan, Aden & Anais swaddles, Roobeez, and the bouncer. - 12:05 PM
- Aly said...
my 5 would be:
- the nosefreida snotsucker! those bulbs they give you at the hospital barely did anything - and when your baby gets its first stuffy nose or cold, you will be so happy you have it!!
- the baby k'tan. more comfortable for mama and baby than the ergo (which requires a bulky infant insert when the baby is small) and soooo much more user-friendly than the moby! it takes less than ten seconds to get it on and pop your baby in (whereas the moby always seems to take an eternity).
- activity mat! we have a skip hop one. easy to disassemble for travel, easy to drag into the kitchen or bathroom so you can drink coffee or bathe with two hands!
- halo sleepsacks for crazy people like us who didn't swaddle, or for that period of time when you're supposed to phase your baby out of swaddles. it's a wearable blanket - and it does have a velcro arm swaddle attached if you choose to use it.
- target nursing bras (surprisingly chic!) and nursing pads (no one told me that when you nurse on one side, you soak the other side!)
- babygap onesies. we bought the 'first favorites' onesies and pants - so comfy and classic, and they wash well. and trumpette socks - the only ones that stay on (and they are ridiculously cute).
- Anniefrancesmiranda said...
There's a new website. Cricket Circle. That does must-have registry items too!

- Mina said...
We also thought long and hard before we splurged on the Baby Björn Travel Cot but my husband always names it as the best baby item we ever bought!
For me, I think our baby nest and our angelcare monitor with the breathing alarm have been must-haves. I just couldn't relax and sleep properly until we had the movement sensor in place.
I also love white onesies - but in the beginning, our kids have lived in Gerber side-snap shirts. With a Halo sleep sack swaddle on top - midnight diaper changes were a breeze.

I am newly pregnant and registering is so overwhelming to me! Thanks for these ideas!
- RG said...
Honest wipes are the BEST! I have tried probably ten different kinds and they are the right level of moisture, have the best texture and are non-toxic so I can wipe his face, hands, whatever and I feel ok about it. Also my Beco Gemini is the carrier I swear by. Right now we are getting a lot out of V-Tech battery powered toys which light up, talk and are super duper annoying (as well as ugly as sin), but entertain our 7 month old for minutes at a time (which is a lot!). I could go on, but that's what comes to mind right away.
I second the desire to hear Anton's birth story! Also, you were struggling with names and then pulled out a dark horse - how'd you decide??? - 8:58 PM
- Mia said...
A wrap or sling for carrying around a newborn is wonderful, your partner can wear it while you relax or you can put the babe in it and get a little work done around the house. We also loved the lessons in Happiest Baby on the Block, and will be re-reading it to prepare for our second, arriving in April!
- tuesdayswithbea said...
I have everything on your list and totally agree...except for #5. I hated my pillow like that! Didn't you find it awkward to get the piece behind your back if you had the baby in your arms and were trying to sit down. When i was totally sleep deprived and trying to nurse right after bea was born, i probably cried at least once because of that pillow!
- meredith said...
i second the baby bjorn travel crib! it's awesome. also the graco sound machine (we've tried a bunch), primo infant tub (bigger than most so it lasts for longer), and a boppy newborn lounger. those loungers were my lifesavers in the first 6 months with my twins!
- Rosie said...
Definitely agree with the brest friend, but would add those swaddles with velcro (foolproof!); white noise machine (like the sleep sheep) and Cake Lingerie nursing bras and tanks (nice fabric is SO important!) to this list.

