Smiley Poo

Since poor little Kassiah usually has to share everything with her sister, including blog airtime, I’m going to try and focus on her today.  And believe me, focusing on her is not hard to do since she is a big, fat, chunker!  Let’s see, how can I explain just how chubby she is?  Well, for starters, it looks like she’s wearing invisible bracelets where the chub on her bear paw hands meets her sausage forearms.  And her poor little ‘cankles’ get temporarily embroidered with elastic designs when she wears socks for too long.  Oh and don’t let me get started on those cheeks – I’m not entirely sure if they’re adequately secured to her face!

Kassiah’s healthy appetite keeps me busy since she still likes to snack about every 3 hours 24-7.  But it’s hard to say no to someone as cute as her!  It doesn’t take much to make little “Tu-tu’s” happy.  If anyone gives her the slightest bit of attention – a cuddle, a coo, a tickle, anything – her lips can’t help but break out into a huge smile.  She truly is a happy baby: smiling in her sleep, taking breaks from nursing to smile, and her ultimate smile – on poop day.  Kassiah is an all or nothing type of girl so she usually saves all of her poop for about a week and then gets rid of it all at once.  Then she’s so thrilled with herself that she grins even more than usual…hence the name “Smiley Poo”!

She’s even started to chuckle recently, which is so contagious.  Sometimes I give her thunder thighs a tight horse bite just to hear Kassiah crack right up.  Aside from having smiles and rolls aplenty, Kassiah also has a thick head of hair.  Most ethnic babies are born with a decent amount of hair.  I thought Mariah had lots, until I had Kassiah who was literally born needing a haircut.  All these features put together make her look like an actual little doll.  I’ve been told that if they made an Aboriginal Cabbage Patch doll, it would look just like Kassiah! 

As for that big sister of her's, I’ll let her speak for herself this blog with some of her latest utterings:

‘gushting’ (Translation = disgusting…her comment when I watered down her milk from the bathroom faucet since I was too lazy to go to the fridge)

‘wo coash’ (Translation = whoah close…when she does something dangerous like climbing on top of the sofa and then almost falling)

‘bizzy’ (Translation = busy…how she responded to my request to play blocks today when she was pretending the package was a briefcase)

‘pisey’ (Translation = spicy…the way she describes curry and/or snow before making a face and then taking another big bite)

‘me shew’ (Translation = miss you…the way she makes Nana’s heart melt)

‘aaah skeh-wee’ (Translation – aaah scary…she screams whenever she passes the front door since we was a bit traumatized by Halloween)
'coash...go' (Translation = close the door and go away are her instructions to me when she wants to do something sneaky like smear diaper cream on her feet)

Yup, those are my girls lately!
