Your Guide to Baby Stools

Seriously?

What genius advertising expert decided that a great way to convince parents to buy Similac Advance Early Shield baby formula would be to send them a pamphlet with pictures of infant poop?

Apparently, this formula gives a infant poop that most closely resembles breast fed poop.

Convinced yet?

Mean Wife

Aaron and I were "arguing" today about various hardships that we've had to go through for the other.

Aaron's trump card?

"Oh yeah? Well I had to ask the lady at Wal Mart where to find nipple cream"




(Feel free to die laughing. I did)

Sacreligious

Mother's Day weekend Aaron, Cade, and I went up to Kaysville for a BBQ and to talk to Tyler (he's serving in Johannesburg South Africa).

After church, Aaron took Cade out to the car to get him in his seat. We got him buckled in...

FYI: it takes FOR-EVER to get anywhere with a baby

and took off.

As we're driving down the road I hear Aaron yell

"MY BOOK OF MORMON!"

We look back, and there, lying in the middle of the road, is a small dark blob. He'd put it on the top of the car when he put Cade in, and we'd driven off before placing it back safely inside the car.

Me: "We can still go back and get it"

Aaron: "Ya, but I'd feel stupid running across the street to get a book. Oh well."

Thankfully Corinne didn't share that opinion.

We got home, and she walks out of her car, carrying a Book of Mormon. She walked up to our car, and leaned in--

"I was driving home from church and I noticed a Book of Mormon lying in the road. I felt like it was sacreligious to leave it there, and so I ran across the freeway to get it."

Long pause

"Then I open up the front cover and guess who's name is written in the front?"

At least we know that Corinne has a testimony

Fête des Mères

(that's mother's day in French)

To my son,

You made me a mother. You also showed me that it is possible to:

1. go through 216 diapers in less than 3 weeks
2. gain 1/3 of your body weight in 2 weeks
3. grow an inch and a half in 2 weeks
4. do absolutely nothing--and be the most interesting thing in the room
5. never get too much beauty sleep




Thanks Cade, for making this the best Mother's Day ever.