Our number one item is the Keekaroo Peanut Changer. When J has an open air accident, all we have to do is wipe it down, no extra laundry!
Rounding out our top 5 are the miracle blanket, Skip Hop portable changing station, Aden and Anais burpy bibs, and the Wubbanub. - 4:09 PM
- Rk Toronto said...
Baby carrier - the Bjorn was great for the nb days - no fiddling with an insert. Now we use an ergo, which I like for the waist support. If I had to do it again I'd get a Beco though - easier to put on by yourself, good fr the very beginning, and baby can face forward but w comfort of ergo. I love the removable drool covers for the straps too!
Also white noise app for iPhone. Magic! Just turn on airplane mode near baby.
My breast friend pillow saved me the first couple weeks breastfeeding (the secret is to put it on before picking up baby - I hardly took it off those first few weeks!).
Video monitor - I don't love the model I have but being able to check on baby without disturbing him is amazing.
A&a swaddle blankets, for everything but. Wash well, look gorgeous, dry quickly, sunshade/blanket/burp cloth/nursing cover. So worth it. I didn't find them great for actual swaddling - we used the swaddle me Velcro kind.
Phew, only 5 items is hard! Other things we loved - activity gym and diaper changing clutch by skip hop - still use both every day at 7 months. Black and white images above the change table. First thing he was ever interested in. I could go on ;) - 7:32 AM

A moby is great to keep your baby close but also hands free! We love wubbanub pacifiers, velcro swaddles, and an activity mat. Cloth diapers have also been awesome for us. Thanks for this amazing giveaway!

Yves Saint Laurent At-A-Glance
Strengths: Every sunscreen includes avobenzone for sufficient UVA protection; some moisturizers with elegant textures; good makeup removers and toners; Radiant Touch is a favorite for good reason; intriguing blushes; two fantastic mascaras; very good liquid highlighter; innovative gloss/stain lip products.
Weaknesses: Expensive; no AHA or BHA products; no products to manage acne or combat skin discolorations; mostly mundane moisturizers and serums; pervasive use of jar packaging; antiwrinkle claims that epitomize ridiculous, yet cost hundreds of dollars; mostly average foundations; eyeshadow quads; mostly average lipstick and gloss options.
We have never reviewed an expensive cosmetics line with the intent of criticizing it based on the price tags alone. Our standard for reviewing all cosmetics remains the same whether the prices are rock bottom or stratospheric. What cannot be denied is that there are many consumers who just refuse to give up the notion that, in terms of cosmetics, expensive means better. If you're one of those consumers you may have been curious about our take on Yves Saint Laurent's makeup, which by far outshines their skin care.
In the past, as we surveyed the other French-themed lines at the department store (including Lancome, Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain), YSL almost always came in last, barely stepping up to the plate to compete in any category. Lately, we've been pleasantly surprised to find several impressive products, along with some needed improvements for many of their previously lackluster options (whose price-to-performance ratio was depressingly low). YSL still isn't the French line to set your sights on and fill your makeup bag with, but there are enough positives to make a trip to their counter worthwhile, assuming that your budget extends far enough to comfortably afford these items. (Even the best products from this line have less-expensive counterparts, but if you're label-conscious, you should know what to focus on.)
What's not so great is the lack of sufficient UVA protection in products with sunscreen, or SPF ratings that are too low given what we know about the need for a sufficient level of daily sun protection. Adding sunscreen to many of the foundations and lip products was a smart move, but doing so without getting the basics right doesn't get a passing grade. Most of the mascaras are surprisingly average also, yet on the other hand the foundation and powder shade selections have improved considerably. It's this off-kilter blend of outstanding and boring products coupled with steep prices all around that earn this line an "approach with caution" statement. However, careful shopping from YSL will undoubtedly net you some wonderful products you'll be pleased with, at least until the credit card bill comes due!
When it comes to skin care, Yves Saint Laurent relies heavily on its fashion heritage to convince consumers to give these products more than a passing glance. Based on the formulas and outlandish prices, we see no reason for anyone to admire, let alone purchase, most of the skin-care products this brand sells. The claims are nothing short of ridiculous, especially for any YSL product designed to minimize wrinkles or stop sagging. It's good that all of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection, but the cost means you'll be replacing them quickly (if you're being diligent about liberal application, as you should be) and, of course, all of them contain wafting fragrance. The moisturizers are much less impressive, but carry some of the most too-good-to-be-true claims imaginable. None of what they're said to do in terms of wrinkles, skin regeneration, firming, and sculpting skin is the least bit reliable, though many of the moisturizers have luxurious textures.
What's missing is a focused approach to provide skin with what it really needs to thrive and remain healthy. Some of the basics are covered, but antioxidants are seemingly an afterthought, water-binding agents and skin-identical substances are mostly lacking, and once again fragrance takes precedence over advanced ingredients with substantiated research to support their use. If your skin-care routine must involve a designer brand, you'd be better off shopping Chanel and only considering YSL for the makeup products they have that, cost notwithstanding, are worthy of the attention they get in, where else, fashion magazines.

