What Can You Do While Holding a Baby?
I've noticed myself trying to do some really ridiculous things while holding a baby. Sometimes it doesn't occur to me that I can put Penny down. Maybe it's because every time I do and she starts crying the other two girls start shouting, "Mom! Penny's crying! She's hungry!"(For some reason this annoys me more than Penny crying.) So my list of things I've done while holding Penny include cutting an apple (Yes. She still has all 10 of her cute fingers.), typing one-handed (I've gotten quite fast), sewing (the Christmas neighbor gifts had to get done somehow), loading the dishwasher, vacuuming, making dinner and drumroll please... sweeping. Yep, pretty impressive eh? One would think I'd just pull out the little baby carrier, but for some reason I don't.
Although, I've been rather impressed with myself, my neighbor is the real supermom or just plain crazy. Take your pick. She told me that she used to nurse her babies while handwashing the dishes and while driving the car. That could cause some serious sagging issues don't you think? Or more importantly an accident. Just some food for thought. :)

Hey! Where are the photos?! :) I'm betting Penny is getting so big. And laughing because I used to have my own "see what I can do one handed" tricks. Bet I couldn't do them now though.
Oh - and you sewed neighbor gifts and I wasn't around to get one?! So sad! :P
Wow, Stace. I tried the sweeping thing and just couldn't make it work...I'm impressed!
hahaha- definitely could cause some sagging problems! That was funny. I am amazed at all you get done while holding the babe! Way to go! And it is way more annoying to hear Jocelyn telling me that Miles is crying and "feed him! He needs you! He needs a diaper change! He needs..." then to just hear the crying.
