I can’t believe how much work it is being a baby. I work so hard that I have to constantly take naps. One of the things thing I’ve learned is if you put your lower lip just over your upper lip into kind of a pouty look the parents will pick you up instantly. You don’t even have to actually cry. They think it’s cute. It’s best to save the crying for when the pouty look doesn’t work.
Now, you are probably asking yourself “Why would I even want those people to hold me?”. Think about it, dumbass! ( I know I shouldn’t say those bad words but my Noni says this particular one all the time.) Would you really want to be lying on your back all day in a giant crib with only a stupid mobile for company? The answer is no!! I know I would be bored to tears. At least when they are holding you, you can look around. I wish that stupid teenager who held me the other day would have supported my head a little better. I had a sore neck for two days.
My Noni likes to exercise my legs. She moves them back and forth and at the same time sings some silly song. I’d like to see someone do that to her. She’d quit singing really fast.
Oh, the next person who pinches my cheek gets spit up on. I also wish they would stop with the baby talk. I can’t understand a word they’re saying. I don’t understand why everyone’s voice goes up about ten octaves as soon as they see me.
It’s so much work trying to communicate with everyone. I’m learning to not only cry but scream. You ought to see them run to me when I do that. It’s hilarious, though I am still trying to figure out how to laugh. I’ve got the smiling thing down. They will do almost anything to get me to crack a smile.
Oh, I’ve got to go. Time for a nap.

You know what, Lilah? You’re doing pretty well for an 8-week-old. I think you’ve got a few things sussed, and they’re things that usually take other babies a lot longer to figure out. Like the pouting thing. You’ve got the right idea there
Oh, and high pitched voices must be REALLY annoying! I am going to think twice next time I speak to a baby. I’ll keep my voice at a normal frequency!

Hey, Lilah, you need to talk to whoever puts those funny cushion things by your ears. They haven’t shown you yet what a mirror is, have they? Boy will you be mad when you get bigger and see that picture.
Even madder if they show it to your boyfriend. Maybe that’s their plan. Shhhh. Don’t let them know you’re on to them.
Enjoy that Noni of yours and tell her I said hi. I hope you two are having lots of fun together.
PS – Love your new header. Looks like you’re saying “peace out” to the world.

Make sure you get your money’s worth of the pouty thing! It starts to lose it’s effect especially when you hit your teens!
I love your little Red Sox shirt! And I see you have a bouncy chair, my youngest loved her bouncy chair when she was little.

Oh Lilah, how precious you are. I love your stories and loved the noni singing one! LOL!! Take advantage while you can, it does wear out. Give your noni a break once in a while. She does have some farming to do.
