Ode to Erma Bombeck

If you're too young to know who she is, check something of her's out at the library, you're in for a good laugh. Think Bill Bryson. If I just dusted off an old brain cell for you, go to the library and treat yourself to her once again.

Anyway, here's what I think she would say about the first 2 months of babyhood/motherhood.

This kid has no table manners or social decorum what-so-ever. Who raised this kid anyway??! Oh yea, he's not raised yet-only hatched. Raising him is now my job and boy do I have my work cut out for me!! The more I look at him, the more I realize he's JUST LIKE HIS DAD!! No god fearing Salisbury would EVER do the things he does!! Or is it just a "guy thing?" I was raised around girls and now I'm surrounded by boys--perhaps while I'm not looking they are teaching Charles everything they know!!
Forget fork and knife, I mean I get that he's just a baby and can't use utensils yet but heck, he doesn't even use his hands! Just shoves his face into the "plate" like it's a pie eating contest at the county fair. Food and drink dribbling down his chin and neck. Then, in order to fit more food in when he's full...he whines and cries until he belches right in front of everyone! And we could solve our gas crisis -at our own home anyway- if only we could harness the gasses that come out the other end!! He's quite the multitasker as well. At times sucking it all in one end while simultaneously letting it out the other without missing a beat!


Searching for "pie plate"........................ belching



more belching...or this is close to his "fart face." I don't know why he puts his mouth this way beforehand. Tomas says this is his favorite face that Charles makes...maybe he's the one who taught him!





Looking all sweet and innocent like a little newborn baby after the dirty deeds are done!!

And of course ALL you moms AND dads are familiar with what happens when things don't go THEIR way....

Motherhood--I'm LOVING every minute of it!! Wouldn't have it any other way.
