our country's birthday

I love the 4th of July...it is so summer to me. I don't feel like it is really summer till the 4th and also the street fair. This summer is not really an exception. I got my 1st mosquito bite yesterday on the way out to my car from Target...grrr! I have to work all the major spring/summer holidays this year (easter, memorial day, 4th of july, and labor day). It is a bummer...but hey what do you do? So maybe this, like last year will never feel like summer to me. Last year at this time I was starting to feel sooooo sick from being pregnant that I never went outside all summer except to water my flowers and even that was challenging. I am really looking forward to going to fireworks with Jonah and experiencing that for the 1st time...I am sure he will probably sleep through them. (either that or totally melt down ha!) but you don't know till you try.

We started oatmeal cereal a couple weeks ago after rice cereal was a total flop and what do you know, Jonah loves it! We are actually going to start real baby food soon. I went and picked some up yesterday after work...they have lots of organic choices, so I was really happy to see that. I think it is important to eat as organic as you are able to...and with baby food it is pretty simple.

Happy Birthday America!!!
