Snow?!

Yea, so Ethan already got his first snow yesterday! He caught some on his forehead. It was pretty exciting though. Maybe we will get lucky and get more! Ethan has also been eating more real food, he loves carrots and sweet potatoes. His clothes are now stained from the sweet potatoes though. It's all good. I am trying to put a video up on here of him, I know you would all enjoy that, I just have to find a way to edit the video first. That requires more spare time though which brings me to my "what I have learned being a mommy" discussion. I have learned many things that I never thought would be beneficial such as learning to multi-task, learning to do things with one hand, and memorizing "The Night Before Christmas" story. I guess the first two could be beneficial any time especially if you broke your hand but the latter really won't get me far in life I'm afraid. But it is pretty fun to read the story to Ethan and he laughs and talks back to me. That makes it worth it. Something else I should have mentioned before is that being a mom makes you cherish so much more, like your pre-baby body. Oh, how I would love to have that tummy back. Never hate your pre-baby body cause it's like a million times better than your post-baby body unless your lucky and don't get battle scars and excess fat/skin. Once again, it's worth it though. And some other things to cherish: sleep, time to eat, time to do household chores, and my favorite, showering. Today I didn't get to get my shower until almost three p.m. but when I do get it, it's the most beautiful thing ever. It's like vacation in the Bahamas or some remote island(yea, it's that good) for about ten minutes until you are brought back to reality by the screams over the baby monitor. So for those of you who don't shower daily and enjoy it, shame on you. And one more word of advice for future mothers, do not give your baby bananas until they are older, it can constipate your precious one horribly and cause them to be irritable/grumpy for days. Alright, well there will be pictures and a video later so I apologize ya'll have to read this story with no pictures. Enjoy! We love you all!
