February 25, 2012 - Sophie ran away

OK, so Sophie the Giraffe didn't run away, but my guess is that she took a fatal fall out of the stroller somewhere in the mall.  I didn't notice that she was missing until I got to the car, and all three kids were unloaded and in the van.  I had to make a split second decision to either load up the stroller and retrace my steps through the mall, or to abandon Sophie and hope that she finds a new home and anothe baby that loves her as much as ours did.

I opted for the second choice, and feel a little bad about it.  The next stop on our journey today was to Toys 'r Us to spend the kids Christmas/Birthday money and hunt for formula, so I decided I would pick up a replacement Sophie.  I did, and fortunately the Baby didn't notice the difference.  I guess he doesn't really remember tastes, because he put Sophie II in his mouth and chewed away!
The formula issue is becoming annoying.  We have been using Similac Advance with Baby, mostly because it was the first one we tried, we received a sample from the company and he didn't have any adverse reactions so we kept using it.  Now since Similac is re-branding their formula and changing the look of the packaging, all the stores are out of stock.  I hunted through the mall, and have checked a few other stores over the week and couldn't find it anywhere.  When I got home today, I checked the Similac website, and they don't have an email contact for their customer service department, so I will have to call them on Monday and complain.  Today I purchased a different variety of Similac, and I just hope that Baby likes it!
