31 Days of Infant Photos and Musings: The Bird

bigbow

I have nothing to say today, and clearly I had nothing to say yesterday SINCE I WAS HARDLY HOME!

The life of a fourth born isn’t for the faint of heart.

I went to two soccer games and a four hour gymnastics meet yesterday.

I’m exhausted.

Mom-lady wanted to take me to the beach tonight, but I gave that idea the bird. She’s leaving me with my grandmother instead, which is totally fine with me, because the grandma-lady (the one they call “Byshka”) likes to hold me and never lay me down.

It is totes awesome.

That’s right…I said totes.

Peace out.

31DaysmdThis month, I’m linking up with The Nester for 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. If you want to receive the posts directly in your email inbox, just leave your email address in the box on the sidebar, and subscribe so you don’t miss a post!

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.

31 Days of Infant Photos and Musings: Infancy is Exhausting

Last weekend, I…

watched slept through a gymnastics practice, and two soccer games.

31Day22

I went to a friend’s house for dinner,

31Day20

and to church.

31Day27

Then I attended my first tea party, after which I sunbathed slept in the shade by the pool at my grandmother’s condo.

This is me, silently praying they don't dunk me in that ice water again...

This is me, silently praying they don’t dunk me in that ice water again…

PEOPLE!

31 Days of Infant Photos and Musings: Expelling Waste

31Day14

Did you know that it’s important to…expel waste from your body?

I’m not going to use that other word for it…you know, the word that rhymes with loop? I’m much too proper of a lady to discuss such a matter publicly. I’m a hip and classy baby, indeed.

Anyway, moving on.

If you do not expel waste in a manner that makes the grown up people around you happy, they will…do things to you. Things like feed you prune juice, or worse – suppositories.

Then they’ll sit and wait for stuff to start happening, and when it does they gag and talk about how gross it is, and you want to scream, YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU CRAZY PEOPLE!

Instead, you just get them back by expelling the waste right out of your diaper and up your back.

31Day3

Yes, it is gross.

It is my most powerful weapon.

31 Days of Infant Photos and Musings

Day1

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:

Day1.2

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…
