Sachi's personality

Sachi is a magnet.

People are drawn to her...wherever we go, people ask to pick her up. I think it is because she is very generous with her smiles, and attentive with her eye contact. People can't help but wanting to take her into their arms.

It happened at this restaurant in Puerto Vallarta where we were eating, and it happened today when we were in a class on baby sign language. It happens all the time.

I used to think her cuteness was due to her chubby cheeks and thunder thighs...now I know it is because who she is. I can't believe I can already describe her personality!

When does Sachi get her new laptop?

Lately Sachi has been Very interested in Anil's laptop. She looks at the screen and watches Anil's fingers as he types and moves the mouse. She imitates him by putting her index finger out and moving it around near his touch pad. It is so cute, we are gonna have to get it on video. As I am typing this entry right now, she is moving her finger on the touch pad. Looks like we will have one more person competing for the computer in this house.

Mommy's Bangles

My latest fascination has been with mommy's bangles.

Usually every morning she takes me to the mirror and says, "Who is that?", and then answers, "Baby Sachi". For a long time, it made me squeal with joy.

But lately, she has been taking me to the mirror and I don't even stop to look at myself. All I see is her hundreds of bangles on the dresser. So many colors, I can't take my eyes off them. She lets me run my hands over the bangles in the morning. She gave me one bangle to play with. It is now one of my favorite toys.

my milk drug

i have it for dinner
i have it for lunch
i have it for every meal
and man, it packs a punch

i dream of raining milk clouds
that fall like white lace

milk drops into my mouth
and the rest is left on my face

Slinging on the Westsiiiide

Wow, my face almost looks bigger than auntie Anita's. Maybe I am the grown up and she's the baby. The only dead give away is that she is holding me in the sling.

You think if it were just our faces, I could be the grown up?

My Baby Lumps

Yes I have rolls, and I rock them

They grace my belly, thighs, and double chin

My rolls recieve untold affection

Daddy kisses my rolls and I laugh hysterically

Mommy massages them lovingly with olive oil

Strangers look upon them with sighs

Love your rolls, and others will follow

Baby Feet

What is it about baby feet? Why are they so damn cute?
I think it has something to do with how they move. They move so freely toes pointed, spread, foot flexed...in a matter of seconds. When is the last time you moved your feet like this? Adult feet have been rendered inert by the confines of shoes. We need to learn from these babies.
