The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
It’s funny how those things used to gross me out. I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t stand up and announce that I have poo on my clothes to celebrate it and jump for joy, but I also don’t freak out that there is human feces on my clothes. When did that change?
When you take the spit, puke, poo –or whatever is oozing out of your baby and wipe it on yourself because you have nothing else to wipe it on, you’ve entered the MommyZone/DaddyZone.
But entering the MommyZone,DaddyZone isn’t all bad or disgusting. Especially when you get the giggles out of them, or they recognize you in the morning and give you huge toothless grins. It always amazes me when he sees things and ”looks” like he’s seeing them for the first time–well because he is. It’s this amazing innocence and lust for life that is so precious because one day it will be gone.
How can the ceiling fan keep his attention for so long, just what secret does it have?
All of our kids have quirks–things that only you, and your family may find cute but I’m going to share what my son’s are because well this is my blog and they make me crack up!
1) In his Jolly jumper, he only bounces with one leg, he’ll touch down with two but lift up the other one and bounce off with only one leg.. why who knows. He actually looks kind of gimpy LOL I’ve made sure that he can touch with both etc. but alas it’s just one leg bouncer for now.
2) He whacks his head to sleep. And I mean hard! He’ll be trying to “soothe” himself–how this sooths him I’m not so sure but none the less he is semi-sleeping, and then when he goes through his sleep cycle, he starts to bonk himself to sleep. Hard enough to shake the video monitor in his crib… it’s so funny, I may just take a video to show you all!
3) This last one comes and goes, it was more so when he was really young. When he was about to sneeze, he’d go. Ahhhhhhhhh really loudly, like “oh my god something is happening to me” and then he’d sneeze a few seconds later. So it was nice to have a warning for the sneeze. Now it’s more of an afterthought. He’ll sneeze and then go uhhhhhhhhhhh. So cute!
What do all of your kids do that crack you up?
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.

Cody does #1 too! I thought it was just because he was still a little too young for it and was slumping sideways – but Dom is older, so maybe it’s just something some of them do until they get used to it?

I dunno but i just read on those things that the weight restriction is 25 lbs… i wanted to make it higher up so he didn’t touch the ground as much but it’s as high as it goes, Dom is just too heavy LOL

After Mason burps or poops, he gives you this big smile as if to say “look what I have done!” lol He’s also started to show off. He knows if he does something, he’ll get a reaction from people out of it.

I think that I get spit up me once a day if not more. But my oldest use to be really bad for it too. I have also been peed on many time, but Maxim is the only one who has pooped on me.

Tonight Xander threw up right down my shirt into my bra. I didn’t even bat an eyelash. My father-in-law asks “Why does everyone think its cute when he burps or farts but they get mad at me if I do it?”
