The Road - and other rambles

Myles recommended that I read "The Road" by Carmac McCarthy. Holey Moley - if you haven't read this book yet - you should. Especially if you are a parent. It was one of the best books I've ever read. I must admit that I have a thing about really sad books (my all time favorite book to date is Angela's Ashes), but sad books are also about the struggle of life. Real life. I like to read about this, and the human spirit. It's amazing how a book can really take you to another world. There were several nights that I would come downstairs after reading with tears pouring down my face. Maybe it's the hormones...but the book is pretty amazing. It's a really quick read too - so go get it and read it, before the movie comes out.

I also wanted to update about Adelaide because she is so funny. Her favorite food now is broccoli. Have you ever heard of a baby that loved broccoli? She eats that and sweet potatoes every day. We also do lots of pears and prunes, although she isn't as keen on the prunes as she used to be. She poops every day lately, so I'm feeling good about her diet. I have also re-introduced the goat yogurt. She seems to really love it with avocado, so I'm going to keep giving it to her.

She is growing so fast - and so is her hair =) She can scoot/crawl pretty fast these days. She has been easy to put down for naps, I simply lay her down in the swing bed with the binkie and turn on the fan. She still sleeps great at night and seems to prefer cuddling with Myles to me. I don't get jealous because they are so cute cuddled up together...I wish I had a picture of it. We are having a great summer and had a crazy heat wave, but now it's cool and Porltand-ie again. We've been back to the zoo a few times, and are preparing for our trip to Tahoe next weekend.
