Wrist fat

Do you see this? Isn't it great? The beginning stages of wrist fat! Wrist fat is one of my favorite things about babies and Ella is finally beginning to get some. I love it when babies look like they have those screw-on hands. You know when they have so much wrist fat it looks like someone just screwed their little hands too tight on to their arms? Yeah...love it. I'm thinking that if you have fat rolls on your wrist you're doing okay and there's really no chance you're going to wither away. And I'm pretty sure that only in the first year or two of life is anyone really ever thrilled that they have wrist fat. So proud of my girl and her wrist rolls. By the way, she weighed 11 lbs. at the doc today, woo-hoo!!

Completely off topic but I just discovered this children's show called Yo Gabba Gabba. I know most people have probably seen it because it's been on for a few years but it's new to me. Anyway, since Ella still has to be distracted somewhat to eat we've been watching it sometimes while I try to feed her. Have you seen this show? Bizarre and hysterical at the same time. I know I have a warped sense of humor but seriously this show is just so strange that it's funny. I don't even know how to describe it but let me just start out by saying that it involves a grown man dressed in an orange shag wig and orange unitard. Unitards could be a whole other post in itself but as if orange unitard guy isn't enough it also features 80's rapper Biz Markie. I know, awesome right? Ring a bell with any of you old-school rap fans out there? You remember Biz Markie, famous for his beat-boxing and the song "Just a Friend." So great. I mean who wants to watch Dora or The Wiggles when you've got Biz Markie teaching kids about personal hygiene by beat-boxing about things like how to brush your teeth? Not me. :) After his segment it's not too far out there to say that on any given day you might also see a girl playing her recorder through her nose or a guy teaching kids how to do "The Robot." Honestly, that's good stuff. I'm not making this up, so weird. It doesn't disappoint because every episode also ends with all the strange characters of the show inviting a celebrity friend for "dancey-dance" time where they all dance together. So far I've seen Jan from The Office and Rachel Dratch from SNL. Not even kidding. Simply stunning.

Next post I'll have something more worthwhile and mature to write about. :)
