New Parent Dictionary

A few definitions most new parents will know by the end of three and a half months:

Blowout: Without a doubt, the messiest of messy diapers. These are the ones that require most of the wipes you brought in the diaper bag, a full change of clothes and quite possibly, a bath. Fortunately, as time goes by they become fewer and farther between.

Tagged: 1. A fashion statement for new parents, in which the clothing item is marked with spit-up. It comes with its own special fragrance! 2. What all of my outfits generally are, shortly after I put them on.

The Spits: What the baby has when he/she spits up multiple times within a few minutes of putting on his/her clean outfit, requiring another change of clothes. The parental tolerance for the spits grows with the baby (as I presume it will continue to grow with each baby from here on out), and thus, the length of time any one outfit is kept on grows as well.

The Baby's Sixth Sense (No, he doesn't see dead people); Also known as The Romance Sensor: 1. The remarkable skill of the infant to know when the romantic moment between the parents is (or is about to be) and how best to disrupt it. 2. How the infant protects against siblings.

Here are a few pictures of our little interrupter (who we love soooo much!):

"Hmm... what to do, what to do?"


"Oh, there's my fist, I think I can fit it all in my mouth."
"I'm going to keep trying anyway."






Cool dude!

  1. You are funny! These are all so true! Except we are having another one in September so obviously the interruptions don't always work. :)
