One of my favorite books to read to William is Ten Little Babies. The last page reads "One little baby alone having fun. He became a grown up and then there were none." I get choked up every time. I'm not sure why the author decided to end the book with a little baby growing up and leaving his mother but that's just cruel.
Am I dramatic or what? I definitely don't think I can keep this up.
In other news, David did all the dishes tonight after I made him his favorite Mormon enchiladas. This is something to look forward to after babies grow up: many, many years together with a man who does the dishes and buys Moose Tracks for me when he picks up tomatoes at the store.
Mormon Enchiladas? Please share the details of that recipe!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same thought as Frootie. What makes an enchilada Mormon?
ReplyDeleteWow Liz! You are looking hot!
ReplyDeleteI agree--can you share your recipe for Mormon enchiladas?
ReplyDeletei love these updates - cute family you got going on there! good to know it just keeps going, right? :)
ReplyDeleteWell, as the mother of two teen-aged boys, I will testify that there are many wonderful things I enjoy with them. Don't get me wrong, I will cry buckets when they get married and are no longer "mine," but I truly believe there are wonderful things about each age of my children. I miss all the baby, toddler, preschooler, little boy, big boy, etc. stuff, but every age is a great age.
ReplyDeleteThe thoughtful conversations I have with my boys about the world, their faith, our family, school, etc. are so wonderful, I wouldn't miss them for the world.
Your little boy gets cuter and cuter all the time! I love the pictures you take of him. :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell if William's new carseat is rear- or forward-facing, but I want to pass on an article that Sarah Rogan posted on fb. Apparently there are new guidelines that suggest leaving a child rear-facing until the age of 2 (you can read why in the article, rule #2). I'm not trying to be annoying, and obviously it's up to you and your husband, but the article really makes you think. Here it is:

Everyone - "Mormon" enchiladas are different than the enchiladas I normally make because they are made with flour tortillas instead of corn and have a few different ingredients which make them substantially more casserole-like (a Mormon dish trademark). I didn't take a picture and I'm obsessed with including a picture with my recipes so if you're really interested in the recipe, you can e-mail me (elizabethabryant@gmail.com) and I'll give you the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAlicia, William's carseat is rear-facing for the time being though we will eventually change it to front-facing. Thanks for the concern!
It's so fun to see your little family! I hated having to get a forward facing car seat, but it made for a happier baby!
ReplyDeletewe went through this same thing a couple of weeks ago...but wait J is only 7 1/2 months old!!! She's a big girl!
