More Letters to Babybutt

Dear Babybutt,

I'm glad you have a few things that make you happy and chill. It's nice to know that classical lullabies help keep you from kicking Mommy's guts out in the car. It's much easier to drive that way. It's also very handy to know that if Mommy sings and rocks herself while trying to sleep that you will ease up on the nightly cartwheels and somersaults that always accompany Mommy's quiet repose. (Don't worry. You'll learn these words later.)

It's also really interesting to learn that sometimes when you poke an appendage out, that Mommy touching it will startle you and you'll yank it back in. But on the other hand, a professional massage means sleepy time for baby.

Thanks for letting me know what you like. Hopefully these things hold true when you're a squirmy crazy man on the Outside.

p.s. I love your hiccups. Sorry if they suck for you.

I had to laugh. Maya loved having Peter rub her feet when she was on the inside. She would push her feet against my spine and wouldnt move them until he rubbed around (and no one else would do!). Even now, she will push her feet out and get this little grin when he rubs them. It's hysterical.

Jillian's high level of activity on the inside definitely set the precedent for what she'd be like on the outside. Same with the hiccups!

Oh and to answer your question on my blog, the airline did agree to pay me $125 after I had a little hissy fit. That didn't quite cover everything I needed to buy though :(

Bummer Jen. :( Stupid airlines. We're just waiting to see what this little turd will do! haha.

Michele, that is just adorable!

I loved the hiccups too. I didn't like them as much on the outside because they were usually preceeded by lots of spitup.

Michelle said...

LOL. It must be an amazing thing to feel!

Elizabeth still gets the hiccups in the same way. They don't seem to bother her even now, so I doubt they bother him. :)

It is amazing the music they remember once they are on the outside! I was a little skeptical but when I turn on Kenny Chesney, Cade goes straight to sleep. It's crazy!
