You know you're a Mom when

... you run errands with an orange lips outline on your white shirt and have no idea it was there until you got home and looked in the mirror.

... you pull into a gas station and pull out a pacifier from your purse to try and pay for gas.

... you've tasted pureed squash by choice.

... you go a whole day without taking a shower.

... you cheer when someone burps.

... you're desensitized by poop.

... you crawl into bed and realize you're laying on a rattle.

... you take a shower with baby bubble bath because your body wash is all out.

... your mouth opens when you watch other people take a bite of something.

My friend Bekah did a blog like this, and I thought the idea was so cute I copied it and made my own. Her list is even better than mine... check it out, It'll make you smile for sure.

Of course...

Drew and I have tried so many different ways and so many different times to make Noah laugh. Some were successful... but not many. Then tonight Beans of all things makes Noah laugh... hard. I had to stop the video because I was trying to hold back my laugh and my eyes were watering so much I was afraid I couldn't hold the video straight.

Oh my.

This video was taken right after the video from yesterday. I had to put it up because it's such a classic "Noah being a boy". Make sure your volume is turned up so you can hear the funny part... man-I love this kid.

My bouncy baby boy

I think this is one of my favorite videos of Noah. I took it this afternoon after he refused to take a nap (I see some of his mommy coming out, and he's been a lot more opinionated lately...uh-oh). He makes me laugh every time he does this move, it's like a combo of swimming and not crawling... but REALLY wanting to be a big boy and move on his own.So cute.

What we've been up to...

Noah is now over 5 months. He's laughing, eating some solids, and rolling over regularly. He's also grown out of almost every piece of clothing that we owned for him, has a johnny jumper that he loves, and has developed a habit of waking up in the middle of the night, talking for an hour, and then falling back asleep.

Tummy time photoshoot

Lately, Noah hasn't enjoyed tummy time as much as he used to. Too bad for him... we do it anyways. But, here he is a couple days ago not minding it so much. I'm so grateful for digital cameras and the ability to just snap away taking all the pictures I want and deleting the not so great ones later. Not that my baby takes bad pictures... but just in case he did, I could just delete them.









How cute is my kid... seriously.

Melts my heart... everytime

So my amazing sister-in-law Anna, is an amazing seamstress. She can make almost anything, although she is far to humble to admit that.

Lately, she has been making these really cute vintage inspired aprons for little girls that have me wishing we were due with a little girl sometime soon. Well, maybe not... I don't think I'm quite ready for the shenanigans of being pregnant again, but that's how cute they are.

Do you have a little girl that needs an apron, or know of one that might like one? All the aprons come with a tea towel, cookie cutter and a wooden spoon... sounds like the perfect gift to me!

I'm a forgetful Frank

I lose EVERYTHING.

I really do. And everything is not an exaggeration. I've lost my hair dryer before, and who loses their hair dryer? I mean really... that takes some talent, don't you think?

I've lost my shoes and even an ipod. And, I lose my keys almost every time I set them down somewhere. Then I usually spend 10 minutes trying to find them before I have somewhere important to be. Maybe I need to start taking a supplement for my memory?

Anyways, this time I lost our camera charger. At least, I think it was me who lost it. It's kind of a bummer too, becasue I have been wanting to take video's of Noah lately (he discovered a new sound). But, my phone doesn't have a video option and the camera on my computer isn't discrete enough to record him gurgling. He gets too distracted with the baby on the computer to keep talking.

Hopefully I will find it soon. It will probably be in the place that I told myself at the time "This is the best place to put a camera charger"... I just have to find that place!

And then... wait, what was I going to do with my camera charger? Just kidding... I will be putting up more videos and pictures of Noah.

Maybe I need to start taking a supplement for my memory. Just kidding... again.
