Hi all.
Annika here.
I’m dictating my thoughts on life to the mom-lady telepathically while I nurse.
THAT’S RIGHT. I AM THAT GIFTED!
This is how I usually look when I’m giving the mom-lady the 4-1-1 on this thing called living:
To the untrained eye, I look like any other sleeping baby, but really I am a ninja of the mind. This is just my disguise.
Incidentally, I’m also hungry all the time, which means mom-lady and I are basically attached to one another. This gives me ample amounts of time to let her know all about how life is rolling along as I see it.
This mom-lady is actually handy to have around because all I have to do is let out a short wail and she’s at my beck and call. It’s awesome. So far it’s the best thing about living on the outside.
Eight days ago, I was wrapped tight in a cocoon. It was quiet and safe. No one poked me or stuck thermometer in my rear end (that was…different), or expected me to sleep for hours on end without nourishment.
Life on earth is scary.
But mom-lady is nice. So’s the guy they call “dad.” I like how he smells, but he doesn’t give me food, so he’s not my number one favorite. I have a feeling, though, that someday he will be super fun to hang around.
There are also three other people in this house with us. And a dog, but the dog ignores me, which is fine by me because from my vantage point she is just a giant hairy monster waiting to eat my face off.
I think I’m going to like the other three people, too. They kiss on me a lot, which is nice. Everybody likes to be kissed, right?
So for the next 31 Days, I’m going to be sharing what life looks like from my viewpoint. And mom-lady will be sharing pictures, because from what I can deduce, one of her hands has a built in camera attached to it.
My mom might be a robot…
Join me in this 31 Day series as I survive the newborn haze of sleepless nights, endless nursing, and squeezing in life in twenty minute increments throughout the day.

I’ll share photos every day, some of them good, and some of them mediocre, because baby leaves me little time to worry about taking and editing the perfect photos.
I’ll also be sharing my daughter’s thoughts, as dictated to me telepathically while she nurses, because she has informed me that she is a mind ninja, and I am merely her portal to the outside world.
Her words, not mine.

I can’t wait to read how things go. My newest just turned 6 months old, and it’s the first time I have gotten to nurse my little one so much. ( I have 3 others)
It’s a lot of work, but it’s awesome, isn’t it? 🙂
Well, I dig ninjas so this is going to be great fun.
She’s very good at what she does…
I love the idea of sharing the daughter’s thoughts. It’s really awesome and funny. Mom-lady, you stay being creative at any time and in all conditions. You are just the best!!!
Back atcha, my friend!
Gaaaaah! 🙂 So excited! I love baby photos!
Ha! Me, too! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
How lovely! My 6 month old son isn’t quite so vocal, so I look forward to learning what your daughter to say! 🙂
Haha! She has LOTS to say. 😉
What a sweetheart! I look forward to seeing your posts :).
Thanks, Anita!
