Autumn Around 10 to 12 Weeks

Autumn-obile in action!

Nicknames

• Newborn: Li'l Gurl, Cutie, Peanut (think small & cute), Diaper Girl, Pumpkin (Pie), Wiggly-worm and Monkey Girl(see arms and legs all over the place on the changing table), Princess, Darling, Sweetie...
• Pre-natal: Baby, baby; LJT (Li'l Junior Thing -- we didn't know the sex :))

Abused Jingles

• "You ARE the cutest girl in the world, hello!" in the voice of a British dominatrix, as per You ARE the weakest link, goodbye!
• "Diaper, diaper girl..." sung to the tune of Macho Man (we're too embarrased to mention the one that goes "Diaper Girl! Do do do do do do do..." to the theme of Hercules)

The Hood Ornament Position, copyright by Dave K, is sometimes also referred to as the "Autumn the Tank Engine Position". Developed over many hours of clinical research (ie, trial and error until she stopped crying), this back-breaking position was employed for hours every night until about 6 weeks, walking the Li'l Gurl in near darkness from room-to-room around the house until she conked out. For permission to use this hold with your own child, please contact our legal department concerning licensing permissions. (Or, send us an email and say hi :)

After about 6 weeks, the "kicking factor" set in, making her hard to hold in place. At this point, the well-known Football Position kept the legs kicking like a fish in the back :)

She's so sweet,
She's so cute!
She was born
In her birthday suit!

She's so sweet,
She's so nice!
Look her over
Once or twice...

She's so cute,
She's so sweet!
From her head
Down to her feet!

She's so cute,
But she's not thin!
She's got a dimple
On her chin!

Her eyes are beautiful
And bright,
They're big and colored
Like hematite!
