From The Mouth Of A Baby

Mom had to work yesterday and dad was there to take care of me. He decided that we were just going to lie on the couch and watch TV. He was watching some show and taping it so my mom could watch it when she got home. That is so nice of him to do.

It was funny how I fell asleep in the car the night before and woke up in my bed. I still don’t know how that happen, but I am hoping that someone lets it slip so I find out. I was just so happy to be home where no one was grabbing me and wanting to hold me.

A friend of dads came over and they were talking about football and hockey. My dad must like these things a lot because he watches everything on TV and even my grandma is going to tape hockey games for him a couple weeks. He likes the Redwings I heard him say.

My dad just talks away to people and I listen so I learn what he likes so when I grow up, I will know what to expect. I think I will be in sports if he has his way. I would like to lie around on the couch like mom does. It looks like fun.

I was getting ready to be blue all day Saturday on Friday so I could not share my story. See, we had a wedding to go to on Saturday, yesterday, and I did not think this was going to be any fun for me. I was right of course. People I never met wanted to hold me and touch me and I was scared. I wanted nothing to do with this wedding or the people.

Some were relatives that I never seen, but I still was going to cry because I didn’t want all these people touching me. My mom and dad were so proud of me that they wanted everyone to hold me. I thought that by crying they would understand, but someone said that I was just an unsociable little girl. Some said I was not a people baby.

I was so offended. People are always talking about me right in front of me. The nerve of these people. They think that I can’t understand, but wait until I grow up.

It was an hour drive home and mom got me ready for bed before we left so I could sleep all the way home. I felt asleep because it was dark outside. I woke up at night and I was in my bed. How did that happen?

Here is some link luv for today.

I have been learning more and more things every day, but yesterday I learned that if you cry to long and won’t be quite for nothing, my mom will put me down and call someone to come and help. I guest I should stop doing that because I only want my mom.

Now I am no expert, but the girl that came over was not very smart. She picked me up and tried to rock me to sleep. I believe she thought she was helping but I did not want to go to sleep. I had an itch and I could not get anyone to scratch me. All I needed was a scratching and I would have stopped crying.

Now dad came home, he rubbed my back and tickled my tummy, and he got the itch. I was so happy that I stopped crying and now mom thinks he is a miracle worker. I just did not know how to tell mom what to do. I am glad my dad knew what to do.

The rest of the night I was good as gold. I think mom was a little upset about me not crying once dad came home, but she didn’t ask me what was wrong. I wish I could have told her I had a itch that would not stop. Tomorrow will be a better day I hope.

Mom always tells me the weather is going to be. I think it is because she likes to hear herself talk. I know she thinks she is talking to me, but I don’t care about the weather unless we are going out for the day. I am more about what grandma is bringing me or grandpa coming to visit.

Grandpa and my other grandma came over and he played with me. He makes funny faces and calls me a pumpkin. The other grandma keeps taking pictures of me. She said that everyone wants to see me. They should come and visit mom and me then she would not have to talk to just me all the time.

I had a bad day anyway after everyone left. I must have had an upset tummy because I was pooping real bad. Mom called it diarrhea. I went through a lot of diapers and clothes. I was a mess. I have a feeling that mom was getting a little upset changing me all the time. I think it was the cat’s fault. I am still trying to get rid of that cat.

Mom was talking to dad and said that we are under an air quality alert. It seems that now she wants to keep me in the house today. It said that people with breathing problems or asthma should be less active. I think I can say that I am breathing just find. Dad has a cold so I think he should stay in the house. But, my dad went to work anyway. He said he has to feed my little mouth.

So now you know it, my dad cannot say home with mom and me because I need to eat. He is really sick and I think he should stay home and get better. I have not gotten sick from him so mom and I are happy. Let the money keep pouring in because I am going to be expensive, I just feel it.

I already know that I need some things when I get a little bigger. I saw that other baby with new shoes, but I don’t like shoes still. I want my feet to be free. Mom doesn’t even try to put shoes on me anymore. She doesn’t like shoes either so she understands. She says that grandma never has shoes on either. She says that grandma never even gets dressed most of the time because she works at home.

When I grow up, I am going to work at home like my grandma.

Adventures With Baby

I got a new Jumperoo today from my grandma, but I will have to get a little bigger before I can use it. I sit in it and jump up and down or a can spin the seat around and play with different toys that are on it. I think I will have fun with this thing. I have the mat that lies on the floor with toys hanging and I like that.

I have a lot of things that is making the living room smaller. Mom moved the fish tank to a different place so now that cat’s condo is on the wall by the chair that mom and I sit in. Now that cat can lay up there and look down on me. I am not quite sure I agree with this new move.

