Happy Honda Days!

We are now the proud owners of a brand new Honda Odyssey- that's right I drive a minivan.

Food

Our doctor told us to wait until Adam was 6 months to introduce solids, but 5 1/2 months is close enough for me. I gave him some oatmeal on Wednesday night. He probably only a couple spoon fulls, but it's a start.



I was hoping filling his belly would allow us all to get a full night of sleep, but around 2:30 he woke us up. I tried to feed the little guy, but he wasn't hungry, so I rolled him over onto his belly and rubbed his back. He let out the loudest burp and then when back to sleep. So I guess I shouldn't feed him solids so close to bed time.

Seriosly What

Today was server downtime at 11:30. Pre-Adam I would have gone to lunch during this time, but I've been brown bagging my lunch and working while eating. So what was an engineer to do without her computer for an hour? Go visit my little munchkin at daycare. It was perfect timing, he had just woken up from a nap and hadn't eaten yet. I also got to meet most of his teachers, which was really nice. While I was there I found out that one of the other babies in the infant room has started using the toilet at home. Are you kidding me, the four month old is peeing and pooping on a toilet!?!?! I said her mom needs to write a book so I can follow her technique, but really I'd rather focus on getting Adam to sleep through the night again (which a five month old should be capable of).

Brockway Alarm

I know for the most part this blog is about my baby Adam, but Brockway will always be my baby too. Dave and I have been a little sleep deprived lately. We've been staying up to late at night and then Adam has been waking up in the middle of the night and to add insult to injury we didn't get to sleep in at all this weekend. So this morning I slept right through my alarm and Dave's alarm, but good old Brockway started barking around 6 AM to wake us up. Dave was ready to go yell at her, but then we noticed the time. She's such a good dog!

Shiny New Computer

Finally- one year after we decided it was time to buy a laptop- we did. I have no idea how to use Windows 7, but I'll figure it out soon, hopefully. My husband is watching football, my child is alternating between raspberry noises with his mouth and real farts and the dog is sleeping on the couch. I no longer have to choose between spending time with the family or the computer- Priceless!
