Yummy Baby

It has always been a risk that we eat our offspring

It has always been a risk, in a moment of lapsed concentration - feeling a little peckish, that we accidentally eat one of our babies.

The moment almost came on Sunday when I found Claire...

Disaster was averted, although I don't think that she ought to be trusted in the future.

(no babies were harmed in the making of this picture... I mean, other than the one that got himself nearly eaten)

Sleepless in Crawley

Ahhhh. Look at the lovely baby. All snug. Observe how he sleeps peacefully, content....

Now.... a few moments pass. The once content baby realises that someone has PUT HIM DOWN AND IS NO LONGER HOLDING HIM!

Feel his rage.

Dubbed

Well - no changing his name now (month 1)

One month old (and a bit, but what's twenty percent of your life!) and finally we have registered you.

In the past month :

  • Had part of your tongue cut (on purpose... honest)
  • Spent some nights wide awake and screaming for hours on end.
  • Put on lots of weight
  • Had some of your baby-hair fall out. (is that normal?)
  • Dribbled, coughed, spit, puked your own weight in milk/cheese/mucus. (yum)
  • Continued to wee on anyone that dares to change you. (this is becoming a theme)

Checklist :

  • Wee on Midwife
  • Scream for hours at a time (but mostly only at night)
  • Arch my back because I have wind and WILL NOT BURP
  • Have hair - even though I'm a newborn baby. (This freaks people out)
