Driving under the Influence

The baby voice. The funny faces. The peek a boos. The crazy dance. The oink oinks and the moo moos. Even the bark barks. We do whatever it takes to entertain our little one to drag a minute into an extra 15 just so we can make it through the grocery line or the drive thru or the car ride home. As a mom, you know why your baby cries. You know she's hungry, gassy, tired, bored, or just wants some attention, etc. And when those times are somewhat inconvenient, what do we do... we distract. This video is a prime example and my reason #1 (selfishly) to have at least two children (but not anytime soon). One cries, the other distracts, and Daddy gets everyone home safely.

Oh she is sooo cute! Both of my children have hated the car. Thomas was not able to help much when West was tiny but now, as soon as West starts to fuss Thomas will start "Westy say Dada!" "Westy say mama!" Westy laughs and laughs and stops crying!

I think once you have a baby you develop that double jointed shoulder to get your arm twisted around to the car seat. Doug is amazed that I can drive and give Cooper his paci at the same time.
