Welcome to Motherhood

So, Austin is almost 9 months old, and I think I have finally had my first "life as a Mom" moment. I'm sure there have been others, but this is a good one!

It started when I went to get something out of the fridge, and an unopened bottle of balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing fell on the floor...breaking the bottle. I look up from the mess on my kitchen floor to see my sweet little boy high-tailing it into the kitchen to check out the mess. I quickly navigate my way around the spill, grab Austin, and put him in his saucer while I clean up the kitchen floor.

Once I finished with that mess, I go get Austin out of the saucer and notice the all to familiar stench of a dirty diaper. I go get a diaper and wipes and put him down on the living room floor to change him. I quickly pull off his pants, hoping to get him changed before he tries to crawl away. As I went to lift his leg up, I realize that my hand is in something warm and slimy. Then I look down and realize that when I took his pants off, I had also flung poo onto my sock and jeans. So, here we are, in the middle of the living room floor, both of us covered in poo. Anyway, after I finally get him cleaned and am putting his new diaper on, I realize that he stuck his foot in the old diaper and wiped his foot down my arm.

Anyway, we are both cleaned up now At least I was doing laundry anyway, right? And the bonus of it all: the overwhelming smell of vinegar in my house is masking the poo smell! Yeah! It sure is a good thing he is so cute!

Megan, you are on blog posting fire! Love it. I can't believe it's been 9 months and you haven't been poo-attacked yet. Taylor spent the first couple weeks of his life shooting projectile poo. Makes for some good laughs now. Wait till Austin starts reaching into his diaper and wiping his poop on things- that's when it gets real exciting.
