They call me Mr. Mellow

{sung to the tune of Mellow Yellow}


So, I love that he is such a fabulous baby! The girls love to hold him; they fight over whose turn it is. And he is usually pretty accommodating.


He can fall asleep by himself, if I let him. But since he is a cuddler, I like to cuddle with him until he falls asleep (a decision I may live to regret later, but for now, who cares, right?!?). He does this cute (what I call) dinosaur cry sometimes after he has kinda cried out... It sounds to me like a velocaraptor sound. Love it. He hates to be naked... Makes diaper changes a little tough, but he survives :) I love when he really settles in to nurse: he pulls in his arms and legs and gets tiny and comfortable. Here is a cute picture of his feet when he is nursing.

And speaking of nursing, he is a total male. When he is done, he is not just a cute baby burper- he is a total belcher... His Auntie Thompson would be so proud :)

And he was so awake and alert today (I had to actually put him down for a minute) so we broke out the camera. A couple are "deer in the headlights" but at least his eyes are open.


He looks like he is about to talk to you.


This is a total "Well..." picture :)


Yawning... (Dimple)
