What My BABY Wore ~ Easter Sunday

HAPPY EASTER!

In the spirit of all the “What I Wore on Easter” memes, here’s what I, the BABY, Wore Easter Sunday:

It was my first out-of-the-womb Easter celebration but I think I got the hang of it quickly. I was taking a nice nap on my Abuelita’s comfy bed and then I felt a light breeze tickle my hair and the bright sun poking at my eyes. I woke up and I was outside, cradled comfortably in my daddy’s arms. Everyone was running around the yard looking for these colored ball-looking things. By this time I was awake enough to play along and I found one hiding in a bush! This made me happy. :)

The outfit was perfect for celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection and hunting for Easter eggs:

Shirt – The Children’s Place. My mama went all out this year and got new plaid shirts for my brothers too, and a fancy purple shirt/skirt/legging outfit for my sister. I noticed my mama even had on a new pretty dress! I liked it because I could still get to her yummy love potion.

Pants – not sure, probably some hand-me-downs from my brothers that have somehow held up!

Bare feet – my personal Designer.

What about you other babies? Any fancy schmancy Easter outfits? The link-up is open through this Sunday, and it’ll still be Easter then so if no one took a picture of you, one this Sunday still counts.




What My BABY Wore Today ~ 6 months!

27. February 2013 · 4 comments · Categories: babies, What my BABY Wore

Hey guess what? I’m 6 months old now! (For almost 2 weeks now but better late than never right?)

I know, it’s crazy. It feels like just yesterday I was all snuggled up and content inside my mama’s comfy womb. And now here I am, making my way through life on the outside. All in all, it’s not been so bad. There are times I wish I could scoot myself back in and hide away from everyone (especially my rowdy brothers), but it would probably be a bit cramped now. Besides, I like being able to see my mama’s face and tug on her hair and stare deeply into her big brown eyes…

ahem. Ok, I’ll stop with the sappy stuff now.

In honor of my 6 months’ birthday, my mama made the above cool collage to see how much I’ve changed. I can’t wait to see what other new things I’ll be able to do soon! So far I can sit up on my own, though I still fall onto my side or face-plant – ouch! I love being on the floor, it’s fun to roll around and scoot myself. I’ve been practicing getting up on my knees but I’m too heavy to stay up too long. My mama put some stuff on my tray and helped me taste it the other day. It was…interesting…I’m not sure yet what I think about it. Why can’t I just have her wonderful ‘love potion’ forever?

What are you other babies up to?

What My BABY Wore Today [teething/tummy time ]

Guess what? If I reach inside my mouth, I feel this strange, sharp thing trying to come out of my gums! It helps to chomp on my thumb – takes the edge off. Last night was no fun though, nothing I did made it feel better. :( My poor mama, she tried and tried and I think I made her a tad bit  cranky having to walk around the house in the middle of night when everyone else was sleeping. (Yikes, don’t mess with mama when she’s tired!!) I hope she knows I didn’t mean to make her lose sleep. I’ll just have to be extra cute for her during the day to make up for it!

 

Like doing things like this. Don’t I look like a big boy now? See, if I streeEEetch up like this, I look about what 8 maybe 9 months right instead of 5-almost-6 months.

 Ooo, look what’s this?

Wanna play with me?

Wait, nevermind, it’s more fun to chew on it.

Hope all you other babies are doing good and not causing your mamas to lose sleep or patience! Just make sure to smile and laugh and coo at them and they’ll still love you – I promise.




What My BABY Wore Today (look what I can do!)

This has been quite a week for me! I’ve been getting really good at sitting all by myself! I’m not perfect but I’m getting there! My mama put me in this cool chair thing (bumbo seat?) at a friend’s and I loved it. She needs to get me one for home.

(*I can’t HELP being so cute)

Then, she thought I’d be safe in the bouncy seat while making dinner…

I almost got out while she wasn’t looking but then she caught me! (literally)

I also rolled over this week (from front to back) but my mama missed it so I’ll have to practice some more so she can catch me doing it really well. I like to grab anything I can reach but get realllyy frustrated when I can’t get what I see, or when my mama takes it or me away from it. I don’t get what the big deal is with plastic bags? They make a cook crinkly noise, they are fun to hit – I love the sound they make when I shake them around - and I like how easy it is to suck on them, which is usually when my mama takes it from me. :( No fun!  I wish there was a plastic bag toy that I was allowed to play with.

 




Abortion; at a Crossroads

23. January 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: abortion, babies · Tags: ,

I feel like the abortion debate is at a crossroads,

between abhorrence and compassion.

The march against the “baby killers” meets the roaring ”keep your rosaries off my ovaries”.

