Bringing home Baby

So Clare and I were preparing to babysit Rixie-Jo (our youngest FBC member) this weekend and trying to decide what can we possibly do to entertain a 3 month old while also entertaining ourselves.  I think that after reading this post Melissa will be quite glad that plans fell through: 

clerrrr: oh so did we get final word on babysitting?

me: yeah I told you didn't I

  Sunday afternoon

  she's dropping her off at my place

  I'll set up a time with her tomorrow

clerrrr: what should we do with her? 

me: make anne geddes photos (reference here http://www.annegeddes.com/Modules/Anne/Galleries/index.aspx)

clerrrr: omg YES

  i'll bring the flowerpot

clerrrr:  can we put makeup on a baby?

me: ummm...yeah

is that even a real question?

  once you leave the womb beauty and being attractive to men is the number one priority

  duh clare

clerrrr: maybe even some false eyelashes?

 me: and dentures

  since she doesn't have teeth yet

clerrrr: aren't they called flippers?

me: why yes of course...flippers!

 clerrrr: perfect

me: this is what I'm thinking

 

me: and we definitely need to buy stuff from this shop for our photo shoot

clerrrr: oh god...isn't it just disgusting when babies aren't girly?

clerrrr: makes me wanna throw up when babies are all butch

 me: Angelina Jolie is basically ruining Shiloh for LIFE

me: ummmmm

 no words….

clerrrr: okay now that i've recovered from the shock, i'm trying to legitimately figure out what is happening in this picture...and i'm failing

  there is something severely wrong with the head and i don't know what

  like...why is it so white? and then above the bow, it gets darker?

HELP ME

 me: Did they just cut out a picture of a baby head and put it on a doll?

 clerrrr: perhaps...but why wouldn't they just take a picture of an actual baby wearing the costume?

me: that's a good question

  especially when you want to sell said costume

clerrrr: and even if for some reason you've decided that you must use a photo of a baby, you have the ENTIRE internet of photos to choose from...why would you choose a picture of a crying, deathly looking baby??

 me: this one is also questionable

clerrrr: stay focused!... go back to baby princess

  and zoom in like twice

clerrrr: and notice that the baby inexplicably has a 5 o'clock shadow

clerrrr: WHAT IS HAPENING HERE??

clerrrr: i like how they didn't even crop out the white space over its head

 me: I know

basically though

  we are buying this for Rixie

clerrrr: WAIT, WE CAN'T!!! it says it's out of stock

  which makes this even more mysterious

  bc apparently people want to buy this product???

clerrrr: oh jess...are you ready for one more?

  you may need to prepare yourself

me:   ok

  I'M READY

clerrrr: THE EYES

me: HOLY SHIT

 clerrrr: exactly

 me: ok...I have to stop

 clerrrr: it was good/bewildering while it lasted

So there you all go…not only to get to enjoy a day in the life of Clare, Jess, and the internet but also some amazing ways to dress your future spawn.  For more ideas go here http://www.buycostumes.com/Hot-Dog-Bunting-Costume/18129/ProductDetail.aspx
