"OH, NOW I understand.."
Have you ever seen a person carrying a semi grown child around? Maybe at a hardware store or the market? And did you ever wonder, "Why is that person carrying that big child around? How come they didn't have enough common sense to get a cart or bring a stroller?"
WELL...I know the answer to that question. It's because the parent assumed the child would want to exert their independence and walk around by themselves or would be content to ride in the shopping cart and not have their parent carry them around the entire time like a princess!!
So on Sunday little asian baby had the CRANKIEST DAY EVER!!! She is usually a quite happy child. We have tons of photos of her looking like this..
but on Sunday, she spent most of the day looking like this.

and this..
and even like this...
Well, of course minus the medical supplies and nurses and well, she isn't a newborn at all either. She basically though, still cries with the same amount of intensity and frustration as a newborn that has just been thrust out of the warm, cuddly womb and into the loud, cold world....too much?
So yesterday in an attempt to cheer little asian baby up, we took her out of the house. Unfortunately though, little asian baby was determined to be in a foul mood for the entire day, so even though she loves riding in the cart and wandering aimlessly around the aisles of stores....this day she decided that she wanted to do none of that. She only wanted me to hold her while we did our shopping. So there I was, little asian girl carrying around little asian baby and that's when it hit me.
OH, NOW I understand why people end up carrying their children around, when clearly there are strollers and shopping carts available to make the job easier.
*siGh* parenthood.

Chocolate chip cookie or french fry?
Are the two choices I gave little asian baby for lunch today.....
Now before you judge me......
Since little asian baby has been sick she lost 1 pound.
Now before you officially decide I'm crazy....
For an adult, losing 1 pound is not a big deal. We probably lose that with our morning poop.
Now before you decide to close the page because of vulgar content....
For a little asian baby who is just shy of 3 ft tall, 1 pound is enough to drop her from the 40th percentile category in weight to the 35th. You've heard me say this before, but little asian baby is the WOORLD'S PICKKEEST EEATERRR!!! (You have to say it like a circus ring master. It's sound more true and less like the crazy ramblings of a neurotic little asian mom girl that way. heehee) She only eats fruit, sweets (cake, cookies, ice cream, everything delicious in the world....) avocado pineapple banana puree, and occasionally string cheese. Oh and chocolate. That girl LOVES chocolate! Every fiber of my being is devoted to putting weight on this little thing. I worry CONSTANTLY about her not getting enough calories and nutrition. She only eats every 3rd bite of food I give her, and since she knows how to say "NO" she uses it primarily at mealtimes. (Ironically though she grows like weed! Must be the magic miracle growing potion, aka breast milk, that I give her!)
SOOOOOO....when the doctor told me little asian baby lost the 1 pound that took WEEKS to put on, I was irritated to say the least. I was lamenting to the doctor how it's been so difficult to get little asian baby to eat anything at all and how frustrated I was that she had lost 1 pound. The doctor (who probably thought I was just as crazy as you probably do..) said to me "Just give her whatever she wants to eat. Even candy is ok!"
WHAAT? HUH?? ARE YOU SURE DOC? CAN I SEE YOUR MEDICAL DEGREE?? Was my initial thought. But she went on to explain that since little asian baby is getting over an illness and since she's skinny and not a great eater, I have to first get her to "enjoy" eating in the first place. That means letting her eat whatever she's willing to eat.
Got it doc. Will do.
So later that day I took little asian baby to the golden arches. Little asian baby LOVES french fries as well as cookies, so I offered her some of both. She willingly accepted my offerings. SUCCESS!! But then I thought, "I wonder what people are thinking watching me offer a toddler french fries or cookies as meal options..." Luckily no one said anything, but a dad next to me did give me a questionable look, but lots of people give me questionable looks often, so I'm not phased by it much. haha.
I guess next time I'll just ask the doctor to write me a note and I'll pin it on asian baby or myself like a permission slip. And until then I'll just go through the drive thru.

"goo yahb maahm."
So I posted the other day that little asian baby has Rotavirus. She is getting a lot better and she had one full day of no vomiting or diarrhea. The other day though when the virus was still running rampid she vomited all over the floor. Now if I had just plain old hard wood floors then I could have just wiped with wet paper towels, wiped again with disinfectant cleaner, wiped a third time with another wet paper towel to make sure that all the cleaner had been wiped up and been done with it. (As you can tell, I am a tree killer who uses a ZILLION paper towels for one vomit incident. Sorry tree huggers save some extra paper towels for me! Thanks!) BUT, we have these giant puzzle foam mats on our floor to protect little asian baby from bumps and bruises when she falls. (Asian husband and I are safety nuts like that.)
SOOoo when she vomited, it got into the cracks of the mats. Lovely I know! So I had to pull up the 4 GIANT squares..well first I had to remove little asian baby from the premise, change her clothes, my clothes and wipe us both down. THEN I had to remove the GIANT squares, carry them dripping with throw up to the bath tub, hose them down with boiling hot water, all the while making sure that little asian baby was ok. After ALL that I exited the bathroom with little asian baby in toe, sighed a big sigh, and baby uttered those precious words...
"goo yahb maahm."
Translation: "good job mom"
THANKS ASIAN BABY!! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!!