The two have finally met, face to face.

At first, each sees hate, each feels hate.

“How could you support that?”

“Don’t you care about them, about their rights?”

“Don’t you care about me, about my rights?”

Then, they both look down, where they stand.

- On the grass.

- On the pavement.

But both atop shared ground.

Then, they look up.

The fog parts

slowly, they see it.

The pain.

The anger.

The sorrow.

The outrage.

The misunderstanding.

“We don’t hate babies.”

“We don’t hate women.”

“We don’t hate you.”

Both want the same thing.

 

We are at this crossroads:

“Abortion is abhorrent.”

“Abortion is compassion.”

“Abortion is killing.”

“Abortion is saving.”

 

Somewhere, on this convergent plane

between

Life

and

Death,

there is a way

- somehow we must find it -

to get past the noise, the rabble

the Hate.

Find a way to reach OUT

and IN,

and find

LOVE again.


What My BABY Wore Today [Lumberjack style]

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work I go.

My mama got me all nice and cozy today in this new outfit, courtesy Grandma! She knows just what a baby needs. She also knows I’m nice and hefty so made sure to get this in size 9 months. The pants are still a bit snug over my bulky diaper but still fit.

Can you tell that I’m sitting up all by myself in the first picture? Yup, I’m a growing boy! I’m so heavy, though, that I got a little tired and kept falling over. I quickly discovered that the carpeted floor is not as soft as it looks. Ouch.

How about you other babies out there? Staying bundled up and warm?

Hey everyone, I’m 5 months old today! As a reward for making it this far in the outside world, I’ve been gifted with my first cold/cough. It’s not really such a great gift though, I don’t like it.

Stuff keeps coming out of my nose and my mama has to keep wiping it and I do NOT  like that. I try to move away but she’s too fast. Sometimes I sneeze and big bubbles come out my nose, this makes my mama laugh but then she still tries to clean it and I don’t think it’s that funny. It makes it very difficult to nurse when I can’t breathe through my nose but I know my mama’s milk has some super-sickness-fighting power so I’m trying to get all that I can.

I don’t look all that great today with all the dried snot and slobber and icky all over me, so here’s a fun collage of one of my new outfits from the days before snot took over my face and I had more energy for the bigger smiles. (My mama discovered Pixler Express today, thanks to her friend, Sarah, and got all excited about all the new fun photo editing possibilities.)




What My BABY Wore (Rock ‘n’ Roll style)

10. January 2013 · 5 comments · Categories: babies, What my BABY Wore · Tags:

Hi! It’s me, the baby again! I got some new clothes for Christmas, yay! So maybe you’ll get to see me in some outfits that actually match for a little while! Oh and my mama finally decided she can’t stop me from growing and got out the 6 – 9 months clothes even though I’m not 6 months yet. I saw her cry a little as she started putting my smaller clothes away but ssshhhhh, don’t tell her I saw ok?

So for today I got to wear some comfy pants and long-sleeved onesie. Santa brought me some cool new bibs so I don’t drench my shirts and have to wear a wet shirt all day (or wait for my mama to change me).

The bib is also helpful to hide my true identity. You see, underneath this nice-guy look, I’m actually a…..

Wild Rockstar!!

Who loves to dance.

And Rock ‘n’ Roll all night…and EveRYday!



What My BABY Wore Today (BC Hockey style)

03. January 2013 · 3 comments · Categories: babies, What my BABY Wore · Tags: ,

Fact: My Godfather (who also happens to be my crazy silly uncle) is a Boston College Hockey addict.

Oh, excuse me – a BAHstan Callege Hockey addict.

Exhibit 1:

You see, he’s so obsessed with “his” team that he went so far as to try and turn his own Godson – an innocent little baby – into a fan as well. He pretty much told me it’s a requirement to being his Godson! Can you believe it?

At first, I wasn’t so sure about it…

Actually, before this, they (yes, my mama was in on this, too) tried to stick my head through the shirt while he was wearing it (sorry, I was too mad to let them get a picture of that so you’ll just have to use your ol’ imagination).

I didn’t ask for this. All I want to do is be a baby and suck on my fingers and make bubbles come out of my mouth.

I thought about showing them how upset I was by spitting up all over it or….worse.

But then, I noticed how much they were laughing, despite my protests, and I coudn’t help myself and started laughing and smiling about it, too.

Now, if only I could find my feet to play with them, this might actually work. Maybe I could use it as one of those “sleepers” without any legs that are strange because they always end up rolling up and making my legs cold…

How about you other babies? What are you all wearing today (or yesterday or tomorrowish)?
