Oh this just in from the baby food front...Kaia had bananas mixed with rice cereal for the first time this week and it seemed to be a success. She was happy didn’t make a face or gag. So far I am certain that she loves avocado and likes bananas all of the time and eats yams and carrots but likes them only some of the time.
   I have been watching the tv show Mad Men. We recently got Netflix (which I love) and I am able to watch it on my own schedule. Anyways that’s beside the point. The show is set in the 60’s and it showcases business men and families in this era. I have been totally offended at the women in this show. They are made to serve their husbands every need ensuring that dinner is on the table every single night and that the kids are prim and proper. They are always made up perfectly bright red shiny lips big hair and fancy out fits. Oh how this is so the opposite from my life. There is not dinner on the table every single night. Erick cooks 60% of the time. I am often still in my sweats at 5pm. And Erick definitely helps out with Kaia from feeding to diaper changing to getting down on the floor and playing with her. The men on this show drink too much cheat on their wives and sometimes don’t even come home every night. It was no wonder a lot of the women were put on anti depressents in that era. The marriages have such a power over relationship and not a shared unified team. I don’t know I am really happy that I don’t have to live that life style. I am happy that Kaia does not have to grow up with a Dad that is never around. I don’t know what made me want to write about it. Maybe because I am really into watching the show right now and it’s like a book when you read a good book you always have it on your mind. I would like to live a week in that era just to see what it was like. I don’t think that I would do it as a desperate house wife. I would be a free loving hippy.
Another thing that has really affected me about the show is that one of the women had a baby out of wed lock with a co-worker and she didn’t want to keep the baby she kept it a secret. Her family is raising the baby. But every time they show the baby and her together she rejects him. She won’t hold him won’t look at him....man I just want to scream...hold and love your baby lady. Sigh.
 Not much exiting goes on in my life Netflix and baby food.
