BlowOuts!

Yesterday was so hot here in PA. So, I thought it would be nice to get into my bathing suit (even though I was as white as a snowball) and put Sienna in hers (it is sad when your baby is darker than you). She looked so cute in her striped and flower suit. This was her first time wearing it so I took a ton of pics. Then I put her in her bouncer and went outside to pot some flowers. I kept peeking my head back inside to make sure she was okay. Then I started to hear her cry. So I went in to get her. As soon as she heard my voice she was fine and all smiles. I started to talk to her and than preceded to pick her up. Bad idea. My hands were covered in mustard yellow poop. Sienna is known for this, so I usually keep plastic bloomers on her. But since she had already had two blowouts that day I thought it was safe not to put them on her. Again, bad idea. The poop was all up her back, all on the cute bathing suit, all over the bouncer, and now all over me. I held her out as far as possible, like when you kill a bug and hold the napkin as far away from you as possible. Her face was all smiles. She was so oblivious to what she had done. All she cared about was the fact that mommy was there. This is what is so great about babies. As soon as I saw her face I could care less that we were both covered in poop. It was the joy that she brought me that was important. I have a lot to learn about parenting but one thing that I have started to get is that even in the most ugliest situations there is joy to be found. Who would of thought that blowouts could bring smiles from both parties.

Nakedness

My husband and I were discussing how sin has tainted some of the things in our society. Like the beauty of women or the mind of a man. He reminded me of Genesis how God clothed Adam and Eve after they had sinned. I responded that I hope in the new world we can go around naked. He said that maybe we could still wear clothes to show off our artistic side. As I was thinking about this I thought how it was no mistake that God designed us to come into the world naked and how we are his most perfect creation. He thought that our bodies were beautiful, that is why we weren't born with clothes. But our society has made nudity a sexual thing, or for others a gross thing. I mean, I don't want to see a 45year old hairy man naked. But in thinking that I have destorted what God has designed. Not that we should go around naked, but that the perfectness of who we are has been lost in sin. One day we will get to be the whole person that God created us to be. I just hope that for me it doesn't involve clothes:)

21st Century

Well, I have officially entered into the 21st century. I have a blog site and e-mail. This new world is very exciting. At anytime I can go on line and discover anything I wish. It is so easy and user friendly. Who would of thought that I was missing out on so much. But as I sit here typing on my new found friend, I wonder if I was really missing out. My life was complete without this new thing called the internet. Know I guess I can discover other people's worlds (the good and the bad). It has helped me to connect with others. But at the sametime, disconnect from those around me. No matter how I look at it, it has its good things and its bad things. I guess that goes for most things in life. No matter, I am officially part of the internet world:)



*My little girl Sienna just found a friend, we call it a thumb. It is amazing how the human body works. One day she has no clue that her hand exist, much less that she controls it, the next day BOOM-she can't keep her eyes off of it. Life is filled with new discoveries each day.
