CURLY

I always assumed that my kid would have curly hair.
Andrew has straighter hair than his dad has.
My curls did get to him somehow, though,
His toes seem to be curlier than my hair is,
They are always in a tight tight "foot fist"
At least he got my "curls" somehow :)

MOWGLY JUNGLE CHILD

When my little jungle child doesn't like how the texture of the ground feels on his legs, he gets up on hands and feet, bum straight in the air, and takes off. He looks just like Mowgly from the jungle book!

I Was Fairly Warned...

As I walked into my favorite decorations store

I opened the door and it cut my foot open

I think that was a fair warning to just turn around and go home...
...I walked out of there $80 poorer
SO WORTH IT :)

Smells like rain

The other day I stepped outside after a rain storm
It smelled like the earth was renewed...with a hint of cow poop
The cow poop took over, and then I remembered that's the consequence for living in Springville.
I guess it will just make me be grateful for the few minutes of fresh rain smell before the smell of cow poop sets in.

*DUCK*

First: Insert duck head
Second: Insert as many fingers as possible up to 8
Third: Giggle while the duck squeaks

Something to Blog About

I think this last month I passed a very important milestone in blogging: I had a baby! I think blogging was created for moms to brag about their kids, and that's exactly what I'm going to do from here on out!
As I sit here in the room next to my baby, and listen to him hiccup himself to sleep, I am filled with love but also overwhelmed with what will come in the future--what a scary world to bring something so precious and innocent into. And so, every day I hold this sweet little baby in my arms with more love than he will ever imagine, and I look forward to all of the sweet moments that I can blog about.





We love you Andrew and look forward to countless blogging moments in the future!

At Least He'll Have a Sweet Spirit

Doesn't everybody say that no matter how ugly your baby actually is, you still think it's cute because it's yours.

Well, I have a hard time believing that I would unconditionally love this child

Isn't technology great? 

I used one of those "morph-yourself" websites to see what my baby will look like. 

I sure hope he stays in me for as long as possible 

cause it looks like he's going to need 

as much beauty sleep as he can get before he comes out!

We tried again with different pictures...not much better...

It also doesn't help that it asks the ethnicity of the parents

and the only options it gives are African, East Asian, and Indian

This baby looks like a mini Ghandi

At least he'll have a sweet spirit
