Aaaw, the POUTY lip! What an adorable baby. My husband has a habit of accidentally scaring my 7 month old. Once he was playing dinosaurs with him and he said “RAWR!” a bit too loud and Gabe started crying and looking at me to save him, it was so sad. Dad was just too scary. What cracks me up is how much he HATES to have anything done around his face. Putting shirts on, wiping off boogers, all cause this angry cranky cry. It’s like, dude it’s just a shirt, it’ll be over in a second. And plus, I’m not going to leave those boogers just hanging out on your nose all day. But like **Silver Fire,** he got back at me by puking into my eye the other day. Do not nom bellies after baby has just eaten, even if it’s all fat and cute. It’s just not going to end well. ---

Too cute! **Dweezil** _loved_ the raspberry noises - nothing made him giggle more reliably than rude mouth noises. To make him cry, we had to bring out the power tools. (No, we didn’t do it deliberately! But nothing made him shriek in terror more than the food processor - we had to put the thing away and not use it for several years). ---

Beware of the raspberry. I used to blow raspberries at Squeaky. Now, at 20 months, every third sound that child makes is Thhh—hhhhh—hhhhp!!! ---

Once my infant nephew was upset and crying, but _at the same time_ he was doing that “b-b-b-b” thing with his lips. Everyone was laughing. I tried to tell him that he wasn’t doing his case any good, but he doesn’t listen to me. 🙂 ---

After all the worrying, pain, fretting, floor-walking, colicky nights etc… you deserve a little amusement at their expense! Adorable video. ---

Oh my goodness, she IS just darling. (Don’t worry, you’re just getting your licks in before she starts into the terrible toddler years!) ---

Grumpy? More like WTF. Remember that she will, in less time than you think, be looking for the old folks home that she thinks you deserve to be in. Bwahahaha. 😃 ---

You are obviously a horrible parent and I will need to confiscate that baby. Give her here. 😉 She’s gorgeous, pouty face and all. When my oldest was a baby, my husband discovered by accident that, if he blew gently into her face, it made her stick her tongue out. It was hilarious. ---

Was the ‘chatting’ video yours, too? Either way, you have one seriously adorable baby. ---
