Get to know me, I...
- am as cute as a bug's ear, whatever that means.
- am becoming more mild mannered and agreeable in my old age, LOL.
- am calmed by Mommy touching my foot. Mine are the only feet she likes, including her own.
- am feisty. Mr. Turnipseed says the apple did not roll far from the tree.
- am soothed by music. It helps me regroup after being "handled" & my O2 saturation rate recovers quicker when my tunes are playin'.
- am ticklish.
- can't sneeze just once. Whenever I sneeze it comes in bunches, just like my folks.
- don't like being picked at or handled, which is rather inconvenient in the NICU.
- don't like it when they cover my hands. I always find a way to get them free, LOL!
- drool a lot and smack when I get a feeding.
- eat really fast, too fast!
- have really blonde hair, which all the ladies seem to think is cute.
- like being held kangaroo style by my Mommy & Daddy!
- like to sleep all scrunched up at the end of my crib.
- love all natural milk.
- make faces at my visitors & nurses.
- really like sleeping on my tummy, just like Mommy & Daddy.
- regularly hear about Jesus from Mommy & Daddy. My Mom sings "Jesus Love Me" & tells me all the cool Bible stories when we cuddle.
- sleep with a crook in my right leg and like having my head rest on my hands, like Daddy.
- snore, LOL!
- sometimes twitch when I am sound asleep.
- squirm & wiggle all the time causing me to get extra tape on my hook ups.
