Josh, Mandi, M'Tali, Dallin, Dakoda, Logan, & Easton: November 2010

Logan thinks that anything that gets him attention is funny. Last week I was down stairs folding laundry, and I asked M'Tali if she would go find Logan for me because I hadn't heard him for awhile. She went upstairs and told me to come look at him, and this is how we found him. He thought he was so funny he started splashing and jumping around, I thought it was so disgusting but luckily I had just cleaned the toilet. Of course we put him in the tub and got him all clean.
Hopefully this will be a sign that he is easy to potty train, and that he'll sit on the toilet and not in it!!!
Logan has so much personality and is always making us laugh!!!

BEFORE I WAS A MOM!!!

Before I was a mom..I cooked and ate hot meals, I wore unstained clothing, brushed my hair and teeth everyday, and I had quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a mom..My house stayed clean for days after I cleaned it, I didn't worry if my plants were poisonous, and I never tripped over toys, color book, or piles of shoes. Before I was a mom.. I have never been puked on, pooped on, drooled on, chewed on, peed on, or pinched by tiny fingers. I Had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I always got a full night's sleep. Before I was a mom.. I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do test or give shots. I Never looked into teary eyes and cried. I Never felt my heart brake into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. Before I was a mom.. I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt gloriously happy over a simple grin, and I never knew that I could love someone so much. Before I was a mom.. I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside of my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby, and I didn't know that bond between Mother and her child. Before I was a mom.. I didn't know someone so small could make me feel so important. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, and the happiness of being a mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much... Before I was a Mom.
