Bits & Bobs #3

I want to document how this 'new mom' thing is going, at the 3 and a half months (ish) mark.

First of all, a question: When am I no longer considered 'a new mom'? 6 months? A year?

1) First thing I've noticed is my 'expanding' vocabulary. I spontaneously create new words, for words that already exist. Such as...

Diaper = Dibidy Dipes

Fart = Tooty Fruity, Rootin Tootin' (combined it would sound like "Tooty Fruity in your Dibidy Dipes".

Burp = Burpy Durps.

Upon further inspection, I'm not actually creating new words, so much as bastardizing old ones.

2) Secondly, I've lowered my standards on a few things. I will now look at a shirt or a pair of pants, and hang them back up in the closet if they 'only have a little bit' of spit-up on them.

3) I find amusement in the most mundane things, and relay these mundane moments with much enthusiasm. The other day I was driving to Superstore, and was looking at Rhys in my rear view mirror. I waved at him, and then noticed the woman in the van behind me waved back. She thought I was waving at her. This was hilarious to me, so I told Warren about it when I got home. He just stared at me blankly, wondering when the funny part was coming.

Oh, I know there's a bunch more, just can't think of it right now...
