Where do you begin?

No particular story post to tell, but little Andi is taking a nice afternoon nap, and I have some free time on my hands :) Oh the joy of not working!

There is one topic though that I have been thinking about - Infant messes. And cleaning them up. Even though Andi is only three months old, she's had her fair share, and the other day one of them took the cake and left me thinking - "Where do I even begin to clean this up?" :)
Most days, Andi has about 1 to 2 blowouts - nothing out of the ordinary - that's what babies do.
But, the other day I sure had a lot of cleaning to do. All before breakfast :)
It all started with a 3am feeding, when I noticed she had wiggled enough that her diaper wasn't on right anymore, so her clothes and bedding were all wet. Ok, I just change them.
Then she woke up hungry again at 6:30am, so I nursed her. But, as I lifted her to burp her all of a sudden this huge fountain of spit up splashed directly in my face, also hitting the back of the chair, and the wall behind the chair (that's like 3 feet!). I quickly turned her, but before I could do any damage control she spit up again, and a large fountain went over the arm rest of the chair, and onto the side table (soaking a tissue box, and several magazines and books) and onto the carpet floor. The cutie had such a suprised look on her face :) I then sat her on my lap so that I could at least dry off my face, when with full force she filled her diaper - and more - shooting out along her legs and up to her shoulders, soaking through her jammies leaving a big stain on my pajama pants :)
So now I was dripping, the wall was dripping, the side table was dripping, the chair and floor were wet, I had poo on my legs, and Andi was so covered in poo I didn't even know how to take her clothes off, let alone lay her down so I could start on the other stuff :)
Now, Andi is only three months old, and I know there have got to be much better stories out there :) So moms, if you feel inspired (and not too grossed out) to share, I hereby tag you to do so!

Some random pictures of the last couple of days:


Enjoying some evening sun together on the porch swing, watching dad mow the lawn (the only little bit of sun Andi gets, as I am always very very careful to cover her up - just in case she turns out as fair skinned as I am, instead of inheriting her daddy's tanning abilities :) )



Ben's first fathers day -taking a walk around Westminster (CO).

We also got our first professional family pictures taken! We were lucky that Ben's cousin Rachael (http://www.serendipitiphotography.com/) flew in from New York for a vacation, and was willing to take them :) Even though Andi wasn't the best model - hardly any smiles - I am very eager to see how they turned out - hopefully the next post!
