I know, I know, I need to post more pictures... but this is my blog and for the purposes for which I update this blog, I have to post two non-pic related items.

1. First, ohmygoodness. I had this scary realization: my daughter is spoiled. Yes, she's a mama's girl and that I'm not so worried about. But the fact that when she cries, 8 out of ten times I pick her right up is an indicator. And the fact that 6 out of ten times I or Marc rocks or cuddles her to sleep is another indicator. Finally, I am still feeding her through the night when she wakes up. Now, usually this is only once, sometimes twice, between the hours of 11pm and ~6:30 am, but I do it. And she's almost 6 months. Spoiled. I should say so. And I know I can only blame myself. Don't worry. Now that I've fully come to this realization, I plan on finding ways to fix it. But give me time. I'm a sucker first-time mom.

2. We had friends over for dinner last night. Three kiddies including Madeleine. The normal chaos of a late night and trying to eat. And we loved it. But get this: afterwards, Marc says, "Man! How do parents ever eat with kids? No wonder my parents always invited people over to our house for dinner and no one ivites them." Ya think? 7 kids. 5 boys. I just raised my eyebrows and smiled: Yes, honey. That is why your parents ivite people chez-eux and not the other way around. And the eating thing? How would Marc know? I'm usually holding her during meals! He'll attempt for like 2 minutes and then hold Madeleine out and say, "Oh look! She wants you!" Maybe he's the one who is spoiled...

P.S. Further pondering leads me to this thought... maybe all three of us are spoiled?? Oy.
