Lately, our house has become cluttered with little socks, diapers, throw-up towels, onesies, and most every other little thing that comes with having a baby. And when I look at all of the many dishes that have been neglected and hours that have gone unslept, combined with an ever growing array of little paraphernalia, I can't help but think that I deserve credit for coming up with the perfect recipe for a short circuited memory. So if any of you need to forget an unwanted appointment with your boss or bishop, come spend a day at the Kirkman's. Before you know it, you too will forget to get dressed only to hear a knock on the door and realize that it is mid-afternoon and your baby is content, but you forgot to turn off the oven.
Motherhood is an adjustment.
BUT I love it so much! I can honestly say that nothing brings me greater happiness than seeing my sweet baby happy. He is growing much faster than what I would like. At two months, he is barely fitting some of his six month clothes and is quite long. I am confident that little Joshua will grow up to have a career involving highly trained leg aerobics...possibly be the next Billy Blanks (?). He loves to kick and kick and smile and then kick some more. Josh gave a beautiful baby blessing last Sunday and the luncheon was yummy, thanks to my mom and Grandma Tippetts and all who brought salads/desserts.
Good news all around: we purchased a 1998 Buick Century off of KSL for a super good deal. It only has 82,000 miles and runs like a teenager on steroids. I feel like a new woman with wheels to the outside world!
This week was spring break down at SUU. Josh spent it busting his brains trying to finish his home-study physics class while Joshua and I made ourselves scarce at Grandma Lisa's house. We have had fun testing out our chauffer skills on the kids and practicing early bedtime habits.
Stay tuned for some baby/car pics!
