Having an 8-month-old can be a joyful yet exhausting experience. My little one, who was once a champion sleeper, caught a cold last month, and everything changed. Now my sleep schedule is a distant memory, and I can hardly tell one day from another. Sleep deprivation has led me to say some pretty entertaining things to my baby. I hope one day she’ll forgive me for these outbursts.
Here’s a glimpse into my late-night ramblings:
- “Please don’t touch my face. We’re not exactly best buddies after an hour of this!”
- “I’m changing your dirty diaper, but honestly, I feel like crying.”
- “Stop flapping your arms like a little bird! You’re driving me insane!”
- “This is exactly why your dad fantasizes about driving off into the ocean.”
- “Don’t forget these moments when you’re a teenager, okay?”
- “Why are you biting me? You’re not a wild animal!”
- “If you don’t stop kicking, I might have to resort to duct tape!”
- “Look around! No one else is laughing. It’s like you’re on some kind of baby drugs. I could use some of those!”
- “Normal people don’t smear boogers on their faces. You’re the worst roommate!”
- “Please don’t suck there; I’m not designed for that!”
- “You were asleep! You were actually asleep! Why are you awake again?”
- “The silly pacifier is staying in your mouth, no arguments!”
- “Your diaper smells like apricots. What in the world is happening?”
- “This is why you don’t have any friends, you know!”
- “I try to cuddle you, and you push me away. I set you down, and you cry. You’re just as confusing as your dad!”
- “Just tell me what you want already! It doesn’t have to be a mystery.”
- “Stop being so cute! No one is cute right now. Please, just go to sleep!”
- “Why are you smiling? Now I’m smiling, and I hate that we’re both smiling.”
