Happy May Day everyone.
Justin and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary yesterday by going out to dinner with the baby. We really need to find an evening babysitter now that Madeline is 2 weeks shy of her 6 month birthday. She got her first tooth last week and started rice cereal once a day. She gets a little better at that everyday--mostly it rolls around in her mouth and slides out.

I start doing some really part-time work this month--today actually but the babysitter we hired for 15 day hours a week is sick. I'm dying to feel like something other than a milk machine. I hope Maddy takes to the cereal soon and gradually works her way to veggies etc. I've been glad to give her the best advantage by breastfeeding exclusively but it is wearing on me. I can't wait until her contentment isn't my sole responsibility. When she is no longer breastfeeding and gets cranky I can walk away and let Justin deal with it like everyone has done to me for the last 6 months--always assuming she must be hungry so get her on the boob!

My parents visited this last weekend and Justin's parents will be arriving Thursday from Kansas. I'm always amazed at the things these people (BOTH of our parents) say and do with regards to baby and parenting.

It's 3:30 pm and time to grab cranky babe and go check the mail. What an exciting life we lead!
