Baby-isms

lest12 · July 2014

Let's AW/SS our LO's some more. I don't know about you guys but I can't get enough.

Share your favorite little baby-ism... What I'm calling the little quirky manerisms that DS does. Bonus points for pictures!

My fave - When DS is done eating, he puahes himself off my boob and throws his hands in the air, like I'm done with this ish!

I also love how he falls asleep with his hands behind his head, like he's just chillin', no big deal.

Your turn - share away!

Murphy has a very distinct "fart face" he looks so sad but then he farts and he is happy again

Also he gets frantic when he is hungry, kicking and punching, it makes DH and I laugh so much.

Bozzy2 · July 2014

I love her pirate face. (Picture 1) Also her beauty queen look when she is sleeping. (picture 2) That's how she positions herself to sleep.

Yes I'm a nerd.

Isabel sleeps with her hands up. She starts the night swaddled, but always works her way out so she can throw her hands up. I love it!

kbellizio3 · July 2014

DH and I started calling Cleo "Cleosaurus" when I was still pregnant. And she totally makes these odd noises that kind of sound like the 2014 Godzilla sounds when she's just hanging out in her PnP.

When she's about to eat she makes these "ah ah ah" sounds. That I imagine is what a pterodactyl sounds like.

She totally is a dinosaur in disguise. Too bad I can't post sound clips.

Lucy has a very distinct poo face. If you see this face, you know you will hear "Schwsshhhh" next.

Yes! Lorelei does this too. It's so freaking adorbs.

When he's released the nip, but wants it back and starts looking for it, he'll get all riled up and thrash back and forth. So now he has a "shark face"

chloephoebecali · July 2014

I love the zombie mouth ( prob like the shark face pp mentioned) when she is looking for food. She will try to suck on anything.

roadspeckle · July 2014

When LO gets startled he throws his hands up and leaves them there. I have so many pictures of him doing this:

roadspeckle · July 2014

I have another one. He also loves his hands by his face and he did when he was in utero too.

MNOpea · July 2014

This sleeping position...

tbmadeamistake · July 2014

When he's nursing and is really relaxed, he'll have his arms down his sides and looks like he's sky diving, I love it! I'll try to post a picture later when I'm on my laptop.

Found the right thread!

There's a point in the evening when one of us is holding LO or maybe she's in her bouncer chair and she's been quite peaceful for some time. One of us will ask "is she asleep?" and she will immediately open just her left eye and stare us down. We've switched languages hoping she won't know what we're talking about.

When she eats she makes a rhythmic moan-slurp-gulp noise. Sometimes she takes a break, but holds onto my breast with both hands, I guess in case anyone tries to take it from her? When she's finished she suddenly leans back with her head almost upside down and her arms over her head. It looks like she's saying "victory is mine!"

steprozz · July 2014

he sleeps with his fists up like he's ready to fight

You have a Lorelei?? That is my oldest DD's name! I looooove it!

C likes to lounge with an arm above his head. All his ultrasound pictures he's like this.

Pepper6 · July 2014

I call this Gwen's "milk drunk" face. Shes such a messy eater... lol.

ELC252011 · July 2014

The first is the I gotta fart face. She makes this face right before she farts or poos. The second I love the sparkle in her eye. She loves to look out the window.

steprozz · July 2014

@nutmegs8‌ we live on the edge! lol

tummommy · July 2014

When he gets hungry and can find his hands (and is not screaming mad yet), DS mouths one of his fists, pulls back a little and then lunges on it in full attack mode like he's going to eat his whole hand...I think it's the cutest thing ever but it's a signal that he's about to get pissed if he's not fed pronto lol

rachel8078 · July 2014

A likes to get her arms around my boob and hug it when she's finishing her meal! It's like she's thanking it; I'll spare y'all the pic

babygabe614 · July 2014

Stella loves sleeping in this diva position... i love it!

LaurelJoy91 · July 2014

I think I've been dealing with overactive letdown, which has caused some interesting habits while nursing.

LO is getting better about it, but she was such a sloppy nurser for the past couple weeks that I had been affectionately referring to her as "milk face."

If she seems like she is sucking in too much air while nursing and I try to take her off the boob to burp her, she releases a blood curdling shriek like she's going to die if I don't put her back that very moment. It's a very startling sound, but I can't help but find it amusing when she gets so worked up over a brief boobless second.

No pics of either of those "baby-isms" but here is a really cute one I snapped of her squishy lips after the pacifier fell out of her mouth while she was asleep.

puttyeast · July 2014

When C is rooting around and sometimes while nursing, he will raise his eyebrows and get creases on his forehead. It's the cutest expression, but I haven't been able to catch a pic of it yet!

My LO loves to nuzzle the boob. I always think the same thing, like "thank you boob, that was wonderful"

Julie&Micah · July 2014

DS is quite the cuddler after a good full feeding. He always nestles his head into my neck while up on my shoulder and sleeps with is mouth hanging open. His outer hand is either always curled under him or (my absolute favorite) wrapped holding on to my arm. I feel like he's just holding on and giving the biggest, 'thanks mom for the good milk' hug.

I love it!
Here are pics of both post-feeding cuddles!

brooklyngirl46 · July 2014

Dd makes eeeping sounds in her sleep. Its freaking adorable. I also love when she sleeps with her little mouth open. So sweet.

izzetoot · July 2014

My LO absolutely loves taking a bath. Its the cutest thing in the world. I would bathe him for an hour if the water wouldn't get cold

And he has this adorable hippo towel I wrap him in when we're finished. Love love love!

Bozzy2 · July 2014

So cute the whole family and no one wanted to look at the camara

stephpaez · July 2014

LO with the face she makes when she's working out a poo. It makes me laugh EVERY time!
The others are of how she loves to sleep. I have the hardest time at night swaddling her because she hates being so confined.
