Today Claire is 7 months old! (That's another post I'll try to do later.)
Yesterday, I turned 396 months. You can do the math if you really want to know! It was a nice day. I got to eat cake with Lydia, and Jim took me on a great date. We ate at a restaurant that used breakable plates and didn't seem to have any toy prizes to encourage or distract us with our meal. I also had a chance to eat lunch with my mother. So, all in all, it wasn't a great day for the diet, but it was a fabulous break from the routine!
I tried to reflect on what if anything I have learned over the last year.
* A baby eating pureed blueberries and blowing raspberries is a bad combination.
* High pitched TV characters like Elmo and Curious George seem to have a magical effect on children.
*No matter how long you give it, your crock pot meal will only be yummy if you plug in the crock pot.
*Each time you reproduce yourself, you lose a little bit more of your original self!
My life may not be super glamorous and graceful, but it's pretty blessed and I'm glad to live it!

as someone who attended your 1st birthday party back in the 1970's (I have a pic to prove it in Easley), I couldn't agree more with what you wrote about what you have learned as a mom. Happy 7 months to Claire and happy 396 to one of my long time friends.
You are not the only 30-something year old who has forgotten to plug in the crock pot (prob more than once).
OK, so it's been a long time since I've checked blogs...but you are hilarious! Always have me laughing.
