Realities Of A Stay At Home Mom

I love watching home videos, but only if they're of my family. They just aren't as fun otherwise. Last night Kenny and I got an old tape out of him rolling over, crawling and walking. He is our first child. As evidenced by the amount of footage we have of him. He was..is so adorable! We both sat there forever just staring and laughing. In the video I noticed how my voice completely changed when I talked to him when he was a baby, as if I just sucked in a helium filled balloon. I think this is something we just do without even thinking about it when it comes to babies. I also noticed how clean my carpets looked, how the paint on my walls still looked fresh, how skinny and young Mateo and I looked. I noticed the mounds of clean laundry piles laying on my couch, the mounds of dirty laundry piles on the floor, the decorations that gave me the thought of "what the heck?, did I really think that looked good on my walls?" It was six years ago...So many things have changed, but just like the laundry piles...so many things are the same.

Our baby Kenny! Who is now 6, but as huge as an 8 year old.

I so didn't want to share this picture...but it just goes to show...I did wear "mommy jeans" at one time...so gross. And the decorations are begging for an interior decorator!
