Poop

Why would the title of my post be poop and why would I even want to talk about it when it was not what I was sitting down to blog about in the first place; well this is more for me and not for anyone else but this seems to be my blog as of late...journal entries and things to remember down the road. The last week has been filled with more poop then I could have ever imagined...and I KNOW THIS IS THE CASE FOR ALL MOTHERS OUT THERE; I AM NO DIFFERENT...and not all of it is from baby boy...last night as we were leaving my parents house there were splotches of little poop all over their back patio. I could not fathom what it could be until two little ducks waddled up and started banging on the door with their beaks, do ducks have beaks, not sure what they are called but my mother has been feeding them in the mornings and whenever. They are not the normally ones that we have seen before but they always seem hungry and now they are pooping all over and its rather annoying; she left out of town on Friday and they miss her. I can handle little boy but these ducks better get a move on it or something bad might happen. I doubt I could ever do anything but its still frustrating. Ok, so now back to baby boy...does anyone else have a husband who gags and throws up if he has to change a dirty diaper; poor guy tries so hard; I try and make him do it as much as possible though to toughen him up and he does the best he can. 

So as I sit here I think I could be doing so many other things; cleaning my house, writing our primary program, making breakfast, straightening my hair for church but no I am blogging about poop; the sewage of the body and that is exactly what it is. No matter how many times I take the trash out and make sure my house is sprayed down with air freshener the poop smell lingers; even when I have washed my hands a hundred times, I still feel like they reak; anybody know of something that takes the smell away...yesterday we bought the next size diaper too...my baby is growing up and no matter how many times I write about all the crazy things, I am crazy in love with him and would not change one single thing about him or what had happened since he joined our family almost 10 months ago and that is the the real reason I wanted to post today, not the poop; I wanted to post about how fast time flies. The poop was just a tangent that I wanted to remember for the future. 

On Thursday my mother had taken the car that has his big boy car seat in it and I needed to run an errand so I took his baby carrier out and put him in it...I was so amazed how big he looked...I had to take a picture...and I found a picture on my phone of him at 1 day old leaving the hospital and two days old at his first doctors appointment. I cannot hardly remember him ever being this small but looking at pictures makes me realize that he was. Also of people ask me how much he weighed at birth because he is such a big lad now but he was perfectly normal at 7 pounds and 9 ounces...he even lost weight at the begining and got under 7 but once he started eating he did not stop and has not...his weight had stayed around the same for the last little while and that makes me happy...I miss this little boy but love the big boy he is becoming.
