Finding Zen

Punkin Town

They are telling me your head is in the 90th percentile - while your height and weight are 10%.  I have no frickin idea who you get this from. 

Talk to your dad.

White Flag, Where Art Thou?

You just don't nap.  Not gonna do it.  Wouldn't be prudent.

And I need to get over it.  Figure out how to better maximize results in 40 minute windows.  Become a better mulit-tasker.

Because at 8 months you have not 'grown in' to longer naps like THEY all promised me.  I've tried everything to help you HELP ME (we aint gots to lie Craig); room darkening, more food, less food, more boob, more time awake, less time awake, we've sung (Ricky Don't Lose That Numba), we've danced (Mambo Numba 5!), I've tried letting you run around the yard a few times to tire you out - but since you aren't walking yet - this tactic pretty much sucks.  If I ever thought going in to coo-coo-ca-cho you back to sleep after 30 minutes would work, I'd do it - but I know you.  You'd bitchslap me and scream in my face.  Then you would crawl over my head and out of the room without even saying goodbye and thankyouforthelift. 

You sleep okay at night.  I should be happy for this fact.  You have your stirrings - you get angry for a minute or 8 sometimes - but you are sleeping longer periods and getting roughly 11-12hrs in.  I'll take that.  Preciate ya.

But could a brutha just take a nap for an hour like all those "normal" 8 month olds who take 2 naps a day???  Because there are some days I would just love to take both shower AND a poop.  All at once!  Without the assclenching fear of those first little squawky squawks - mid crap.  There are some things (post-baby) that just can not be rushed.  Pooping, is one of them.  (Because anyone whose pushed a baby out the lovesponge knows the utmost delicacy with which all future deuces must be taken.  And if you have no idea what I'm talking about - then consider yourself very lucky; because along with a baby, I got myself a little FRIEND too.  It's all for the love of the little people.)

That is all.  My 40 minutes are up. 

Here you are - still cute.

Oh. Mah. Gah.