I look around my home and see so many things that I will be able to play with once I start getting around better. There are two litter boxes, cat and dog food, water dishes and I see cable cords. Dad said I would not be getting into anything. He told mom that they would have to put up baby gates. I wonder what a baby gate is and how will it stop me.

Um, I love getting bigger. I cannot wait until I can see what else there is to do in this house.

My mom went back to work and now dad gets to take care of me all by himself again. Mom makes my bottles ahead of time so that all he has to do is warm it up and give it to me. He must change my diapers also. He is getting very good at this. I love spending time with my daddy. I did miss my mom, but she was home before I went to bed.

I stayed up late so I could see her when she came home. She looked tired, but she still wanted to hold me. She told dad about her day and it seems that she had to work really hard. She said that she is only going to work a few days a week and only when my dad can take care of me. I like that because I will not need something they called a babysitter.

I wonder what a babysitter is and why they don’t want to get one for me. Do you know what a babysitter is? Can you tell me what it is and is it a good thing or a bad thing?

I was such a good girl for dad. He told mom I was an angle. He said he loves taking care of me and looks forward to doing it more.

I am just a little person, but when I want something, I have to cry for anyone to notice me or do something for me. When I cry, I sure know what I want. When I whimper, it usually means I want to be picked up. Mom and dad got this one down pat. When I cry uncontrollably, I usually want a diaper change and my bottle. Mom is good with this one. Dad has some learning to do yet. He usually confuses the diaper with the bottle scream. We sure go through a lot of diapers when he cares for me.

Then I have my over tired cry. This usually does not stop until mom puts that sucking thingy in my mouth and I relax enough to fall asleep. I have to wonder why there is no book or something that people can read so that they know what my cries are all the time. It is hard to train mom and dad. I heard mom talking about me getting shots and teeth. Some lady told her I will cry when I get teeth. I will be happy to have teeth, eat real food, and bite people, why would I cry about that.

I think the dog even knows what my cries mean. He comes running to me all the time when I cry. He really understands me now. Visitors are funny when I cry. If they are holding me and I cry, they give me back to my mom or dad. I got that one perfect. Dad said I am going to be a stinker when I grow up.

Mom decided yesterday to take the dog and me for a walk by herself. I am not sure if she will ever do that again. When I get moving, I like to keep moving and that dump dog likes to stop and smell everything. We had to stop at every tree so he could smell it. Now I am a patient baby sometimes, but this was my time and no dog was going to make us stop when I like to keep moving. I whimpered a lot during the walk, well, okay, I cried a lot during the walk.

It was a nice day out and I wanted to enjoy myself. We did stop and talk to another baby’s mom. I don’t think my mom knew her, but they talked about baby’s crying during their walks. How rude to discuss my problem with some stranger. I was trying. It was the dogs fault. I hope we can take more walks without the slow dog.

When we were sitting on the couch, the cat jumped up by us and mom took my hand and made me touch it. Yikes, it has hair or something all over its body. It was kind of soft and silky feeling. Mom said I looked so cute petting the cat. Is that what she was doing with my hand? After we were done petting the cat, she washed my hand. What is up with that? Make me pet something dirty and then wash my hand. Why make me do it then?

I can’t wait to see what she makes me do tomorrow for her entertainment and the animals.

Yes, it is official. I find the formula I am drinking yucky. Mom said I have to stop throwing up on my nice new clothes or they will be stained. So why do they make things to drink if they make you throw up. Why does mom keep giving it to me if I am just going to throw up on myself? I see a problem here. If she does not want me to get sick on my new clothes, shouldn’t she stop giving it to me?

I think maybe I should start having the food that mom and dad eat because they never throw up when they eat. I would be happy to eat and not get sick. I don’t think my mom is thinking very hard about this problem. The doctor said that they could change my formula, but since I don’t do it all the time, I will be alright. That is easy for him to say, he is not the one doing it.

Have you ever tasted this stuff? It tastes horrible. Dad tasted one day and he made a face and said a bunch of words. I guess he didn’t like it either. Then why keep giving it to me the baby you love so much. I guess when I get older I will understand, but right now I am fed up with throwing up when I eat.

I am having much better days because I am getting older and more adapt with my surroundings. Well that is what one lady told my mom. What does she know, I don’t even know her. People talk about me as if I am not even here. Wait until I am older and talk about them while they are listening. I think they should start watching their words to, because I am learning a new vocabulary.

Here is some Link Luv thingies mom told me about. I loved them when mom was reading them.
