Baby Noises, Diapers, and Zoolander

I am obviously new at this parenting thing, so those of you who are veterans and have raised 100 kids just laugh at my ignorance and move on. Babies make a bajillion different noises! They make noises when they sleep, they make noises when they are awake, they make noises when they are happy, they make noises when they aren't happy.

OUR KID IS NEVER QUIET! I am not complaining. It's more fun this way, I just never knew the eclectic mix of noises Noah could produce at such a young age.

Sidenote: Mom, thanks for bringing all those leftover (everyone note that they were leftover diapers and not used diapers!) when you came. People have been telling us, "oh, don't get too many newborn size diapers, because he will be out of them in no time." Well, apparently we are either a)stupid and didn't too many enough or b)Noah was just early so he is wee little lad or c)he is just a pooping machine and we run through them fast.

But whatever the reason, we ran out of newborn diapers in the middle of last night. None. Zero. Zilch! All we had was size 1 and size 2. Well newborn diapers come up past his belly button, so you can only guess what he looked like with the size 1s on. We could have poked holes in the sides and put his arms through them. He was a diaper with a head.

Sidenote to the sidenote: How do people with kids get anything done? You just sit and stare at them. Does it ever get to the point where you are so tired that you go numb and you don't realize how tired you are and you go back to feeling good?

P.P.P.S. Noah has somehow picked up on Zoolander and can do his "Blue Steel" look. I am working on getting it on video for you guys.. I realize Zoolander was quite possible the dumbest movie ever made and I am not endorsing it. My kid is just good at impersonations I guess.

Dude, I totally understand everything! We stare at our child to this day and she baffles us. Not to mention all the new noises she makes as she is continuing to learn new words and meanings. Wait until your son learns to flex his muscles, it's pretty cute and everyone will want to see the funny face he makes when he does show off his rippling biceps. Love you guys!
