that smell

scientific fact: Milk based baby puke smells worse than formula based baby puke.

So much for trends

My lunch break was special in the middle of the week as the baby somehow made her naptime last three hours. I could get so much done like listen to silence and not have to worry about someone yanking my keyboard. It gets so peaceful that I also get to take advantage of the naptime to nap.

sharing is caring

The baby has hit a point where when she'll attempt to stick an ice cube in my mouth after she's sucked down a few. This means I have a future assistant bartender that will keep the drinks cool.

Last night I played "Surfin' Bird" and the baby didn't freak out and panic. She just listened to it. I've lost another form of punishment. Now I need to find a new way to torture her that won't get me in trouble with social services.

Hmmmmm

When a woman keeps going on about how beautiful your baby is, does that mean she's hitting on you for at least a "donation to the turkeybaster?"

why sleeping with baby isn't cute

"The newspaper reviewed 554 autopsies from babies who died from SIDS from 2004 to 2008 and found only 25 infants were apparently sleeping safely, on their backs in their own cribs. More than 380 deaths had at least one unsafe factor, like soft bedding or sleeping with an adult or other child. Another 135 deaths didn’t have enough information for reporters to come to a conclusion."

Back with the Baby

We returned from celebrating the baby's first birthday up at the lake. Here's another tip about first birthdays - don't buy them anything for the party. see what the relatives give and get them stuff later. long as you sing "Happy Birthday," they won't know the difference,