Benjamin Gilman on Government ReformFormer Republican Representative (NY-20) |
To amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to increase the penalties imposed for making or accepting contributions in the name of another and to prohibit foreign nationals from making any campaign-related disbursements.
[As part of the Contract with America, within 100 days we pledge to bring to the House Floor the following bills]:
The Common Sense Legal Reforms Act:
�Loser pays� laws, reasonable limits on punitive damages, and reform of product liability laws to stem the endless tide of litigation.
The Citizen Legislature Act:A first-ever vote on term limits to replace career politicians with citizen legislators.
This year�s election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public�s money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family.
Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act �with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.� To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves.
The federal government must reduce its size and scope, and cede certain federally operated policies and services to the states and private sector that are better equipped to handle them. One way to accomplish this would be to limit growth of government spending at or even below the inflation rate. Long-term economic growth is dependent upon sustained federal discipline. We believe this is the time to carefully assess both our domestic discretionary and our military commitments. In both areas, we face a potential fiscal imbalance between our program commitments and our available resources. Perhaps neither the Congress nor the American people fully appreciate the impact of budget decisions in these areas. We owe it to the nation and its future to undertake an honest dialogue regarding the implications of these decisions on the state, local and private sectors.

Sox opt for Lackey as they seek home field
Chatwood, Rockies stand in way of motivated AL leaders
The American League-best Red Sox begin their final road trip of the season in Denver on Tuesday, as the Rockies welcome Boston to Coors Field.
Boston, which has already won the AL East, now looks to clinch home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs. The Red Sox lead the A's and Tigers for the top spot in the Junior Circuit.
An early clinch brings a week's worth of preparing for the postseason, and the Red Sox are going to take advantage. They'll likely to continue to rest players and already have begun shuffling their rotation, as right-hander John Lackey gets the ball Tuesday against Colorado's Tyler Chatwood instead of originally scheduled Jake Peavy.
Lackey twirled a two-hit gem his last time out against the Orioles, losing his no-hit bid in the seventh.
"I felt pretty good," Lackey said. "I was locating my fastball, had a little bit on it. My arm felt good. I threw a bunch of them tonight. Salty [catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia] called a great game as usual back there. It was fun."
One of the players Lackey likely will face is Rockies utility infielder Jonathan Herrera, who brings a six-game hitting streak into the game. Herrera has been solid all season despite not getting consistent playing time.
"Sometimes it's a bit of a curse, being so good at what he does," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Johnny's one of those guys that has gotten so good at being that utility guy that can give you plus defense at any infield position that it's a very valuable piece, especially on a National League club."
Red Sox: Ellsbury should be ready for playoffs
The optimistic guess for Jacoby Ellsbury's return from a compression fracture in his right foot is Wednesday's series finale but, at the very least, he expects to be full-go for the playoffs.
"The goal is to [test my foot] before I play, so that will be the goal, to try to get all the stuff out of the way before I actually get in the game," Ellsbury said. "The doctors are very pleased; definitely ahead of schedule. The team, myself, feel very good about it."
• The Red Sox have won 26 more games than last year, marking the club's largest increase in wins -- outside of strike-shortened seasons in 1981 and 1994 -- since 1946.
Rockies: Fowler still a go
Dexter Fowler re-aggravated his left knee on Saturday that was initially injured on Aug. 26. He's mostly been limited to pinch-hitting since the injury, and Weiss is still thinking about shutting down Fowler for the year.
"It's possible," Weiss said of ending Fowler's season early. "The fact that he re-aggravated that injury, I think it's not out of the question. It's also not out of the question that he could make an appearance again, but we're coming to the end here, so it's possible that he may not."
Worth noting
• Boston's Jarrod Saltalamacchia has a seven-game hitting streak.

