I'm learning to eat with a spoon.
It's not as easy as you would think!!!

Hello everyone, today was the first day in a long time that Hunter got to play and eat and nap all at the right times, and boy was it good for him, and me too! Babies sure do need their naps, and I've come to realize I need that downtime to get things done, and a little rest too. So that is what we did today, we took it easy! I made Hunter and I a pancake breakfast (I had never made them before) they must have been OK because Hunter loved them, especially with a little syrup :) So, I had a cooking first and Hunter had a first in picking his nose :( a few times he has accidentally gotten his finger stuck in a nostril but now he is deliberately sticking his finger in there, which we have to remind ourselves not to laugh because although it kind of looks cute now, this is the precise behavior that is not cute. It is surprising to me that babies are smart at such a young age, he knows that when we laugh he should do it again, and when you say No that he too should do that again, little sponges!

Sorry, I forgot yesterday's tip for those of you enjoying "Going Green" today is about Junk Mail :( The average person gets 1.5 personal letters a week, compared to 10.8 pieces of junk mail. That's 4.5 million tons of junk mail produced every year! 100 million trees are ground up every year to produce junk mail. Lists of names are compiled and sold, from catalogs, charities, credit card companies, etc. Your name is typically worth 3 to 20 cents each time it is sold. Crazy, not only is it bad for the environment, it is also irritating and can add up to a lot of clutter :) So, to reduce some of your junk mail try DIRECTMAIL.COM it only takes a few minutes, I did it in both of our names, and to cut down on credit card offers (if you want to :) try calling 1-888-5-OPTOUT, your daily food for thought!
