~Changes...~

Isn't it amazing how much you change as a person when you become a mother? I didn't think I would but WOW is all I can say! I find myself alot less selfish. Less selfish with my time for sure. I can sit on the floor and play with Ethan for hours, sit and stare at him, cuddle him at all hours...I'm definatly less selfish with my sleep too. Take today for example. I went to bed at midnight, woke up at 3:45am to feed Ethan and am now up cleaning house, making bottles, and surfing online. Not to say that I don't plan on going back to bed in a few minutes though. There is something I am now remembering I missed about 5am...it's so quiet and clean feeling outside, makes me want to go for a walk... That might become my summer tradition if I can get the guts to do it. Anyhow, back to the changes; I find myself being a better housekeeper. It's hard to say if it's out of having time to do it or if I just feel the need. But my house looks fairly great. It wouldn't be featured on the cover of Style magazine but it's looking good according to our standards. I find myself trying to be more organized. I always did like being organized but now I have my Epicure Spices organized by type, my tea and coffee seperated into their own shelves, a place in my kitchen designated for bottles...Weird. Lastly I find myself with alot of patience. I can't believe it. Well actually I can...it's the reason I waited so long to have kids. I knew that patience was not one of my strong points...it came with age and experience, LOL!

If you are a regular reader of my blog you will notice another change...my subject! But that's okay...he's a cute one! Anyhow, that's my introspective point of view for this morning! Now onto some fun pictures!!!

Look at how big Tigger is compared to Ethan!!! They are getting along so well! I couldn't be happier!



Ethan and I played in his gym for over an hour yesterday! He had so much fun and even bashed his head a few times with the toucan...too cute!!!





I spent hours in my scrapping room yesterday getting it organized...it's almost done just need to run into Jysk for a couple of things and it will be perfect! I don't know how much scrapping I'll get done in the next week...I have company steady! But it'll be ready when I am! I'll post some pics when I'm all done, it's a cool setup this time! I had to be really creative with the space I had.

I have to say that according to my sister Mary, TODAY is Ethans' One month Birthday. He was born April 26th, today is May 26th so she says that is a month. To me, he was born 4 Saturdays ago so he was a month on Saturday. I dunno, what do you think? Not that it really matters but you know how it is when you have a sister...someone has to be right...

Anyhow I'm off for a couple hours nap...I did my Mommy duties and can relax now. I can't believe it's already Monday!!!
