Maya's Superpower

#2 We drove all the way down Eastlink, over the 1001 speed-humps of Yarra Council (including the bizarre speed-hump on top of a speed-hump) past our old Taylor Street place and she didn't wake, but she wakes up when we go over the tiny 'driveway' bump at the entrance to our street!

To coin a phrase

To describe the little chunky bits from when the baby vomits I propose the term "Chucky Cheese".

Maya's Superpower

#1 - I can freely walk anywhere in the room, and she is quiet, calm, relaxed. Her eyes are closed, face against my chest. Yet get within on step from the bassinette and, bing, the body goes rigid then jerks and suddenly she's all action!

Words I didn't use before I was a parent

#2 - Grump, grumpy, grumpy-bum

Words I didn't use before I was a parent

#1 - Poppet

There's a little poo on her nappy

And a little Tigger, and sometimes a little Piglet and Eeyore,...

Surely the irony of having pooh on a nappy wasn't lost on the nappy manufacturers,...

'Baby legs'

I've just put Maya down to sleep, but as I stand nearby in case she's not going to settle I find I'm still rocking and swaying. My sea-legs acting up again.
