Well as you know I turned three months old recently, April 16th to be exact. So now that I’m well into my third month of life, Mom and Dad have started checking in on certain “Milestones” that I’m supposed to have achieved.

I’m really not so amused by this. Its just too much pressure for a three month old. And, in fact, I’m going to protest. I’m refusing to giggle. That’s right. They can read all the baby books in the universe, the entire “What to Expect” series, and nothing in there is going to help them to get me to laugh, giggle, or even squeal in delight. I just won’t do it. This monkey does NOT dance on command. Dad can hyperventilate doing his “booga booga booga” thing all night long for all I care, not cracking a giggle here!

I wasn’t aware of this little program that Dad had going until this morning when they snapped this photo:

This photo looks innocent enough. I am always happy to pose for a photo. I’ve even been told I’m quite photogenic.

But when I saw this snapshot on my laptop, I was like “WAIT A MINUTE!!!! WHAT IS THAT BEHIND MY HEAD????!!!” It’s a triangle ruler thingy used to measure angles. Specifically this triangle ruler thingy is being used, diabolically, to measure the angle at which I’m holding my head. Dad wanted to prove that I was holding my head at 90 degrees, a supposed “milestone” for my age group. Can you say Pedantic? Sheesh, Mom and Dad, if you’re reading this, I’ll get to your so-called “milestones” when I’m good and ready! And until you two get a life, you’ll hear no giggling out of me! HA!