Sweet. We're getting down there...
According to mesa/docs/GL3.txt, we've still got:
GLSL 1.30 (GL_EXT_gpu_shader4, etc.) started
Non-normalized Integer texture/framebuffer formats ~50% done
sRGB framebuffer format (GL_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB) core GL done (i965, gallium), GLX todo
glVertexAttribI commands DONE (but converts int
values to floats)
Depth format cube textures not started
GLX_ARB_create_context (GLX 1.4 is required) not started
I'm pretty sure that this list is out of date, as I thought that GLSL 1.3 was completed, and obviously the GLX_ARB_create_context part has been started (and possibly completed... I haven't tested it myself).
The only thing that concerns me is that I'll have to wait for r600g to catch up to Intel as far as driver-specific support (there's a few parts that have only been implemented for specific chip families according to this document). Even if only Intel is at GL 3.0, that's a huge step forward for Mesa, and should allow the gallium drivers to catch up in a shorter amount of time.

In 1966, the Boone County Health Council, which was introduced in 1937, was dissolved and the Boone County Health Department (BCHD) was established by resolution. In 1985, Boone county voters passed a referendum allowing the county to levy a tax in support of public health. The department has since met the criteria necessary to be designated as a certified public health department by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Boone County Board of Health
A volunteer, 11-member Board of Health is appointed by the county board chairman and approved by the county board. Illinois state statute requires the board include: two physicians, a dentist, a county board representative, and interested community members. These volunteers serve 3-year terms and represent the community at large. The Board of Health governs health department operational issues such as the annual budget and the development of policy and procedures.

