tuesday afternoon (great moody blues song!)

Well I am glad to say I got out of the house today! This nasty cold weather can't keep me cooped up. Madden and I went and had lunch at Moe's with Thomas and then ran to the grocery store. Madden has been so much better in the stores lately. He is looking around and is just all around content. I am glad we are at this stage in his development that he can somewhat entertain himself when we are out. The age of seven months is turning out to be quite intersting. I find myself enjoying him so much more and at the same time I do not think I have ever been more frustrated with him. I do not know if it is just me but I find myself dreading feeding time. It can either go really smooth or really awful. He is so smart and I am sooooo thankful for that but it is almost as if he is trying to test my patience. God bless him, he is hell bent on not budging on things and when he has his mind made up on something, you are not going to change his mind. I just watched a show on a child who had a disease called moya moya. The disease makes the arteries to the brin virtually unusable, causing the baby to have strokes and seizures. It literally is almost like a death sentence for the child. I am very thankful for those types of shows because they really make me thankful for having a healthy, happy child. In the end that is all that really matters.
