From The Mouth Of A Baby

It was Friday yesterday and there was nothing to do. It was a little warmer, but we decided to stay in and mom cleaned. I didn’t think this was so much fun and watching her was no picnic for me either. I don’t know why she thinks I want to watch her clean. I would rather have my mom hold me. She sure did stop cleaning when I let out a loud cry. This crying thing really works well. My mom and dad come running every time.

You know my dad is working third shift again, so he is gone at night and home during the day. But, he sleeps all day long. I don’t know how he can sleep when it is light out. He plays with me a little and then says good night. I guess this is going to work out better for mom working because now dad will be there all the time to take care of me.

I am going to get baby photos done soon. My mom was talking to my grandma and they think I need some professional pictures done. The baby pictures will go to all my mom’s friends and some family. Why can’t they come and see me if they want to see what I look like? People just don’t want to visit me anymore. Maybe it was the crying thing.

I hear mom and dad talking about Sara Palin and I don’t know who this is. They are saying things like she isn’t going to win and she doesn’t know what she talking about, but I don’t even know her. They say that she has a baby, but who is she? No one tells me anything.

We have the new car now. We picked it up today and dad paid the insurance. I guess we are going to be going places now that mom has a new car. I wonder why dad didn’t get a new car? He likes what he has he told mom. He said that there is plenty of room for me if he takes me somewhere.

It was a cold day, but mom showed me that the leaves are changing colors. They are looking purple. Mom said that was because they are cold. She talks so silly. I have to find out why they are really changing colors. I don’t think it is because they are cold.

The dog had to go to the vet for shots. When he came home, he wasn’t crying. When I got my shot I cried so much. That dog made me look bad. He walked in the house like nothing had happened. I will have to have a talk with him later.

You heard it right. Mom wanted a new car so they took me along in the cold and we looked at cars. They tested a Chevy something. It is highly rated for safety so dad said his insurance would be low. If we would have an accident, this big balloon would come out at me. That looked scary. That was the test-driving day and then dad talked to man about money. Mom and I were bored. Mom just wanted a new car to drive with me in it.

Then it was back home for some warm formula and I threw up on myself again. Well at least I have stopped pooping out my diaper. I am getting better at doing a little at a time. Then mom changes me and I poop a little more. It takes about three diaper changes for me to finish. I bet mom just loves me so much now that I figured out how to do it a little at a time.

Dad went to see my grandma. He goes over there and washes his clothes and I think she feeds him. Maybe he will bring something home for mom again like he did the last time. She likes the tator tot dish and pepperoni pizza. Moms said that the washing machine in this building sucks. I don’t know what that means but I think it is bad. Dad said that it takes three dollars to dry one load of clothes. It that bad or good?

I wish they would explain things to me since I am new around here.

It is getting colder out and we don’t have the windows open anymore. I liked the smell of the air, but mom told dad that she has to pile the clothes on me when the windows are open. I get so hot when she makes me wear so many heavy clothes. She just wears a t-shirt and shorts. I can’t figure her out. I have a long sleeve shirt on and long pants, plus some socks. I still refuse to let mom put shoes on my feet.

I am having a problem figuring out what time it is now because it is getting darker out earlier and it is confusing me. I used to know when mom and dad ate that we had hours to do things before dark. Now, after mom and dad eat it is dark and we can’t take walks together. I heard mom saying that daylight savings time is coming soon then it will get dark even earlier. This is going to mess me up big time.

The cat got out yesterday and I was smiling. Mom was not happy, she had to catch it and bring it back in the house. I think she should have let it go. I don’t think it wants to live with me as much as I don’t want to live with it. It is a nosey critter. It always wants to smell me and tries to push me out of the way when my mom is holding me. I will get that cat some day.

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.
