Baby Lucy has the hiccups ALL THE TIME! I mean, she gets them like five times a day. Everyone that comes to visit comments on her propensity for loud, vigorous, insane hiccups. All of these visitors has taken time to recount their favorite hiccup remedy - everything from eating honey in an upside down spoon to drinking water from a glass covered with a washcloth. When Brian lived in Chile, all the little kids would walk around with wet pieces of newspaper stuck to their heads to cure their hiccups. The newspaper is required to be white with no words in order to work - so he thought a paper towel would be a reasonable substitute. Poor Lucy...I tried to advocate on her behalf for how silly this was, but then...it worked! Two minutes after the wet paper towel was stuck to her head, she quit. Crazy.
Lucy loves to sleep with her hand up in the air. Every time she does it - Brian yells "Power to the Baby People!" or "Si se puede", which means "Yes we can!" I have to admit - it's actually kind of hilarious.
Brian has discovered that while Lucy is sleeping he can put things on her and take pictures. Poor thing - there's going to be a million pictures of her with socks on her head by the time she's old enough to swat them off.
The pen is mightier than the sword
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you wouldn't try honey, since babies can't have it until they are one, for some reason (although I'm sure M's mom will try to give it to Maya, with lentils and eggs, gross). I love the home remedy Brian came up with! And Maya's crazy hiccups have mainly gone away...I wonder why they get them?
