"I just went to put on his hat and I touched his head a little hard. If I hurt him do you think he would have cried? Is all of his head soft? Do you think he's OK? Can you put on his hat?"—Dave
"When can I hold him standing up? Don't you trust me? I am very responsible. I just got 100 on my spelling test!"—Sabrina
Me: "What do you get when a breastfeeding mommy jumps up and down and then feeds her baby?" Kids: "What?" Me: "A milkshake!" Kids: [Stare at me blankly.]
"Hi, mooshie! He looks like such a mooshie."—Sabrina
"He looks like ME!"—Max
"He seems to really enjoy pooping. You can just tell."—Dave
"Ay-ee's eye-ing! Eh im!"—Max ["The baby's crying! Get him!"]
"When I was carrying him before I wasn't carrying him with two hands, I was mainly holding his chest in my arm, do you think he's OK?"—Dave
Me: "Does he smell like spit up?" Sabrina: "I think he smells like flowers."
"Honey, I know he's not crying but he looks hungry."—Dave [Repeat variations of this 10,000 times]
"HE JUST ATE FIVE MINUTES AGO! HE ISN'T HUNGRY!"—Me
"I think he is eating too much!"—Sabrina
"Ehn eyes ooh ea!"—Max ["Ben likes to eat!"]
"I love how his belly button swirls. It's like a designer belly button!"—Sabrina
"I think he needs to do more face time."—Dave (He meant tummy time.)
Me: "I would just like to let everyone know that I am going to go take a five-minute shower and I am hoping you all survive without me. Dave, the baby is NOT hungry."
"Wouldn't it be great if diapers changed themselves?"—Sabrina
"Eye? Me?"—Max ["Did I cry a lot when I was a baby?"]
"Honey, I was sure I turned the flash off before I took a picture of the baby but then the flash went off! I couldn't believe it! Do you think it hurt his eyes? Is he OK?"—Dave
"Maaaaaaaax, don't touch his head, just his hand! Be gentle! He's just a baby!"—Sabrina
"Ben could be the President of the United States someday. I may be holding a president!"—Dave

Dave is just the best. Can you clone him?
ReplyDeleteDave, honey, is this you? Ha ha. I don't think I could handle two Daves insisting that the baby is hungry every five minutes.
DeleteThese made me laugh - I needed that today. Thanks! Christmas/Hannukah greetings from up here in Canada.
ReplyDeleteBack at you!
DeleteThat photo...

ReplyDeleteA baby's head is supposed to be soft!! I was born with a severe case of craniosynostosis. Translation? I was born without any soft spots!! As resulted, I needed to be entrusted into the hands of neurosurgeon Dr. J.--not once--but twice as a baby!! I'm just sayin'.... ;)
Love you later, Raelyn
PS. I love, love, love these posts!! ;-D
These are the best. Ben has brought a whole new life to your already very lively blog. P.S. Can I take Sabrina home with me?
ReplyDeleteThe best is "I just got 100 on my spelling test!" I'm gonna use that...
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like to eat?
ReplyDelete"I love how his belly button swirls. It's like a designer belly button." This made me laugh so hard.
