So today marks Erin's 1st Mother's Day. Trippy!
Sorry I've been dormant lately--been going through a lot, yaknow? Getting this whole "having a child" thing down...also got a new job/shift going, so it's been a very interesting few months, lemme tellya.

I've become dirty diaper expert--very adept at keeping my fingers clean (or trying to) and dodging his best attempts to soil me. He and I actually had a killer dirty diaper change at the mall last Friday. You know those scary bathrooms at the end of those long scary hallways, where you wish you had a sidearm? One of those. The wall-mounted changing table hung ominously between a crowd of aggravated waiting-to-pee folks, and here I come pushing a crying baby (with VERY dirty diaper) in a stroller, toting a diaper bag...I wheeled up to the changing table and (still) had to say "Excuse me, can I please get in there to the table?" --so, after I folded the thing down and laid down a protective barrier, I set Luke down and went to work. Those folks just had to deal with Luke and me and the funky things we had goin' on...it was a tense/funny moment, to be sure. A couple of nice ladies actually kind of chipped in and helped me, which was cool. When their daughter yelled from the ladies' room that it was out of toilet paper, I kindle offered them a baby wipe--but the angry teen refused it through the door. She was a little embarrassed, methinks.
Back to Erin--I got her a super cute singing card, from Luke, of course, ("ABC" by Jackson 5) and spelled "Mommy" on the front with a backwards y. He's growing like a weed these days, thanks to Erin's never-ending supply of 93 Octane milk. She feeds/pumps/stores/freezes/organizes this stuff like you wouldn't believe. Such a great mommy. I know this kid will appreciate all her efforts one day...
