I'm cute when I poop.

I've been pretty quiet on here lately because I'm pending less time at the boobie and more time curious about my surroundings!  There are just so many things to see I hate to waste a single moment!

Yesterday was a pretty bad day, Mamma and Papa took me to the doctor where they weighed me and measured how long I am.  I weigh 13 pounds now, and measure in at 24 inches!  This means I put on nearly five pounds since I came home from the hospital, no wonder Papa complains when I make him hold me for hours!

I have a new friend and her name is Nini, I spent a few hours over at her place on Friday night.  It would have been like a date but we didn't pay attention to each other!!  I sure slept good that night though!!  Mamma smelled funny when they picked me up, and when we got home she didn't let me have any boobie, I just got another bottle.  I didn't complain though, as long as I can have what comes out of them I'm all good!

I figured out how to get Papa do do my bidding!  Sometimes I sit in the swing next to the computer, but if I start to fuss Papa will spin the mobile for me, and when it stops I just have to fuss some more and he does it again!!  It is SO COOL!  I have THE POWER!

I'm getting tired of having cameras in my face all the time though.  Geez, what am I, Russel Crowe or something?

I'm sleepy, I think I'll have a snack and fall asleep on Mamma's boobie.

Yesterday was super fun! Papa was "working from home" and one of Momma and Papa's friends came over to see me! We made faces at each other and I really liked her. I hope I get to see her again soon!

After we all had lunch Papa left do something and we all went to pick him up a little while later. Then we went to The Coolest Place EVAR! There's this huge um, what is it..."park" near our house, and they stopped the car and pulled me out even though I was blissfully sleeping, so I realized I was just starving to death and let them know in my trademark loud way, but they ignored me and put me in my stroller while mumbling something about a "bench" and a "view" I yelled at them for a good long while until Mama took me out of my stroller and carried me on her shoulder.

I soon forgot my hunger. What amazing things there are to see in this brand new world of mine! There were giant trees and sunshine filtering through the lofty boughs, there were neat swooshing sounds of the wind in them, and I was on my Mama's shoulder while she walked through this shady wonderland, she even blocked the sunshine from my eyes when it poked between the trees! I was so full of wonder I was afraid to close my eyes in case I missed something!

But they turned around and eventually put me back in the car, and I yelled some more because I remembered that I still hadn't eaten in at least an hour...don't they know that I'm just starving to death here? Anyway, we soon parked again and this time there weren't so many shady spots, but I was in my stroller so both the view and the sun were blocked from me, but eventually we ended up on the steps of an old abandoned church and the sky was open and unobscured by trees, and the wind gently blew while Mama finally fed me. They kept saying stuff about the view and the Olympics and how beautiful it was.



Apparently the City of Seattle is slating this park for redevelopment. It's really sad that I will probably never have tangible memories of this place.

Today Mommy left me alone with Dad because she had to go to the dentist. I was sleeping on the bed and I was suddenly lifted and taken downstairs without my usual hour of sucking on her milk-filled boobies. I was not happy about this so I cried until Dad gave me a bottle, which I gulped down in approximately 12 seconds.

Dad had an important meeting on the computer, so he decided to try and keep me quiet in his lap while he was on the phone with some boring people who were droning on and on about revenue and d metrics and other things I could not understand.

After a few minutes I decided that I needed his complete attention and started to scream my head off until he apologized to his co-workers, put the phone on 'mute' and picked me up to calm me down. Everyone saw me on his webcam and said "awww" and thought I was very cute. Dad was very happy, until 5 seconds later when I simultaneously burped a mouthful of milk in his lap and filled my diaper with a giant poop. Good thing the phone was muted!

Dad later said it was so stinky the people on the phone could probably smell it too.

Everyone saw Dad jump up and rush to change me.  After a few minutes we went back to the computer and as soon as it was Dad's turn to talk I decided it was time to take another giant poop. He couldn't get away at this point because he was on camera, and I could see him talking through clenched teeth as my pee and poo were slowly dribbling down my leg and onto his lap. I had a lot of fun, but as soon as he was done talking he jumped up to change my diaper and his pants.  He doesn't appreciate my bowel movements as much as I do. He had to cut the meeting short and hoped that nobody took important business decisions as he was busy wiping my butt.

Then he put me in the car seat and took me to meet Mommy -- we drove to the McDonald's parking lot on Madison, and they exchanged cars and he went to work as I drove back home with Mommy. Life is so exciting!

Momma just made me a mobile out of folded paper cranes!  She hanged it over my moses basket in the computer room, so when Momma or Papa is using the computer and I'm in my basket I can see the pretty colors.  I really like to stare at it and wave my arms and legs in the air!

It's yellow, purple, pink, blue, red, bright green, magenta and lavender!

Also?  I've been on Momma's boobie ALL DAY!  Life is good!

I'm Henry!  I'm three and a half weeks old!  I spend a lot of time at Momma's boobie and sometimes I get a little bored, so since Momma likes LJ so much I thought I'd join so I can keep entertained while I'm eating.  Sometimes I spend hours and hours at the boobie so it's good to have some other things to do!

So far my schedule is: 

7 a.m.  wake up to Momma's boobie, whether I need it or not.  I think sometimes she needs to feed me as much as I need her to feed me.  We're quite a pair!

9 a.m.  go back to sleep on Momma's chest

11 a.m.  wake up to Momma's boobie again. 

1 p.m.  Hang out with Papa in the office while he works!  I love this part, if only he had boobie though.  Then it would be perfect!

1:30 p.m.  NAPTIME!

4 p.m.  BOOBIE!  then nap.

6 p.m.  Sometimes I like to play in the afternoons.  I like to play on my gym mat thingy or hang out in the swing, or look at myself in the bathroom mirror.  I also like to admire the steak shower curtain!  I like to go outside too.  It's nifty in the yard!

6:30 p.m.  I generally like to scream bloody murder at about this time until Momma relents and gives me the boobie again.  Then nap.

10:30 p.m.  We're usually downstairs in the Manroom watching teevee at this point, not that I notice because I've been at the boobie for four hours and I don't really notice anything else.  I like to fall asleep at Momma's boobie about now, and I sleep like the dead.

1:00 a.m.  They drag me upstairs and put me in the bassinet all by myself, which is sometimes entertaining but not for long, so I start howling while they're doing something, I don't know what! 

1:30 a.m. BOOBIE!

3:00 a.m.  I scream when they turn out the lights, then they shush me and I scream louder, then they swaddle me and shush me and I scream some more!  This is the fun part!

4:00 a.m.  Sleepytime.  I don't like it.

7:00 a.m.  Boobie!
