we have moved back to xanga. at least for now.

first bite!

yesterday elijah turned 6 months! in honor of that we decided to start him on rice cereal at bed time. im beginning to have a hard time keeping up with his big self. well like many things, it went nothing like we expected. apparently i hadnt thought out the fact that he would not know how to eat from a spoon. poor boy was so confused! and i wanted to use his pretty engraved baby dishes when i prolly wouldve been better off using his plastic baby spoon. the recommended ratio made it so milky that it was still mostly liquid. it was pretty funny.
are you spozed to feed this to them with a bottle?
he still woke up at the same time hungry. he must not have gotten very much at all. better luck next time to us.

i have a confession:
i have a xanga.

there was an enormous amount of birds migrating together. it was quite cool.

oregons very pretty.






seeing fireworks for the first time, buggy's not too sure how he feels about it:

i dont know why but i like this picture:

buggy and his uncles:


my husbands so cute i can hardly stand it:





too cool for school:



love his little man boobs:

i ate half a tin of pringles for breakfast.
my single dread is taking over leaving my hair no option other than up in a bun and i am soooo sick of it.
last night was the first time i started to lose my patience with elijah. he would not stop pinching and scratching my face and he refused to sleep. he cried in his bed and wouldnt sleep in ours. mike took him for a little while which i really appreciated. ive never really been frustrated with him. i dont know how single parents do it. mike is such a good partner.
hanukkah begins next week, im really excited about brisket and latkes!
my little bug has a scratch on his face cos his nails were too long. another thing to feel guilty about.
pictures from our trip will be here soon.

seattle here we come!!
(5 months old today. )

i am very blessed to have as much help as i do, especially from my husband. i have it pretty easy in the grand scheme of things and compared to most moms. that being said
i am longing to hear someone say
"let me take the baby for a couple of hours, you go do something on your own"
