Oh and we are back!

The little person at home has me on my toes all day. So busy that I missed recording all the fun and life as such. And all I can do now (while Peanut is napping on A) is a bullet post. A highly disorganized one at that.

• Peanut had her two months Pediatrician visit. Not too impressed by her current doc, I decided to try a different one, so we made an appointment with Woodinville Pediatrics. She was going to get her shots, so one can imagine my state. I was a nervous wreck. I still fail to understand how someone can have the heart to poke each of her cute plump thighs with a needle!? With my heart hammering in my throat, we reached the doctor's office. Upon taking her out of her car seat, we discovered to our horror that Peanut's diaper failed to do its job. Her pink frock was covered in holy crap, while she was gurgling awayas though all was well. A handled the messy situation deftly by almost emptying the box of wipes that was lying in the room. Within few minutes Peanut was smelling of roses. She only cried a little when she was poked and was quickly pacified by a bottle. But like her mom she never forgets anything easily. She kept remembering the pokes and was sticking her lower lip out the rest of the day.
• Her sleep schedule was haywire the next week. She would wake up at 5:00 am, take a dozen cat naps each lasting five or ten minutes and fall sleep at 6:00 pm. Her lack of sleep has made me cranky and ill tempered. I can hardly find some time to comb my hair. If I step out on the deck in the backyard, I am sure the bluebird will bring tiny twigs and drop them on my head, in its attempt to build a cozy little nest.
• As if to treat her to something nice after the horrid shots, we took her to the Zoo :P. Yep, it was more for us. The trail was bumpy, so she couldn't sleep in her stroller and was super cranky. She demanded to be fed every half hour. We couldn't wait to get back home after six hours in the Zoo with a nutty Peanut. All the animals were drowsy after their lunch at noon. It felt great to be a kid again, squealing delightedly at the Giraffee, Kangaroo, Lion, Leapord, et al.
• Beach bums by nature, we took Peanut to the beach at Luther Burbank park the following weekend. It was a beautiful day and the water was not very cold either. We had a ball. Peanut loved the water as well. The sound of waves calms her.
• The book gene has been successfully passed on. Bring on the Very hungry Caterpillar, Fuzzy Bee, Brown Bear Brown Bear and you have a happy baby!

I hate how telegraphic this post is, but that is all I can do in this little time. Ciao!
