I give my parents a D+. Neither of us died which usually would be a C, but my mom forgot to give me a jelly bean that night. So D+. Turns out, however, that the parents did go on a date and felt terrible that their baby cried for so much of the night. They felt so terrible, in fact, that they bought us a new bathroom set. Wow! Note to readers: if the parents of a kid named after a reality show villain (not Omarosa) ask you to sit for them --- take that deal!
Despite the new accoutrement in the bathroom, I realized a storm brewing with New Mexico on the way. Determined to pick up the slack for my parents, I started to befriend Celeste.
She gave me ample opportunities for practice. I learned how to test milk for temperature.
I also learned a new technique for burping. Just squeeze them between your legs!
Feeling more confident that I can cover up for my parents deficiencies, I felt much better. Celeste and I hope to see all of you soon!

Oh my! I didn't know that Maya was a sympathy crier. That could be bad news for Mom and Dad.
Love, Grandma C
I really hope that play baby, Celeste if that is in fact her real name, is not the feed and wet kind of play baby. I saw one at the Target yesterday. AUNT J can only handle so many wet diapers at one time.
Ohhhhh, sorry about the sad little baby in your parents' care, M.
The bathroom looks lovely, though.
B, that is a cute haircut :)
I love the picture of the burping. Man, I wish I had figured out how to burp my babies like that...I could have multi-tasked that way...you know, read a book or styled my hair while burping.
I keep telling people I want to put up a secret meltdown cam in your living room for when NM arrives, but now I see you are going to do it for me. Thanks!
You guys are going to do great!!!! :) That video was hilarious! Good Luck!! See you all in June!
Oh I know mom is ready for that baby to come--out at least that is! You guys will be great, and as we see from the photos M is a natural.
Clemmer I'm so mad I didn't know about this. We can be blog friends. This is so exciting. You're daughter is so stinkin cute. Looks like her Mom. Can't wait to hear more about your life.
