Friday, January 23, 2004 ( 10:42 AM ) Lostcheerio I've been woefully neglecting the blog because looking at the computer screen means I can't look at Sadie. Very troubling. But this MUST not be, because little Burpins has TINY FEETS that wave around in very STICKLIKE FASHION and the Burpins of the future must be informed how the Burpins of today waves its TINY FEETS like the TWO FLAGS OF BURPINLAND! *sigh* I *LOOOOOVE* my baby. :) She's a NIIIIIICE baby. :) Last night she fell asleep in Daddy's arms at about 10:00, woke up at 3, nursed, went back to sleep, woke up at six, nursed, went back to sleep, woke up at eight. There were various poops and diapers in there somewhere, but the main point of it all is, the baby comprehends that NOW IT'S DARK and WE ARE IN BED means SLEEP. Fascinating. Right now she's sleeping again, she had an exciting morning watching Benny do his number line and math class. And also making Burpins and Poopins. Now she's all wrapped up in her blankets and in her bouncy seat. OK UPDATE: At the doctor's office on Wednesday, she weighed 9 pounds and 2 ounces, so she has more than regained her birth weight and is doing GREAT! The doctor was well pleased with everything and pronounced her "very alert" and "on top of things." She spend most of the appointment in her diaper, with her arms and legs frozen in STARTLE! position, or, stretched out all sticklike and alarmed, and her eyes searching around with keen interest. :) SHE IS NICE. The doctor agreed she is the prettiest girl ever, including his own wife and children. Well, okay, no, but, he did comment that she is SHOCKINGLY ATTRACTIVE. It's funny I read an article once when Benny was a baby about how we gender-ify our children by telling girl babies they're pretty and telling boy babies they're smart or good or big. Whatever. I'm also going to give her a Barbie the first chance I get, thereby letting the gender stereotypes straight in the front door. What care I? She's clearly a staggering genius and a great beauty so why worry? Peh, I say. If I want to call her "PITTY DURL, PITTY PITTY DURL OF PITTY PITTINESS" all day, WHAT CARE I? *BEAM* Ain't I earned it? Ain't I? # |
