Seriously. And how are they so damn witty? I can’t seem to find the time to sit and write, and even if I did, my brain is the equivalent of rice pudding.
And I really want to tell you about the funny (funny-peculiar, not funny-haha) things I’ve been doing lately. Like when I thought it would be fun to read a book to Whoorlito, stuck a big colorful page right in his face, and experienced my baby’s first scared-out-of-his-mind freak out.
Note to self- do NOT stick big colorful busy objects in infant’s face. It apparently is very disturbing to infant.
Y’all. A nine-pound being is running my life. I can’t even go to the bathroom without wondering if he is going to fuss while I’m peeing. And he’s not even that fussy! He’s just got a wicked internal radar that alerts him when I start to leave the room. It never fails.
My mother left this morning after helping me for a week and a half. It was so fabulous and helpful and I’m so sad she’s gone because today it’s just me and the super pooper.
SHIT…he DOES have internal radar super powers! Everytime I start writing an entry he wakes up from his nap. Is he emitting a hunger fuss/grunt or is he relieving himself of some mustard custard (thanks Caroline)? Who knows…it’s all a crapshoot around here. Literally.
Wait, he’s back to sleep. Okay, now he’s smiling. Crying now. Face is turning very red. Furrowing his brows. Annnndddd, back to sleep.
What the fuck.
All in all, how could you be mad at this sweet thing?

I’m sure you guys will fall into a rhythm soon.

August 28, 2006 at 2:54 pmI hear ya. It’s hard to blog or surf or even go take a shower with an infant! By 8 weeks they start sleeping more at night and then you’ll have more time to yourself.

August 28, 2006 at 3:32 pmOmigosh, he is so tiny and sweet and perfect! Aaaaand… now I am even more impatient for my last 9 weeks to be done. Bah.
I found your site somehow a while ago… right in time for your last entry, I think. I have no words of advice (since I’m expecting my own first, at the moment) but seems to me that if he’s THAT sweet and quiet and perfect-looking, you MUST be doing something right – unsupervised trips to the potty notwithstanding.

don't call me ma'am

August 28, 2006 at 7:23 pmHe’s so sweet – I don’t believe he cries!
And I employ the same tactic as gorillabuns. Just wait until my #3 arrives though…newborns are a lot more hands on. Looking forward to the mustard custard once again – thanks for the reminder :)

August 28, 2006 at 9:48 pmOhhhh, look at him! So perfect.
I found time to blog while Sam nursed and when he’d sleep on me (because moving him was guaranteed to wake him up, screaming). I can type very fast with one hand. Now that he is all grown up (three months) I occasionally get to type with two hands.

August 29, 2006 at 5:55 amI don’t think I could ever be mad at something that sweet. I think pictures like that totally excuse you from posting regularly, and get my husband upset because I start bugging him about a baby again.

August 29, 2006 at 6:42 amWelcome to motherhood! They become more able to spend time in a room without you when they turn about 2 1/2, which is about the time most of us jump back in the baby pool. Brilliant, huh?! He’s beautiful and someday you’ll be able to have a complete thought again.

He’s a super hero already.
