Tristan has an umbilical hernia. It makes her already outie belly-button protude even further. Over time, the hernia will heal. Now, however, she likes to hold it.
She doesn’t just hold it, though. She holds it when she’s drinking from her bottle or sucking her thumb. Almost invariably, she does the latter (suck her thumb) immediately after the former (drink her bottle) because she always does the latter (suck her thumb) when she’s sleepy, which is also often the result of the former (drink her bottle). It’s a hell of a sight.
This cute, cuddly, little baby-girl grabs her bottle, throws back her head, grabs her umbilical hernia-enhanced outie belly-button, then waddles through the house and, thus, morphs into a little bubba.
Not Buddah.
Bubba.
There different…except that they’re both very satisfied.
As is Tristan.
