poop, smiles, coos, and poop


Being a Mommy means that you are rarely clean for very long.  This morning was definitely no exception to that rule.  It's a funny story so I thought I'd share.  I got up at 7:30 to feed him and I just sat down on the couch


when i happened to notice that his diaper looked pretty full in the front.  The following is my mental thought process "hmm.  that looks pretty full.  I should probably change him first because normally he poops when he eats and when his diaper is full he poops out of it." 

Then I see him screw his face up and he pooped really loudly.  again here is my thought process "well it's too late now.  I literally just had that thought and he pooped.  Hey there's something warm on my leg.  Did he just poop on me?"  I lift him up slightly and prop him up "O.MY.GOD.  he just pooped so much that it went up his back almost to his head.  That is so gross!!!  and it's on my PJ's now.  How the hell am I supposed to change him and clean him up??" 

I proceed to his room and put him on the changing station and take off his onsie which gets poop in his hair and all over the cover.  I undo his diaper and I turn my head to throw the old diaper in the diaper pail and when I turn my head back to him he is peeing all over - mostly on his own face.  This makes him so angry that I say "Well buddy that's all your own fault!  Don't get mad at me because you pooped up one side and peed up the other!"  At this point all I can do is laugh at him as I wipe him down.  This took many wipes I assure you.  I put a clean onesie on him, set him in his crib so that I could go change my clothes and wash  my hands.  Then I go back to the living room. 

I was still feeding him and it's at this point that he decided to give me his first real smile ever!  He totally locked eyes with me while I was talking to him and stopped eating his bottle and gave me this huge grin.  It was so cute.  I took the bottle out of his mouth and he totally did it again!  So cute!  Then he started cooing to me.  We had this conversation (warning this isn't the bed video taping skills ever but I was trying to talk to my boy!):





When we were done talking I fed him the rest of the bottle.  We were almost done when all of a sudden I see him screw his face up again and he poops a second time.  And for a second time I felt something warm on my leg.  Sigh.  It wasn't as bad as the first one but he definitely pooped up his diaper again and it got on my formally clean PJ's. 

Sometimes being a mom means being less than clean!  But if i get the reward of smiles and coos it doesn't seem so bad....

Sweet 17 Months

Luke: weighs approx. 27 lbs not sure how tall has 8 teeth and one coming in wears size 5 diapers wears size 2T clothing wears size 6 shoes Takes 1 nap - approximately an hour and a half during the day Almost always sleeps through the night Someone asked me the other day what Luke was like.  I was a little taken aback because I couldn't find the words to say to explain him.  Mostly because he's such a complex little guy.  So in honor of his (almost) 17 month milestone, I thought I'd try to capture some of his essence.  Luke is such a bright ray of sun.  He is generally pretty happy and he loves to laugh.  And when he does he laughs way deep, down in his belly.   his big ole grin He also loves food.  There are so many times that I feel like there is no possible way he could STILL be eating.  But he keeps saying "more" and signing more.  he's a happy boy for food! He also likes to be scared.  Many hours are spent by running around a

Letters

some of these lines have been floating around in my head for several weeks now and they just came together tonight.  It's one of those things that I just couldn't get out of my head until I wrote it down.  letters written letters read letters from souls who are dead letters carved upon a grave letters are the things I save letters written on those lines letters penned from hands that are mine letters in a spot near to my bed letters memorized in my head letters inked upon my skin letters from a voice within letters with a sense of peace letters that are meant to ease letters written letters sent letters confirming what I meant letters ushering the peace I've found letters soothe my crying sounds letters containing things unsaid All I have are letters written letters read

Advice I WOULD have given

I had to write a letter of advice to a fictitious 16 year old girl giving my sage advice about the business world.  Of course I thought of Brittany immediately and even though she isn't here for me to tell her these things, this is what I WOULD have told her if she had asked.  The professor told me that it was "really lovely" and "one of the best letters from the class".  I thought I'd share because why the heck not.  Maybe one day I'll have a baby girl to tell these things to......          Dear Brittany, I am flattered that you think so highly of me that you are seeking my advice.   I have found these ideas immensely helpful to me and I hope you will find as much success with them as I have.   Being a young woman has many advantages, but I have always believed that a woman should be able to support herself no matter what life brings her way.   Because of this, I am a huge proponent of education.   In addition to getting your Bachelor’s
