It looks I have an extra elbow, but that’s not what it is. It’s just my meat. Yep, I have meaty arms. Hard to believe all this came from a breast milk diet.

I started the morning like this, all swaddled up. I was put in my chair instead of my crib after my morning feeding. When I woke up, I was in a great mood! See? Great mood! I’m usually not a morning person, but every so often I wake up on the right side of theContinue reading “Good Mood Morning”

I was having a chat with Daddy and having a great time, laughing and smiling. Then all of a sudden my laughs changed into cries. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish one from another. They sound eerily alike at times.

Just having a lovely chat with Mommy before bedtime. We’re just telling each other about our day. Even though we spent the whole day together, it is good to go over the events. I love talking to Mommy. As you can see, I am hanging on her every word.

I know what you’re thinking, “What is that?” Well, that was the lint that was in my hand. Yep, all of that in my tiny little hand. And that is only one day’s worth. I take a bath every day and clean my hands thoroughly every day. How do I know? Because there is usuallyContinue reading “In hand”

Good news! I got my passports! Yep, plural. Two of them. I can’t wait to use them. It is a big world and there are a lot of places that I want to visit, but the place I want to go to first is Hawaii! No, not for the sunny beaches and beautiful weather. Wait,Continue reading “Passports”

Mommy and I went for a walk to the park today. The weather was so nice that it was hard to stay indoors. Even though it was really hot, the fresh air was nice. We make sure to go out for at least a little bit every day. I found that there are a lotContinue reading “Walk in the park”

Today was another great day! It was a long and busy day of learning, engaging, and fun! With so much going on during the day, exhaustion is sure to follow. When that tired, the best thing is to do is enjoy a good snuggle and sleep. (By the way, I’m talking about Daddy. But IContinue reading “Exhausted”

I enjoy my chats with Daddy while sitting in my “Daddy chair”. We talk about a lot of stuff and sometimes it is a two-way conversation and sometimes I just am happy to look at him and hear his voice. Today’s chat was the latter.

I am a very big baby. Size-wise, not in the sense that I cry about everything. I am a very big boy. Size-wise, not in the sense that I can do a lot of things on my own. I am just big. I am getting too big for Mommy’s arms. That is saying something sinceContinue reading “Big boy in Mommy’s arms”

Mommy and Daddy thought that I needed more exercise, so I went running today. Okay, that may be misleading. I had supported running practice. I’m not sure if I enjoy running around just for the sake of running or fitness. I hear that many grownups do that, but it might not be my thing justContinue reading “Running practice”

I don’t like to sleep in my crib or on my mat. My favorite place to sleep is on Mommy or Daddy. I manage to sleep in my crib at night, but during the day I usually cry the instant I’m put down, unless I am lulled into a very deep sleep, which takes someContinue reading

I am a pretty good baby. I don’t cry that much any more. I don’t fuss that much any more. Maybe I’ve just gotten use to life on the outside. More likely, Mommy and Daddy have gotten better at reading my moods and understanding my needs better. I have gotten much better at communicating, lettingContinue reading “A good cry”

I’ve been having the biggest poos in the morning! I know this is not a normal topic of conversation, but this blog exists to share, and this is me sharing. So, as I was saying, I’ve been having some major morning movements. I often poo when I nurse, a bit of a input-output thing. I’veContinue reading “Morning Movement”

Since I am a baby, I spend the majority of the day asleep. Sometimes it is a peaceful sleep, and sometimes it is restless. Sometimes it is a long sleep, and sometimes it is a short nap. Sometimes I sleep with a lot of body movement, and sometimes I sleep with a lot of facialContinue reading “Faces of sleep”

According to books and online resources, there are some tells to help parents understand their baby’s moods and status. One that I heard was that babies hands are clenched when hungry and open when sated. Well, since I am in a food coma and my hands are open, I guess you could say that I’mContinue reading “Hunger sated”

I heard of thing called “man boobs”, where men have ample chests. (Don’t ask me why I heard of them. I’m online, I hear and see things a two-month old shouldn’t.). Anyway, I think I got them. I’m not a man yet, so let’s call them “baby boy boobs”. Oops. It looks like the picturesContinue reading “Baby boy boobs”

Tummy time is a lot of work. It requires a lot of effort and it gets kind of hot exerting all that energy. So, sometimes it feels better to do tummy time topless. It also gives you all the opportunity to admire my muscles! Those rolls and crease in my arms are muscles, right? Hmmm?Continue reading “Tummy Time: Topless”

Daddy seems to be waiting eagerly for the day I can talk to him. We have our daily chats in my Daddy chair, where I participate in the conversation by making a variety of noises at the right conversation intervals. But sometimes that is not enough for Daddy, and he wants me to actually speakContinue reading “Ventriloquism”

I woke up at 6 this morning in a pretty good mood. I wasn’t hungry or sad or anything when I woke up. I just needed to burp. So I called Daddy. I have gotten pretty good about not crying for any old reason. In the middle of the night, if I need Mommy orContinue reading “Early riser”
