Manna from Heaven

I have discovered the food of the gods. Those of you who have not experienced motherhood--I was there only seven short months ago myself--you would not comprehend how much you miss having even 15 continual minutes to accomplish such menial tasks like taking a shower, doing your hair, changing laundry...you get the picture. In comes my new favorite food. I'm sure you are wondering what this delightful new treat is and where, pray tell, may you find it. Well, walk into Walmart, hang a left at the second aisle and head straight to the wall-o-Gerber and you will find...BITER BISCUITS. This wonderful creation is, like I said, manna from heaven not because it tastes particularly good, but because it occupies the interest of my very busy baby for up to FORTY MINUTES!! This is an ETERNITY in the life of a mom. Do you know what you can do in FORTY MINUTES!! Months ago I may have complained about not having enough time in a week to clean my house and do laundry, but now, sheesh, how I look forward to the mad dash through the house that forty minutes gives me! Now, like all gifts, it comes with a price. I include with this post video of how my son looks after forty minutes of biter biscuit. It isn't pretty, but man he's happy, mom's happy, everyone's happy, so yes, I'll do this every day as long as I continue to get my forty minutes even if that means I have to give him and his high chair a hose down when he's done.

Oh yes, the infamous "biter biscuits". I remember them well. It was definitely worth the huge mess it made! And they were verrrry messy. He's such a doll. Give his belly a rub for me! :)

Ashley decided it was time to crawl this week. Just when I had it all figured out- the rules change and I feel like a "brand new mom" all over again! Gotta love it!
