When you're a baby, you get to....

You get to spill every cup that's in sight, that you think has even an oz liquid in it, and just walk off. Boy is it, the more juice spilling the more fun.

You get to crawl up on mommy's head while she's sitting on the couch trying to relieve her aching feet.

If only....
I'll never forget when 1 of my babies, pretty much newborn, had a crazy diarrhea and woke up. I put on my bed to change and it leaked all over.... Omg, I couldn't manag myself. I woke my husband to help me, hold the baby's feet up, high enough so I can wipe. He took a hold of baby's feet and that's where it stayed. He had no freaking clue what I wanted from his life. I shooed him back to bed. The next minute he was back asleep. Was too funny

For starters, we get to kick mommy for months & have her worried when we don’t...
Bring light and joy to all.
Can be so small, yet be so manipulative and are essentially running the household...

And when we are with 2 the fun gets tripled. I will cry and when I stop my brother will resume the solo or we will do a duet together. And still mommy will love us. Very Happy

fart unashamedly

Also, anyone else jealous that a baby can get away with wearing next to nothing in this hot summer weather? While being pushed by mommy in sheitel, stockings and long sleeves. Sigh.

Are you for real? You're making me cry. My husband if I tell him "please clean up this mess" he says "what mess" and rolls right over.

I am truly sorry to Hear this.

Spit up on mommy's dress when we're FINALLY ready to go out!
Such fun! I watched mommy finish cleaning up, get dressed, feed and change me, and then I waited for her to say, "We're ready to go!" And THAT'S when I had the perfect opportunity to spit up on her dress.
I LOL

while she changed. Again Rolling Eyes

When you're a baby, you get to not wear a mask - heaven!
On that topic, I don't understand why people keep their distance from me but are ok with touching my twins' faces, giving high 5s etc?

These people who say "I had to step in the road to keep my distance from a person without a mask who was standing in the middle of the sidewalk!" I wonder if they do the same for a toddler in a stroller who doesn't turn their head when they cough or sneeze. Or they're just being nudniks and aren't actually scared of the germs 🙄

A comedian (I think Jerry Seinfeld) said that "Babies are just tiny drunks."

When you think about it, it makes sense. They throw up everywhere, fall asleep in the oddest places, are constantly looking for the next bottle, belch and fart without remorse, and scream for random reasons.

I'm currently taking care of a 4 month old baby. She let out a HUGE fart the other day, and then giggled hysterically about it. I now have proof that fart jokes start being funny at 4 months (and they just don't seem to stop, especially among boys!)

I can watch a baby sleep for hours, and never get bored by the cuteness. I never get bored with babies in general, they are always doing something interesting. Heart

Crawl around the floor to find dirt in the corners you can put in your mouth, then laugh hysterically when Mummy comes rushing over to scoop it out.

Play with plastic bottles for hours (in baby time).

Be given hugs, smiles, kisses and rides by each member of the family as they return home.
