Milkmaid

Sam switched to milk because he will be having a first birthday on Thursday. I thought this whole milk thing was going to be great, but in reality I've already been to the store enough times to justify buying a cow.

Anyone want to volunteer to milk while we go on vacation?

One half gallon lasted us 2 1/2 days... and it is not like milk is something you can stock up on or buy in bulk. I checked with the Internet, and it seems we will not be slowing down on this milk thing too soon.

The kid needs something like 24 -31 ounces A DAY, which really only works out to be three, eight-ounce bottles. Of course... this is not counting the juice and water cocktails he's supposed to be drinking too.

I ask:

1. Can someone not bring back the milkmaid?

2. When calculating total fluids consumed, does bathwater count?

What does a milkmaid do anyway? And why did we need ten of em for a Christmas gift? Seems like overkill to me. Congrats on having the baby, btw, I don't think I ever told ya.

I sympathize. My bunch goes through milk like crazy. I usually buy 3 gallons at a time.

WOW! Before Mike moved in and started eating cereal almost everyday for breakfast, I rarely had milk in the house because it always went bad. I like milk, but hate "wasting" calories on a glass of it when there are tastier treats out there. I finally started getting organic milk because it lasts so much longer. Maybe something to think about it goes on sale ...

And, Sam is ADORABLE!!!
