Watch Out She Bites

Funny I never thought I would hear those words coming from my mouth about my daughter. A dog maybe but not my precious Little A. But that is exactly what I am having to tell people now. I know all kids go through this phase (well maybe not all Big A was never a biter but Josh was) and it too shall pass. I know she doesn't do it out of anger on a regular basis she usually latches her teeth on someone cheek when she is trying to be affectionate. She may think she is giving kisses.
I really am not sure but last night was a bad one.

See Josh picked her up to kiss her and the next thing he is screaming (and Josh doesn't usually do that) He couldn't pry her off his face. At first I was trying not to laugh and then I saw that she really was latched on to his cheek. Finally after prying her away from and sticking my fingers into the corner of her mouth (dangerous job indeed!) We made her stop biting. Josh had welts in the shape of a little "O" on his cheek. But she is so cute he forgave her :-)

Does anyone have a "biter" too? Any horror stories with that? Please share with me so I know I am not alone!

Baby After 35

Let me start off by saying WOW. It’s tough after 35 to gather the energy babies require. I honestly don’t know how I manage with everything else I am doing to survive the day with the baby lol My other two children were typical babies, but not this one. She is giving me a run for my money. She picks everything up off the floor (the other 2 didn’t do that) even after I have just vacuumed the floor she will find that one speck of whatever I missed, put it in her mouth and then spit it back out. And she has some set of lungs let me tell you. My husband likes to tell me that he has never seen the look of anger and pride collide in my eyes as it has with my girls.

The idea for my Dirty Shirt blog stems right from the baby. I have laundered my shirts so much from the constant upsurge and runny noses from her that my new shirts look like I have had them for 30 years. So here I am left to wonder is it really just hard for me? Am I the only one who swore to her spouse that she could handle another baby after 35 only to find herself drained and exhausted? I Love kids big time and even after being wiped out and desperatly searching for more ways to collect energy I would do it all over again in a heartbeat……I know I am nuts
