and they called me hilda

that's what my lola mami called me once when they were here.from then on they call me princess hilda whenever i'd get cranky

Why hilda?... That's short for bruhilda. And that's because i'm cranky most of the time. I admit, I am a fussy baby and probably colicky,but at least i know what i'm mad about. I even have a "matapobre" look, as they described it. And yes,there are many many things that can make me wail. I've listed them down below including the typical ones.

1. When i'm hungry... I get mad at mom when i've depleted her milk and still feels hungry, then i'd be mad if my bottled milk isn't ready when i'm done nursing from mom. Yeah,patience is a virtue,and obviously i have not acquired that yet.

2. When my diaper needs changing, specially when it's poopy. And oh yes, i make sure they know it.

3. When i'm full of gas or have difficulty pooping

4. When im bored with whatever, ie like the way i'm held or carried. It has to be changed evry now and then. Sometimes i like standing up,well,the one who's carrying me. And he or she has to dance and sing or hum my and lola mami's song (that theme song from dyosa)

5. When i want to sleep but couldn't coz i'm either irritated or there are just so much happening around me. And for me to be able to sleep, i have to pacify on my mommy's breasts and just feel her warm love and embrace around me

6. When i'm too sleepy but wouldn't want to. Everyone gets surprised on how i try to keep my eyes widely open despite being too sleepy, but im sure its pretty obvious.

7. When i'm strapped in a carseat... Well, i'm not like most babies who love driving around in their carseats. So imagine how the family travels with me wailing in my seat. It was difficult! Lola mami would make dad stop anywhere just so mom or she could carry me and calm me down to be able to strap me back to my seat. And whenever we're leaving the house,they make sure im changed, well-fed and sleeping. Haha

8. I don't even like my swing. I would let my dad put me there for a short time,then i'd cry coz i just hate being there

9. I hate baths!... Again, not typical. So they had to do everything quickly. Wiping me clean is also an issue for me

10. Getting my clothes off and dressing up... They couldn't even put mittens and socks easily on me nor swaddle me.Talk about personal space getting messed up

11. When i agree to lie alone on my crib and the crib mobile stops playing or when there's no one to talk to... I just want to be with my loved ones and see them all the time

Such a short list eh? Anything on this list will really make me cry like there's no tomorrow. Wanna see how? Watch this. If that won't make you panic like my lola mami,i dunno what will. That's why my lola mami is always to-the-rescue whenever i cry. So i terribly miss her.

Well, i may be crying more than other babies and making my mom cry with me sometimes, but my precious smiles and coos just melt everyone's hearts. they then forget how such a cry baby i am. So go ahead, call me hilda ;)
