Baby bad habits

My daughter has two very bad habits that I know her daddy would LOVE if she did away with because they both affect him negatively.

1.  Pulling daddy's beard.  She gets as much fur as her little hands can hold and just yanks for dear life.  I don't even have to see it anymore.  I know when I hear her name in a pained voice she is yanking on her daddy's beard again.  Good thing sheering day is in a few days and he gets his bi-annual hair cut and shave!  (More on that later)

2.  She seems to target him for spit up and puking.  It's been a few weeks since she has nailed me with some good vomit (I know I just cursed myself by saying this).  My poor husband on the other hand - about every other time he holds her he gets nailed.  A few nights back she nailed him 4 or 5 times while we were having family movie night.  I don't get it.  It is almost like she gets SOOOOO excited with him playing with her that she just unloads her stomach contents.

Grandma's at it again!

So the last time we visited grandma (remember she fed my child ice cream) she was trying to teach my kid how to blow raspberries.  Yeah, my daughter didn't seem interested at the time.  WELL..... last night as we were laying in bed, my very exhausted husband looks at me and says, "Is our child blowing raspberries?"  To this I responded, "Yeah, she's been doing that to me all day when she's annoyed with me.  My mom taught her how to do that."  Hubby:  "Hmmm..." and rolled over and went to sleep.

So why was my child annoyed with me you might ask?  Yeah, I put her in bed and expected her to go to sleep.  It was midnight and she seemed to be the only one not sleepy.

So I guess it's good that she wasn't screaming her little head off.  Yet I couldn't fall asleep I was laughing so hard at the 20 minutes of raspberries she was blowing.  She did it again at 5am when I put her back in bed after eating her first breakfast of the day.  Silly baby!

Grandma needs a spanking

So I recently (as in yesterday) saw a onesie that says, "I am spoiled because no one is willing to spank grandma."  I ALMOST BOUGHT IT!  I think if it came in the size my daughter is wearing currently I would have.

Why do I say this you might wonder?  WELL.... to celebrate my mom's birthday we went up to visit her (and fix her computer).  I leave my child in the culpable hands of my mother while I go to the bathroom.  Babies need cuddle time with grandma right?  While I am in the bathroom I hear my mom laugh - ok, not something horrible right?  Nothing bad could happen when laughter is involved, right?  WRONG!

My mom had given my (up to this point) exclusively breast milk fed baby a spoonful of ICE CREAM!!!!  And she LOVED IT!!!!  She was smacking her little lips.  She was smiling and giggling.  AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

So my mom, grandma, and grandfather think this is funny.  My grandfather (who we call Papa) even offered to feed her more ice cream.  I am not a happy camper about this.  Why you might ask....well a 4 month old doesn't need to be eating ice cream for one.  Two - she REFUSED to drink milk for the next 5 hours.  When she finally broke down and took milk she was staring at me like I was the meanest person in the entire world.  Why wouldn't I let her have the yummy food that grandma was willing to give her?  It took me about a day to get her back on track eating/drinking "baby food" (breast milk)!

I told my mom that if she did it again, she would be limited to SUPERVISED VISITATION!  I love you mom, but that was mean!
