Hunter just told me this joke.

What did the man say when he walked into the bar?








wait for it









OUCH!

Thats not cat meat, its street chicken!

We went to Old Country Buffet tonight and Jordan was raving about a chinese dish. I told him how people say that chinese food is made with cat meat instead of chicken. I said look how weird the meat looks, did you see chicken before that looks like that? Jordan said "thats not cat meat, its street chicken, see" He was pointing to the plaque listing the name of the dish as Bourbon Street Chicken.

Regarding sleep..

These are Emma's two states of being at the moment. Sleeping and crying (or drinking a bottle).

Overall I can't complain since she sleeps relatively through the night. She will wake up once for a bottle but go right back to sleep. Emma' Pop Pop discovered that she snores and she does (sometimes quite loudly) but its awful cute and reassures me that she is sleeping and still breathing. (Even though she is my 6th, I still get worried and shake her if she sleeping soundly just to make sure). I read online that newborns cannot be spoiled and its ok to let her sleep on your chest, etc wherever she is comfortable. Apparently, no one told Emma she is too little to be spoiled because she wants to sleep with or very near to someone. If you put her down in her basinette, no matter how long she has been sleeping peacefully, she will begin to WAIL within 2 minutes. If you don't pick her up within a minute or two, her cries develop into a weird and annoying "tommy gun" cry. It is incredibly hard to fault someone so little and sweet for just wanting to be with you, everyone should be so lucky to have such a problem. :)

Big and Little

Noah is holding Emma.
His comments:
Babies remind me of old people. They don't do much. They move slow. Babies are cuter though (kisses her)

Babies smell the same.

I'm always afraid to hold babies. they might go to the bathroon on me.

Emma gets cuter every day. She's so cute. Is she a threat? I don't know.

Her gums are kind of creepy looking.
