Remember this adorable face? Yea, well he is not that adorable when he is angry. In fact, he is anything adorable. He becomes a “head throwing, fist throwing, anything lying around in near distance throwing” baby.
Case in point.
The other night he woke up. Hubby got D-man up from his side of the room, brought him to bed with us. Basically the same as any other night. Except it was really hot, I mean like a humid furnace in the 9th circle of hell kind of hot.
And D-man wasn’t in the mood for the same as any other night routine.
He didn’t want to nurse. Instead he wanted his juice. “JUUUUUUUUUUUCE” At the top of his lungs to be exact. He knows very few words. Juice & Cracker are two he has down pat. Except cracker is for any food item & comes out more like “CRAAAAAAACKKKKKKERRRRR” complete with a gimme hand. And so at the adamant desire for his “JUUUUUUUUUUUCE” Hubby went to go grab the cup while I attempted to calm D-man down.
Yea, that didn’t go so well.
Instead my raging baby decided to grab my hair. Ok, fine. I can handle that, but apparently I was off my baby game. I blame the fact that it was late & hot. Because he then managed to headbutt me, directly into my right eye. I wondered at that moment if he understood that I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM!! HOW DARE HE!!
And oh the sound of his head coming into full contact with my eye & eye socket caused Hubby to think that my eye socket may have been broken. I’m being completely serious on that statement. That is how awful the sound was & the ensuing crying on my behalf. (What? You’ve never had a baby take out your eye & cried like a baby yourself? Trust me, if it had been you, you’d have cried too.)
D-man on the other hand was all smiles once he had his “JUUUUUUUUUUUCE” & was back to his usual smiley self. Me on the other hand, well, I’m sporting a black eye. One that causes people stop and ask in “OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYE!” with no subtly at all. Then I have to explain that the cute baby I have is hot tempered & if he wants his “JUUUUUUUUUUUCE” you better have it for him or be faster on the head bob before he gets ya.
Because let me tell you, it’s embarrassing to tell people you lost to a baby.

Poor you!
I’ve also lost to a baby. (she bit me) I cut her off after that. She was not happy with me.
LOL
He did bite me when nursing, first time that happened where it was so painful. I think he is a little bruiser.
No, if they’re people who believe in being honest, they’ll absolutely get it. 100%.
Exactly.
I was talking to another Mom I know, she actually had to see a specialist because her daughter as a baby scratched her cornea. OUCH! I got away lucky in comparison
OUCHIE – ALL THE WAY FROM INDIANA!!! Better keep a stash of JUUUUUUUCEE under the bed just in case . . . or learn to duck!
Wow, that’s some serious head thrust action to give you a black eye!