"Ok...Here goes!"
"ARRGGG!!! I'm DOING IT! I'M DOING IT!"
"Heeheee..I'm so strong.."

Rotavirus.
**Please note that in this post, the different colored words are just to show my sheer ANNOYANCE with yet another pointless, annoying baby illness and not a link to another wonderfully delightful post from the past.**
What is Rotavirus you ask? It's another pointless, annoying baby illness that has plagued my house in the recent days. YAY! An illness that babies actually get vaccinated for, but still get anyway (RETARDED I KNOW!) It causes projectile vomiting and diarrhea in massive and frequent amounts along with all the crankiness, irritability and 24/7 clingy-ness that we mommas just LOVE! And as with all pointless, annoying baby illnesses, there is no medication, treatment or cure for the damn thing. Just "let it run its course." YOU BETCHA!
*&%($(@!#&$^%*^9)@(!*&%*^((#*@&^^@%**#&$^!*))$)*&^%$#!@#$$%*(^)@@*&&!!!!!!
*pHew* glad I got that off my chest.
Basically I've been vomited or pooped on at least three times everyday for the past 4 days. I also have had to do laundry three days in a row to wash all the clothes that were either, being worn at the time, just changed into from the most recent bodily fluid incident or were near the vicinity of the bodily fluid incident.
And apparently this thing could last for ANOTHER week. Wonderful.
Let's get scientific here people. Rotavirus, is basically what we adults call the "stomach flu" or "stomach bug". It is a virus that attacks and destroys the lining of your intestines and damages the enzymes that your body needs to break down lactose and protein. AWESOME! The virus, when looked at with a microscope, looks like a ball with spikes. It is those "spikes" that CLING onto your intestinal wall making it hard for your body to eradicate and get rid of. Also, since the intestines are being damaged, the digestion of food slows down to a near halt and therefore you either vomit the undigested food or pass it through your colon in liquid form, aka diarrhea. WHOO HOO! Consumption of any type of dairy or protein makes the symptoms, especially the diarrhea, worse because not only is your body not digesting but it is also not breaking down the dairy/protein in any way.
Now comes the best part...
This virus is HIGHLY contagious and can linger in your body for MONTHS after symptoms have gone. SWEET! It is also like the cold virus, in that it has many strains so if you get it once you can still get it again. LOVELY! Adults can also catch the virus from the infected children, although in adults, the symptoms are less severe and we get over it much more quickly.
DIDN'T KNOW I WAS A DOCTOR IN MY SPARE TIME DID YA! BOOM!
So the moral of the story is...if you come into contact with a child who has vomiting, diarrhea, or especially a combination of both....
RUN AWAY. RUN FAR FAR AWAY. Heed the words of Jenny in Forrest Gump. "RUUUNN FORREST!! RUUUNNN!!!" and stay away for the next 162.75 months. Or until the child turns 5. Whichever keeps you away longer.

" It's a diamond."
Could it be?
Did little asian baby just say her first sentence at 16 months old?
Is she already showing that she truly is a girly girl, and while others are saying "circle, square, triangle!" she says "diamond"?
Is little asian baby truly.........a genius??????
?????....
ok probably not.
It was probably just a coincidence that when Mickey Mouse was asking "What shape is this?" while holding up a diamond. Little asian baby just "happened" to utter some babbling words that sounded VERY DISTINCTLY like " It's a diamond!" It was so clear, that both asian hubby and I looked at each other with shock and amazement. I also laughed, but I usually laugh at everything baby says. Can't help it. I just think it's funny. Anyways, yeah, it was probably just a "big coincidence" as Elaine from Seinfeld said to the character Rava as they stood there fighting in the elevator about whether or not there are BIG coincidences or if all coincidences are just coincidences regardless of their size. (phEw tHat was a RealLy LoNg rUn On seNtence! GramMar cHecK aNyOne???? don't know why I just typed like that. I'm tired. And coincidences is a hard word to say and spell many times in a row. Try it. This must be the longest section of type within parenthesis ever.)
So long pointless story short! Little asian baby is proving that she already knows what an important role diamonds play in a girl's life, so she might as well recognize them as early!
Good girl.
