9 Things About Me - Lela

1. a.k.a. Tree Frog, Mother Theresa, Peanut.
2. I'm little. Maybe you've noticed. Maybe I'll always be little and maybe not... I haven't decided yet. But let the record show that I've doubled my birth weight in only seven weeks. I found this online... "The rule of thumb is that a baby doubles her birth weight in four to six months." Yeah, I'm very advanced. That's how I roll.
3. One theory for why I'm little is that my placenta may not have been attached to it's fullest potential. Just a theory, but we do know that it had nothing to do with Cate. She asked me to tell you that, but I believe that it's true.
4. I've learned that in this big outside world, I have the tools, or should I say lungs, to always get my needs met. I think this has something to do with why I always eat first.
5. I heard a nurse at the hospital say, "Lela is a big baby in a little baby's body." I'm not sure what that means, but I like it.
6. My natural mohawk has led me to start my punk rock phase early. I keep requesting the Sex Pistols, but Mom and Dad's ipods only have folky-pop music like John Prine and the B-52's. Lame!
7. I like to plan my contribution to the world while gazing out the window (or at any other bright light). Still deciding whether to aim for world peace, a scientific breakthrough, or Hollywood. 
8. I prefer to sleep with Dad or Mom if I can, but I hate to leave Cate in the big crib by herself.
9. Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep. Needless to say I don't appreciate it when my mom gets confused and wakes me up an hour before feeding time and then expects me to let her sleep another hour once she realizes her mistake. It's times like these that I wish Cate ate first.
