Motherhood 101

I would like to present you with a series of images, descriptions, and video footage of some of the entertaining moments I experience every day as the mother of a 7-month old boy.

NAPTIME

Joshua is the best sleeper! Right now he sleeps 12-13 hours at night and then takes two 2-hour naps during the day. I am a very lucky mother! I am currently taking advantage of his naptime to blog. :) (Note how much hair he has in this picture, which was taken just 2 weeks ago. There is a drastric difference between this picture and later ones on this post!)


POOPING IS FOR THE BIRDS


Shortly after we arrived in Missouri, Joshua became miserably constipated for the first time in his life. This was quite traumatic for him. Here is a series of photos that shows just how excruciating this constipation was for him:

Poor kid!!! :( We would be doing a normal activity (such as eating dinner), and suddenly he would assume the "Pooping Position" and scream his lungs out in an effort to poop. Sadly, this rarely resulted in anything but the occasional rock-hard turd and the consequential sore bum. Joshua was miserable for several days.
