Wigglekins

I lay Molly Rose on her back this morning for some wiggle time.  When I came back five minutes later from the kitchen, she had jiggled her way diagonally to the opposite end of the carpet. I think she was looking for the door.

Baby battle

This morning at 7:00 a.m., beside Mummy and Daddy’s bed: Jamie:       I see baby? Mummy:    Sure, Jamie.  Come onto the bed and say hi to Molly. Jamie:       Hiiiiiyeeeeeee babiiiiieeeeeeee!

Super coos and man-sized burps

Molly Rose is at the coo-ing stage, and I can’t get enough of it.  The moment you step into her line of vision, she starts to smile and sing.  Her coos are sweet and delicate, just like her. Her burps, however, are another matter entirely.  You can hear her burps from across the other side [...]

Another thing I love about babies…

You can pretty much do anything to a baby – plop a pair of moose ears on them, have them “talk” about poop in a Churchill-like voice, or bop them around in a ludicrous baby dance – and they’ll have that same, accepting look on their faces as when you burp them, nurse them, or [...]
