Isn't She Too Young for This?

Hey all. Gonna be a short one tonight. Addy had a really good day. We went for our walk and she had her bath. Now she is dreaming away. The night is still young though, and she has been known to pull out all the stops. Like they say, nothing good happens after midnight. To the point.

Two months is a long way from 13 years, or even 5 years, so I find myself asking, "Why am I already getting the no-eye contact silent treatment from my 2 month old daughter". And I know what some of you are thinking, and YES. She knows exactly what she is doing. It makes me laugh, but also wonder. Addy does this thing whether it is after eating or when we are just playing where she will not make eye contact with you. Seriously, I thought that her head was going to do a complete 360 the other day. I guess that I had made her mad, I know, what kind of daughter gets mad at her dad? Anyways, I was looking at her trying to get her attention and she was looking off to the right. So I slowly rotated her, trying to put myself in front of her eyes. However, as I moved her, she moved her head to keep her eyes from meeting mine. I thought I had several more years before she would do me this way, but let me tell you, it has already begun.

I know exactly what I am doing!

Also along with the no look silent, she has started to master "The Pout". You know what I am talking about. You are frustrated because it is 3 a.m., she already pooped on you, and you have to be up at 6 a.m., then she hits you with it. Cue the teary eyes and out comes the bottom lip. It works every time. She can't see 1 foot in front of her face, but she has already mastered getting her way. Again, I knew it would come, but I never knew it would be so soon.

I leave you with one final thought. Baby clothes. They seem simple enough. Over the head, arms in, button the little buttons and that's all she wrote. Well, she needs to keep writing because they are not as easy as they look. They didn't take into account how hard it is to button those buttons with flailing arms, kicking legs, and a screaming voice in your ear. You do all the work and get out unscathed only to see that the top button is still exposed. Uh Oh. Thank you to the inventor of the gown. If you can get it over their head and arms, you are home free my friend. However, I do love that my daughter has an entire wardrobe that cost a couple hundred dollars. I'm sure in the future at some point I will pay that for a pair of jeans or some shoes she just has to have (and probably wear only once). But, we will deal with that when the time comes.

Well, that's all folks. The weekend came and went, and we all survived. I hope you will continue to follow the blog. Thanks for all the support so far. Addy's out, and so am I. Until next time.

Blessings,
