Because I’m currently feeding her in her swing, which is a bit rough on my back. Not to worry, I have plans for a high chair, I just was putting off actually buying it because I didn’t really want to feed her. Don’t ask why, it’s some twisted Mommy crap “then she won’t need me as much and she won’t love me and I’ll be sad. She can live on just breast milk till she’s 16, right? ” Um, healthy, I say.
So I just ripped off the band aid last weekend while Daddy was home to video her first try of baby food. It was priceless. So funny. She likes sweet potatoes and today we tried bananas. Bananas were not a hit. She made the most disgusted face and let it fall off her tongue. I thought I was going to die laughing. I sort of feel that way about bananas too.
Further proof that this is my child, she LOVES the dogs. Her new thing is to bury her face in their fur, which is freaking adorable.
Karma, Teak and Dyson all seem to really enjoy the baby, Jester is still wondering when she’s going home to her real Mommy. Sorry little man, she’s here to stay. I’m sure once she can throw cheerios, Jester will be a bigger fan.
Dogs are doing well in obedience, Teak is actually making huge strides. She can take treat CALMLY. I know, crazy, huh? Jester is doing pretty good, and Karma busted out with some super fabulous heeling the other day. I did not teach her that, she spent the weekend with Lynnea and had a few revelations. Dyson is, well, Dyson.
Life with a baby is hectic, she’s started teething which has been not fun for anyone. I feel for her, I really do, but Mommy needs a drink or ten. She’s playing with toys more, which is fun. This means I’m also playing with toys more, good thing I have a good imagination. Often she just plays herself to sleep – ok, it only happened these three times and it was so cute I took a picture of it. The one in the middle, she fell asleep in Daddy’s arms watching the iTunes visualizer program. She loves the lights. Often that is the only thing that will calm her down.
That’s it for now, I have a lot more to say on a lot of subjects, but she needs me more than you do right now. Later!

That was one of the things that has surprised me the most about being a parent: The (apparently) sudden gifted ability to imagine stuff up… a game, a song, a rhyme, a solution to a problem, a momentary but successful distraction. I don’t know if that ability came when most of my pre-baby memory left (cause now there was more room in my brain) or what but I really wished I had written all of those things down, so I could have a brag book when I’m finally admitted to the asylum or just to share with my kids when they have their kids and feel unsure with their abilitlies as a parent!
