warning - fawning mother post

[realnobiki]

i haven't killed the baby yet, which makes me happy considering how much i'm doing 'wrong' (co-sleeping, soy formula, tummy sleeping, delaying and selective vaccinations, etc.). my shoulders were aching from schlepping him around, so i decided to weigh him.

from 8lbs to 12lbs in one month. yikes.

OMG SO CUTE! Wow, seriously! That's one heck of an adorable kidlet. You can totally see the smile just about to happen in the eyes.

[realnobiki]

he is a little stinker. he hides his smiles, and when he does smile, he looks the other way.

and, oi, no more knife juggling, okay? that was scary.

[nezumiko]

Haha! Okay. today I successfully sliced a roll with no bloodshed. :D

What a little angel! Congrats, you two!

[realnobiki]

thanks! not sure angel is the word, some days, but he's certainly not devil child. i already raised that one *grin*.

[realnobiki]

it kills me that back when, docs told me put kiddo on his side or stomach, and of course he would ONLY sleep on his back.

now, completely opposite. *sigh*

we're doing soy formula as a preemptive thing. kiddo is allergic, manthing is vegan, it made sense to just do soy straight off. sadly, gelfling can't tolerate powder formula... can you say OMG how much $$$ are we spending just to feed you???

babayz know to wait for the flash of the camera to smile and to hold off until you're wearing you're last/only/best shirt before spewing all over it. impeccable timing, the clever hellions :D

i have to preach all that 'proper parenting' crap at work, but honestly, people have managed to survive for thousands of years doing those exact things so don't let anyone stress you over it.

[realnobiki]

yeah, i try not to stress. actually, the only thing that REALLY got me was breastfeeding, 'cause i was all 'dammit what's wrong, it wasn't this hard the last time!'

so i quit :D yay, i'm a quitter!!!

every time i find myself mimicking the annoying unicorns while talking to gelfling, i think of you. yaaay, charlie, we're going to candy mountain, charlieeee....

BABAY BABAY BABAY omg.. such a cute babay! He looks so mischevious XD

[realnobiki]

he's not, yet, but yes, i see it lurking. i fear for my future.

but you would know, having the little vaseline painter in your house.

or am i confused and that wasn't you? no, i'm pretty sure it was.
