Allyson & her Toes


Allyson turns 4 months this week. It took her a while to find those toes.

Milk, It does a body good


When a baby only eats 1 food (milk) it is normal , convenient, and healthy. There are no fights when she is hungry. I may need to remind her that the unpleasant feeling she has is cured by eating, so that the tears cease. She never tells me that she doesn't feel like milk today. She never starts to eat and says that it tastes gross or looks icky. Babies are wonderful.

When a child or adult eats only 1 food it is not normal, convenient, or healthy. I pray that Allyson does not end up being like I was as a child and would only drink chocolate milk and eat melted cheese on bread.

I just finished reading Peter and the Starcatchers co authored by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It was a fun book. I wanted to read it because I have always loved the columns that Dave Barry has written. The book is about "Peter Pan" prior to the Disney movie. About how Peter became a flying, never ageing boy who lives in Never Land.

It is quite a feat for me to read a book anymore. I have to have a book that I can hold easily or will lay flat, so that I can read while holding or feeding Allyson. Allyson sleeps through the night nearly every night, so I'm not up as much to feed her, which used to be a great time to read. Allyson is a big fan of being held all day and not a big fan of the baby swing. I am not really complaining though, I love being a mom and taking care of my little girl.

We are looking forward to seeing Uncle Lin and Uncle Tamale this weekend. Allyson loves her cousins, and will be sad to not get to meet the Wilde kids.
