{ You Know You're a Mommy If...}

I've been thinking lately about all the things that have changed since Wyatt has come into our lives and thought about all those little list type things people have. Like, "You Know You're a Redneck If..." "You Know You Grew Up In Idaho If...," etc. and thought of ones about being mothers. I found a pretty funny list at Lisa Jo Baker's website here but I decided to take that and compile my own list that applies to me right now with my little almost 4 month old.

Here it goes...
