Day 123: Baby Tales

I met two cousins! And aunts too.
My older cousin has the biggest eyes and he's taller than me but I promise to catch up.
My younger cousin is still small. I shared a little bit of milk because it is Christmas. I expect adoration for doing so, of course.
I love my aunties. They gave me a pool and a felt Barney toy. Thanks lots, titas.
Lots of love, world. I still think I'm the cutest of the cute so love me back, ok?

Day 114: Baby Tales

SN1 and SN2 HAS HURT ME!!! Off to the stocks with them!!!

SN1 decided that since it was a weekend last Saturday, it was time for my weekly nail cut. She did this when I was awake and waving my hands. There was a cutting sound but no nail fell. Instead, blood welled up. I stoically bore it while she kept saying sorry over and over. There was blood. She was wailing and hugging me and then my left hand was put into a mitten. Bleh! I don’t like mittens. I have since learned to grasp the mitten with my right hand and remove them.

SN2 decided yesterday to clean my neck after my back. I was yelling all day but everyone thought it was about my hand. Didn’t they notice I didn’t cry even with all the bleeding? SN1 finally noticed my neck was all red. When she wiped it with a wet cotton ball, there was red on the cotton. I was SCRAPED!!! It hurt. Really, yesterday was a lot of hurt for me. Ugh! No wonder sleep was so hard.

Day 113: Mommy Tales

When I went into being a mom, I was very confident in my husband's ability to support me, not just financially, but emotionally, and blissfully went on my way, being bitchy when I felt like it. I guess I kind of forgot that he's a man and he will never ever understand just how hard it is to be a mother to a little baby boy.
It frustrated me quite a lot when he started going out with his friends more often than I thought he ever would. Add the fact that he started drinking and came home smelling like a seedy bar just felt wrong for me.
I tried to keep my patience but somehow, I lost control and bitched. I bitched and bitched and bitched and then I gave up.
There's a lot of faults one can attribute to the other person for any failures one experiences in a relationship. I, for one, can list a lot, a whole lot. I forgot my own faults though.
I forgot, in love, that it might be a chance to find someone, but it's a choice to stay. And love is a flower that has to be watered. I forgot and though he tried to hold on, he slipped.
I resolve not to forget to kiss him. I resolve not to forget to hug him. I resolve to try to cook for him. I resolve to smile at him. I resolve to listen to him. I resolve to laugh with him. I resolve to look at him. I resolve to take care of him.
It's a relationship. Yes, we have a child but the relationship with him is husband and wife, not father-of-my-child to mother-of-my-child. It's give and take.
I'll still push him. I'll still bitch at him. I'll still be selfish. I'll still be me. But I will love him.

Day 104: Baby Tales

SN1 has been taking me out alone. We go to malls. We even went to her office once. It was nice to be told I'm such a good baby. And people are so friendly. Of course, I talk back to them. It is good to practice communication skills. The ones who thought I'm a girl are going to pay.

Day 101: Baby Tales

I need a better camera. The above picture does not do me justice!!! An Olympus PEN PM1 will do. SN1 requests it be purple or brown.

Today is a milestone and no one noticed. Tsk! Wait till I start walking, y’all. I’ll leave all of you in the dust.

I’m trying so hard to be a good baby these days. Everything is so confusing. Drink milk. Not drink milk. Too much milk. Milk is there. Milk is gone. What? What happened to my milk? Sometimes, shocking as it is, the milk even comes to me too hot.

I’ve taken to sucking my fingers, cramming all of them in at once but my mouth is too darned cute to fit them. Also, coordination can be hard sometimes, but I am perfecting it. SN1 is wondering what exactly makes me want my small fingers in more than her attached milk faucet. Adults will never understand.

SN1 has been taking me to bed with her now that SN2 is not on day shift anymore. Yes, I understand SN2 takes up too much space on the bed for me to share it with. At least the cold nights aren't as cold with SN1 blocking the e-fan.


I've been teething for a while. Drooling, high-grade temperature and generally wanting to munch on SN1's fingers. She bought a lot of teethers for all I care about them. Ewww!!! Organic fingers work better for me. The teeth will not come out for a while.


No rashes and no other boo-boos for a while. Yay!!!

I tried not eating every 3 hours and have been holding out to up to 6 hours. It helps a lot in the not-vomiting thing. Everyone has gotten into the program except SN1 who sometimes forgets and feeds me when I cry out in the middle of the night while she's all sleepy. Hello!!!


I've started out on vitamins. I'm not sure about this. It's so unnatural. But I'll bide my time.

Where are my 100-day gifts? I need new overalls! It's getting colder now.
