Is baby. Is teething. Is cute, but is also apparently able to suck all my ability to brain out through my nipples. From 1 AM to 6 AM on an hourly basis. Thanks, baby.

BABY!!!

(I never thought I'd write something like that. And then it started one day... Thanks, brain. Only works with pictures, though - if presented with a real baby I have no idea what to do)

[nanila]

It doesn't seem like a practical one, given that a sleep-deprived mummy is far more likely to fail to notice, and hence be eaten by, a tiger. :P

[nanila]

Yep. There isn't a lot else on his mind, it seems!

[nanila]

Haha, even after having two babies I still have some of that fear/puzzlement. "Oh it's so tiny, how do I hold it, what does it want, above all things I MUSTN'T DROP IT!"

WHY is it still CRYING

He's probably growing. My two would both have a week or so of eating ALL THE TIME and then suddenly we'd have to find bigger clothes.

[nanila]

Yep, he's definitely growing. He had quite a long nap this morning and now he's ravenous again.

He's got the bright red teething cheeks too. At least he's not biting (at the moment).

But always remember ----------->

And then they start crying. Or have something come out of one end. And I hand them back really quick :-)

It's not like you need sleep.

On the other hand, what a gorgeous photo!

Probably wouldn't help to pretend it's grad school. Only it lasts the better part of couple decades. And your final project is a couple of adults.

But it might be amusing.

[nanila]

Ha, sometimes I've managed to trick myself into believing this is actually true. After a bad night, I'll have a very hot shower and while I'm in there, I pretend I've had a solid eight hours of sleep. It's worked pretty well a few times - until about 8 PM, when I collapse.

[nanila]

He's settled down again, thank goodness, although we're back to three hours between feeds instead of four. *sigh*

Thank you!

[nanila]

Ha, and the viva is never-ending. /o\