San Franciso 49ers thread
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
Chiefs QB Matt Cassel has been awful due to bad play calling and a horrible offensive line. Fitzpatrick is better than Alex Smith, but barely better. It's really close. It's basically the same thing, so same result. Cardinals have worst offensive line in the history of football, if they want a QB they should fix that first. Browns and Jaguars are rebuilding, I hope they don't get Smith and waste him for the next couple of years as a stopgap. Sanchez does suck. Alex Smith to the Jets makes sense. That should probably happen.
It does make sense the most...the Jets deal. But, that's the exact reason why it is unlikely...Jets and logic lately just don't go together. lol Maybe now after some changes in their FO they start making smart moves.
Oh, and Fitz never had success Smith did, nor did he ever showed that he can play smart as Alex does. Alex is much better at reading defenses, I think people take that for granted, hence he throws few INTs. Fitz is poor man's Alex, in my opinion, he plays that short to middle ranged passes, but he is not as precise, and throws a lot of picks. So, I would say that Alex would be a big improvement. |
How about an Alex Smith for Sanchez trade..
Unfair on paper for the fortyniners.. but maybe Jim Harbaugh might be able to work with this trojan and reform him into the viable backup he was always destined to be. Couldn't see the Niners doing this deal other then doing right by Alex Smith and sending him to a team where they know he would get an opportunity! |
Well, the problem with that is salary. I think that Sanchez is supposed to get around 8 millions next season, which is even more than Alex's 7.5 or something close to that. And I think that salary was one of the reasons that made them put Kaep in. They will need salary room for FAs next season.
W-L he hasn't, but in terms of points they are exactly the same. Fitzpatrick is underrated because of a really bad defense. I mean, Smith didn't throw an interception for a while and he is good at not turning it over. That's fair, he is better in that. I feel though, that has a lot to do with the product of the system. Tons of runs, tons of short passes. It's part of the reason why Niners led the league in field goals last year. I'd give Smith a slight edge over Fitz, but I am not sure how much of that is because of their systems. I think Bills would still be bad/mediocre with Smith either way. I bet Jets could get a wild card with Smith though. Their defense will be better next year with Revis and not only that but Sanchez was the worst rated QB this year. Improve the line a bit, improve the running game, and there is no way Smith is not a significant upgrade over Sanchez. |
Thank God Justin Smith is gonna play this weekend. Undoubtedly the biggest reason why we needed that bye week. It's good that Ricky Jean got the extended pt, because he really started looking better (as did our pass rush) in the 2nd half of the cards game, but they just can't protect the qb anyways.
How you feeling about Kaepernick Guybrush?
bet you feel like a clutz when Pawno proved you wrong. ALEX WHO??? |
Yeah, it's really bad when you prove someone wrong. lol
Still, he played a good game, I just want him to be consistent. We, so far this season, win 2 games, and then get blown out in the third. Now that third is coming again. And I don't see the point with Alex. If you were trying to prove me that Kaep is better than him, and use this game to make your point, and in the same post you bash the guy who did the same thing last year...it kind of loses credibility. |
I just wanna say that I'm glad Kaep proved me wrong by improving rapidly his mistakes in the game. That was my bigest concern at the beginning, now he is playing it safe, and he really didn't throw deep balls this game, he looked a lot like Alex. Which is not a bad thing in my book.
The only thing left that is bothering me is that clock management. We always waste timeouts, or get few delay of the game calls. |
I think yesterday was the first time we really saw Kaep win us a game that, at least imo, Alex wouldn't have been able to win. The Falcons really brought it on D. Yes, we needed ATL to do their signature choke job to a degree, but this was a great job by the players and coaching staff to stay calm, withstand their early run and pull this one out.
Alex to the chiefs for the 34th overall and a conditional mid-rounder next season. This is more than I could have asked for. A friend said, "Patriots mode engaged." Yeah but with one huge difference - new rookie wage scale. That makes at least 15 picks thus far in this upcoming draft. Look for Harbalke to deal some of those away for future picks and perhaps move up this year.
DL and CB should be areas of focus, with S being a distant 3rd if we feel like saving some money and not retaining Goldson. Keep in mind that or 1st pick last year only played in one game, maybe the dude is a bust, but I have a feeling he was considered a project with a lot of upside from the moment Trent Balke put his name in that envelop. I can't wait to see what we do next - I love what our front office is doing. EDIT: the mid-round pick is a 3rd, potentially a 2nd And ESPN reported that it is a total of 4 picks... |
Yeah, I agree that he consistently improved and it wasn't all Harbaugh. I think a lot of it has to do with the constant influx of top talent. Gore, Veron Davis, great Oline. Chiefs system is pass first and they have no offensive line. I don't Smith is the kind of QB that can play in a pass first offense with a bad offensive line. But I could be wrong and he really has made great strides.
Yeah, but even the elite QBs need talent around them to succeed. Those players Alex had in the beginning are long gone from the NFL.
And I think you are mistaken about Chiefs' OL. They were good in rushing, and even their pass pro isn't bad, they just had two QBs who played awful, and were TO machines. I agree, though, with you. It's a work in progress. It can turn out to be great for both Smith and Chiefs. Or, it can all end after just one year, or even before that (though, that is not likely). |
I'm biased, but I just like the way that the 9ers are conducting themselves more than the Hawks - with patience; waiting to get their guy at the right price. 9ers are the Patriots of the West, they understand that draft picks are worth more than the players you can potentially draft because it is the currency in the NFL. I bet Seattle is wishing that they exercised a more patience now that Dumervil is available after way over paying Avril... Patience young John Schneider, watch and learn from the genius of Trent Balke. |
