First babysitter!

First big news! I'm blogging from my new computer. It is SUPER awesome and fast and I love it. My old computer was also awesome, but it had reached the end of it's life. Aaron built it for me over 5 years ago - and it had started dying a slow, painful death. Now, I have a new, speedy wonderful machine! I've been upgraded to Vista though. We'll see how well I adapt to change.

Yesterday, Suzanne came over for what I've come to call a 'Hulk viewing'. People pretend they are coming to hang out with Aaron and I - but it's a big lie. They just want to hold the baby. I totally understand! Aaron convinced me to go with him to get lunch - and I left the house without Hulk for the first time. Ever. Well, I did go get a massage last week, but he was with Aaron. Suzanne was the first non-family member to be alone with him....but then, Suzanne is pretty much family, so I guess it really wasn't a big deal. Anyway - here is the documentation.


We first got home, Hulk was a bit upset. Suzanne was left with the task of feeding him a bottle, and Hulk had tricked her into thinking he was done after 2 ozs (he usually eats 5 or 6).

Suzanne is a pretty 'baby smart' gal - she told me - "He ate, we changed his diaper.... but he won't stop crying!'. Then she showed me the bottle, and I said - oh - you have to wake him up to eat more!

After he really ate what he needed:

And after a few hours of watching him sleep, even Suzanne admitted that sometimes just staring at a cute baby isn't enough entertainment, and she pulled out her knitting:

It was a fun day for both of us - she got to see her godson, and I got some time to just sit and relax and talk to my friend.
