Baby Songs for Infants


Infants have no clue what's being said to them. They don't even know anything about what goes on around them. So talking to infants - even using that silly "baby voice" is... silly. At this point, the content of the "discussion" is probably more for the benefit of the speaker than the baby.

That said, an amusing song to sing to an infant might go like this:

(To the tune of "If you're happy and you know it")

If you're happy and you know it,
Stare into space.

If you're happy and you know it,
Stare into space.

If you're happy and you know it,
Your face will surely show it!

If you're happy and you know it,
Stare into space.

This is a Caitlin!


So the housekeepers have finally allowed me back on the computer. They weren't here for most of four days, though the one did show up on occasion to make sure I had my sustenance. But the biggest surprise was the Caitlin. I knew it was coming, but I had no idea what it was. Thankfully, it only makes me nervous when it starts flailing its arms about.

On the other hand, the housekeepers pay a LOT more attention to Caitlin than to me now... I think I may have perfected some of the sounds it makes, so I'll try and see if that will get them to pay more attention to me.

The other birds haven't really noticed her that much. Pepe might have, but his incessant squawking is no different than before...

Caitlin is here - but not home yet









I don't have much time to elaborate, except that Lani had to have Cesarean to finish the deal. She did so well in normal labor, it was a shame that Caitlin couldn't make it through normally!

The NBA Finals Are Over!


Thank goodness, the NBA finals are over. Now perhaps I can get a full nights sleep...

As you might guess, I was rooting for the guys in green.

Getaway


The housekeepers were gone almost all day Saturday, which seemed unusual for a Saturday. The one has been home all day for quite a few weeks...

I did get some quality time with the housekeepers when they got back, however. They did mention something about finding my "cousins" nest...

Do you see what I see?


The housekeepers do not always know what I'm looking at when I'm on the ground. This time it's pretty obvious.

If I absolutely have to point it out, I stepped in some poop. Argh!
