"Come a little closer and say that..."

[colliemommie]

So, Bruce is holding Baby and having deep conversation of the "Who's my baby? That's right! You're the baby!" variety, with lots of kisses. He then, in a case of epic wish-fulfillment, interprets his 6 week-old daughter making fishy lips as her trying to give kisses back.

The rest I remember in slow-mo, like a bad horror film. His face gets closer and closer to hers, all the while saying "Who gives kisses? Does the baby give kisses?" Suddenly she gets this crazy light in her eyes that I know all too well, and latches on to his nose.

...

It got even better when he tried to pull her off and couldn't because of Baby Super-Latch (tm). I had to break the suction and get her off for him. Baby was, needless to say, very confused.

And I was irresistably reminded of the neighbor kid when I was about ten who got a garter snake clamped to his nose in much the same way. At least we didn't need to cut the baby in half with a pair of pliers to get her off.

ROFL I have little experience with babies, but that was just darned funny.

I keep replaying it in my head. With JAWS music.

HAHA! Aw! Babies.

Wherever did those promised pictures go?

[colliemommie.livejournal.com]

They're on the harddrive...I'll get them posted (eventually).

I haven't sent out birth announcements yet either.

[ciaobellamamma.livejournal.com]

But pictures. are so much easier. to post. !!

That is tooooooooooo cute! Congrats on the baby, by the way! I have been falling down on my duties as an LJ friend since starting school again.

This is the most I've laughed in days: I hope no damage was done except to Bruce's dignity.

I think he'll recover in time.

Glad you were entertained!
