baby blue

 * things i dont want to forget of late: * 

 

. . . . . cause he is already growing up so fast. . .

•  the way when something surprises him his eyes get really big, or his hands pop out like a flying eagle
• how he enjoys sucking on wash clothes and will suddenly BITE DOWN HARD with his 'no teethers' and then get confused
• how he is ticklish behind his neck folds (*funny how you never can see a baby's neck- they are like turtles)
• how his smile always starts out a bit lopsided

• how hard he tries to fit two fists in his mouth at the same time, or hold two hands and one foot
• how he looks like he has shaky sea legs whenever he is trying to stand up
• how he is learning to shrill/scream, and it is either a sign of deep happiness - or extreme fussiness

 

• how his father and i find it funny that he is such a 'serious chap' , he always stares at us soo hard and taps his fingers when he is concentrating , what could be going on in that little mind of his.. ?

• how he is starting to recognize me when i come to get him in the morning and his pure gummy -baby- smile -of -happiness melts my heart even though i am exhausted
• how he gives a sort of 'shiver of happiness' when he is particularly excited
• how he blows bubbles and says 'bb bbb bbb bubb bubbb" when he is tired at night

• how still the safest place for him to be in perched on my shoulder  like a tree frog
• how he likes to grab my hair and be tickled by it on the changing table (*i am going bald as a result)
• how funny his face looked when the March wind blew on his face for the first time in a stroller ride

even the bad things,

 

 like how his WHOLE face turns upside down- and  he pinches me when he is upset..
