I have decided that Usurper is the world’s strongest baby (of course that doesn’t include babies on steriods, formula, or any other performance enhancing drugs).
She has taken to picking up this sand stuffed duck that is used to jam the back door open and running around the house with it. All last night she [...]
Well we have survived our first Physical Culture (the full name) contest with not a tear to be seen! Hell not only did Little Miss not cry, her bottom lip did not quiver, nor did she chew them raw. In fact she even managed a big grin once or twice.
Our shyest of the shy managed [...]
With apologies to one independent, feisty little Hispanic chick I think we have all earned the right to dance around singing “We did it!, We did it, We did it!!! - Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!”
That’s right, the baby - Usurper - has made it to her first birthday, and to top it off she is fast changing [...]
Usurper is suffering from second child syndrome and is missing out on all those things that were such a big deal for Little Miss.
The latest is that she turns 1 on Wednesday (well done to her for surviving), but unlike for Little Miss there is to be no elaborate gathering.
This is not entirely our [...]
When will Usurper actually take that first stuttering step towards the ultimate in freedom - bipedal movement? She is close, very very close. She will at times stand up and let go of whatever she is holding onto, standing there grinning and giggling like a maniac until she falls to her ass - at which [...]
Read Walk Dammit! »When will Usurper actually take that first stuttering step towards the ultimate in freedom - bipedal movement? She is close, very very close. She will at times stand up and let go of whatever she is holding onto, standing there grinning and giggling like a maniac until she falls to her ass - at which time she giggles even more.
She has also taken the odd one step shuffle, but I don’t think it counts until she has moved both feet one after another.
The thing I am looking forward too when she is finally fully mobile is the absolute terror she is going to rain down on the world around her. There is nothing surer than she is going go be a climber, a bolter, a madwoman on two legs. The monkey backpack harness is going to get quite the working over in the next few months.
I do feel sorry for Little Miss though, because once the baby is the toddler then the former toddler is going to have to be very careful - I can see revenge for all the times she has been pushed around in the past.
P.S. - Sorry for the lack of posts, but as you may have known if you read Wife’s blog our house has been full of pestilence and plague of late, (and spiders) - I promise to be better in the future
