This is what happens when we try to do tummy time.
Girlfriend is tired. All. The. Time. Some people might hear this and say, "Wow, what a good, quiet little baby you have!" And they would be right. I do have a really good baby. But consider this: What if I'm just really boring? Or even worse, what if she's just not into the showtunes I sing to her all the day long and she'd simply rather stare at the back of her eyelids? Could I possibly have given birth to someone who doesn't feel the same way about Julie Andrews as I do? As Cinderella (played by the lovely Lesley Ann Warren circa 1965) would say sing, "Impossible!" I'm pretty sure she's just really tired....right?
In other news, Walden is officially out of her newborn size diapers. Unfortunately, she's not quite filling out her Size 1's either. This makes life very interesting for us because diapers are not an item of clothing that you want to be blousy. First of all, it does nothing for the figure. Second of all, things can get messy very quickly and unexpectedly. Like when you're...say...strolling through the greeting card section at Target. Here is my suggestion to the makers of Huggies: either make a plus size newborn diaper for those with a little more junk in the trunk or a slimmer size 1 for more delicate frames. Otherwise, I'll have to get out the duct tape.

| baby got back? |
I can totally relate to the dirty disasters in the store... said the mom who cleaned up pee in the bank yesterday. In other news, I'm sure Walden is so sleepy because she's saving up to bust out with "How Lovely to be a Woman" any day now. She is my kind of gal.
ReplyDeleteIf she could just sleep right through the 2 AM feeding, we'd all be better off.
ReplyDeleteBTW...Mom was not impressed last night when I started singing a variation of Metallica's Enter Sandman when Walden started to fall asleep. "Sleep with one eye open; gripping your paci tight; Exit light; Enter night." ;-)
Nice choice James.
ReplyDeleteJamie, my suggestion here is to enjoy this time when she finds you boring.....soon she will be demanding you entertain her every second of the day and no one will be able to do it just as good as you, giving you zero breaks. :)
She's changed so much already! MORE. PICTURES. PLEASE. :)
I love your posts - you hit the nail on the head AND make me laugh. I'd give up on Huggies - they NEVER fit my kids right. Try Pampers Swaddlers - worked better for us! I can't believe how big she looks already - when do we get to meet her? Can we come visit one weekend this fall?
