I have been constantly amused at the evolution of motherhood that has taken place in my life over the past year. Gray is now fourteen months old. I've looked back often since he was born and realized how much I have changed since #1 came along. When #3 comes along...you find yourself doing things you swore you would never do. I thought I would share a few...
I don't think I've washed one of his dropped pacys since he was about two weeks old (used to practically sterilize the other one's)
I took him to Wal-Mart in his pajamas and bare feet the other day(gasp)
I use whatever spoon is available to feed him (it is often too big for his mouth)
At a recent after church lunch at Peppers (unplanned) I let him eat PB & J, chips, crackers and sip his sister's Sprite (my other two didn't know what sugar was until around age 2 unless it was their first birthday cake...I also would have made a special trip home in order to provide them with healthy nourishment-crazy!)
I introduced juice boxes at 12 months (don't judge)
I maybe pumped a total of 10 times over six months of nursing...if I wasn't there he got formula (Heaven forbid!)
Baths are optional for #3 (depends on what's going on with #1 and #2)
Schedule...what schedule?? Baby Wise has been long gone!!
I'm sure I'm forgetting lots of things (I would have been sure to write them down with #1 and #2), but with all of that being said....he is a well adjusted, sweet, laid back, precious, smart baby...I'm so glad he came along when he did... I might still be absorbed in my neurotic behavior :) Please feel free to add your favorite no-no you let slide with your #3.
then get your rolos ready to stick on as soon as the cookies come out of the oven...I love the way she lines them up...she is my child:)
once you stick them on the hot cookie, the chocolate melts enough to stick the M&M eyes on...
...I used black cookie icing for the eyes and legs...the original recipe called for licorice legs but I couldn't find any stiff enough to work...I think the icing will taste better anyway...
