Parents Just Don't Understand

In fact I've outgrown baveo... stay tuned...

NASA may have given up on the Spirit (http://xkcd.com/695/) but I think I could drive it out with careful manipulation of all the controls provided on my sophisticated simulator.  It's all a matter of getting things calibrated, maybe I should call Uncle Steve... nah, he'll just bring bunch of Italians with him to drink coffee and watch me do the work.  Now mother quit distracting me!!  

Thanks to J9, Michael, & Madeline for this wondrous contraption.  

It's been awhile, but I'm up late thinking about hitting the big 5.0 [month] mark tomorrow.  I'm so much more mature and self aware than I was even last month!  

I've even popped two teeth - bring on the solid foods! I'm sooo tired of the same thing day after day...  What's for breakfast? Breastmilk.  What's for dinner?  Hmm! let me guess BREASTMILK again, grrr.  Dr. Zavod better make it clear to these two that I'm ready for cereal when we see him on Monday or I'm just gonna scream.

Daddy and I made-up a new dance today to the Discovery Channel commercial/song - you know the "I love the whole world..." (link here... Fair warning, it tends to get stuck in your head) with a little help from Dad I sort of wiggle around until the "BOOM-De-Yada" part when dad swings me way up in the air and we laugh like crazy.  Now all Daddy has to say is "BOOM-de-yada" with his crazy wild-eyed look and I start giggling like a fool. Daddy asked me not to tell Mommy about it because she will be cross with him.  I'm not exactly sure why, it could be:

• (a) Mommy will be frustrated that not only does Daddy let me watch tv but it's nerdy Mythbusters re-runs.
• (b) Momma-bear is very protective of her cub and doesn't trust Dad not to bounce my head off the ceiling.
• (c) Daddy is supposed to be rehabbing his shoulder and Mommy wants to be there to say "I told you so." when his arm falls off from swinging me around.
• (d) Some combination of all of the above.

Regardless, I doubt Mommy will find out, this is like my electronic diary and I can't imagine her reading it.

P.S.  I think Dad just likes the Stephen Hawking part of the tune (apparently Hawking is like some sort of nerd-god)  but the world is just AWESOME @ 5 months.

Landyn Xavier Niles has arrived.  He's a pretty big guy with rock-star hair (I'm sooo jealous).  We are all super excited.  I can't wait to go visit - we need to start planning world domination.
