Weird timing

So last night on Dexter they had his baby receiving six month booster shots. I had just done this. And like Dexter, the woman giving the shots noticed that I was rather calm while the kid took the needle. Luckily I didn't spend my afternoon hunting down John Lithgow.

spoiling time?

Now at 6 months people are whispering that I'm somehow spoiling the baby. But I don't think so. She basically wants only three things: milk, clean diapers and to be held. I don't think you can truly spoil a child until she starts to using a desire of non-essential objects as a way to make you think she's giving you love back in exchange.

for now I'll give her all the attention she craves since i get the idea that as soon as she's able to do stuff, she'll want her space.

Halfway

It's been six months since Josie was born. I'm amazed that I've been able to last this long as a stay at home dad without being taken off to the looney bin.

What do you do for a 6 month birthday? Still 20 1/2 years before she get to buy me a beer.

well last night instead of being able to enjoy the turkey sleep, I was tortured by Josie. She teased us by going to sleep around 10 p.m. We thought it'd be an easy night. But by 1:30 a.m. - she was awake and whining. And she didn't fall back asleep until 4 a.m. Then she kept waking up every hour or so until we had to leave the mother-in-law's house at 9 a.m. since they were leaving for Florida. Gran wanted to take the baby along and I was tempted to wave bye bye to Josie on her way to the sunshine state. But I couldn't do it since I do enjoy being around Gran.

Bedtime Stories

I keep reading these tales of how babies will go to bed at 9 p.m. and wake up at 9 a.m. Really? Does this honestly happen or are they written by smarmy jokesters wanting to get my hopes up? I'd have more faith in these tales if they were written by Nigerians who would send me their baby's sleep pattern and I just need to send additional hours to an address in Canada.

I don't see the kid out by 1 a.m. with the smell of pie in the air.

My Child

While watching Funny People, i realized the kid rarely looked at the TV screen when Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler were on. I should have followed her advice.

Clip job

I took the baby to Carmen for her second haircut. The bangs were over the top of her eyes. It drove Becky nuts to not see the baby's stare. It was strange to sit in the barber chair with Josie in my lap. I can't remember the last time I got a real haircut. In the 90s, I bought a trimmer and later I just shaved it off so no need for a hairstylist. But there I was holding her and getting a lap full of hair. Now she has a new haircut for the holidays. i refrained from getting her any tinting. Don't want the kid to grow up too soon even if her hair is adult
