Dear Mommy’s Readers,
Dear Mommy’s Readers,
Now that I’m 4 months old and weigh over
10 pounds mommy is letting me write in her blog! Thank you for reading ‘cuz I know you all want to read part
3 of my birth (I don’t know why. You all know the end of the story—I was born,
of course!) Mommy needs a little
break so she let me write.
Today we walked and then mommy bought coffee. A man said I
was alert. You know, ever since I was
born, strangers tell me I am alert. I
just stare at them hard ‘cuz I don’t know what that means. I’m going to keep my
eyes wide open and look around until I figure that out.
I can now grab toys, roll over from my back to my tummy (but
I don’t do that very often ‘cuz I
forget how), smile, and giggle.
Right now I like trying to pull off my toys from the toy mat, smiling at mommy
and daddy, and chewing my fist. Yes, my fist. Mommy is trying to help me chew
on toys instead, but holding toys while
playing is really hard. So I prefer
my fist.
I’ve been trying for weeks now to tell mommy that my mouth
hurts. She didn’t understand, so I had to take action. I decided to wake-up
every hour and scream so that mom would understand. It was exhausting, but mommy
still could not understand. She didn’t tell me, but I cried so much she thought
I….uh, had a brain tumor!* Poor mommy. She needs more sleep.
So, we saw the doctor today and you know what? He knew
exactly what I was trying to tell mommy—I am cutting two teeth! Now mommy is
helping by giving me a teething pacifier—it’s so fun!
Yours truly,
Aleigha
Editor’s note: Yes, I did edit Aleigha’s post. What can I
say? I am a type A first born. She protested, but she’s a first born too.
I have to make a correction. Aleigha said that I thought she
had a brain tumor. Actually, she doesn’t like to admit it, but I actually
thought she was gassy [ahem] colicky—because she
is! So, even though I know she’s teething (sorry sweetie—mommy’s just learning
how to speak baby!) I am still cutting a.l.l dairy out of my diet. And you know
what? I think it’s helping….
I had to cut dairy out of my diet, too. It was a sad day for my tastebuds, but a much happier one for Callan's belly - and our sanity! :)
ReplyDeleteHe eventually outgrew the colic and I was able to add back in cheese and ice cream. Yay!
Can't wait to see pictures of Aleigha's new teeth. :)
Dairy, garlic and chocolate...the triple threat for nursing mothers! She's an early teether; hope that means they'll come in fast. Sweet post. :)

ReplyDeletePlease tell Aleigha I enjoyed her post; she Oscar an engaging writer, just like her mom. ♥
