6 Months Later

It’s been 6 months since the little ones arrived. It feels just like yesterday that they were born, the 2 tiny little ones. I remember that very day and the first feed that I gave them. Since they were premature they had to be placed in a special ward for 24 hr monitoring. They were so tiny that during the first feed I remember once the nurse place the baby in my arms I kind of froze there thinking that any movement I could easily hurt them. Well 6 months down the road they are now a lot bigger and they are starting to sit up, crawl, eat solid foods, cry more, scream for attention and basically create havoc in the house ha ha  ….

 

Over the first 6 months I have come up with 10 baby theories. Here they are.

1 - Embarrass the Parents

I think somehow they can sense that they are out of the house and will throw a tantrum when there is a crowd to watch them. At home they behave like little angels.

2 – No Poo too Big, No Pee too Small

I think babies just eat and shit and pee and for some reason the amount of food going in does not equal the amount coming out. It’s like for every spoon, they poo 10 times that amount. ooohhhh… and the smell, those papaya’s just add to eat.

3 – Best Altimeter

They seem to know when you are seated. They have this built in altimeter which can tell the difference between the pressure of the air when you are seated and when you are standing.

4 – Giants

They really grow, from a 2kg little boy to a huge 9+kg little boy, well not so little now. The girl’s a little smaller at 7+kg

5 - Eyes Wide Shut

Babies open eyes only when you are around, never when there are other people around, in the early days they hardly ever open their eyes and only when we were around but when there are people they sleep.

6 – Photographs

Now babies don’t smile, everytime the camera is pointed at them they will show that grumpy look, once you move the camera away all smiles break

out, camera back up  … grumpy look … camera away … all smiles …

7 – Babies have BO

Not Body Odour but Baby Odour. For some reason they seem to have this smell which other mothers can detect, Father’s probably have dead noses.

8 – Hungry Hippos

They always seem to be hungry or at least the boy is while the girl just loves her solid foods, they practically eat anything.

 

9 – Droolers

They are like that BP oil spill in the US when it comes to drooling, I don’t think it ever stops. One of these days got to check with those BP guys how they going to put a cap on it.

10 – Spoilers

They just want to be spoilt especially by their grandparents, but I guess that’s what grandpa and grandma are for.
